HID question
#11
Ill throw up some pics of everything asap. But these ballasts are super small, half the thickness of a deck of cards. They come with sticky pads too. i stuck mine right behind and under the tip sensor against the walls of the headlight housing. Both fit perfectly in there.
Some people have had problems with 55w melting headlight assemblys. i went with the 35w kit and 6000k temp, blinding white with a blue tint.... 50$ shipped to my house and it comes with 2 light setups for both lo and hi-beams.. the bulbs are identical, its the chrome reflectors in the housing that change the output of the light for lo/hi beam.
I used to hate getting stuck with my tinted visor on after sunset. but now it doesnt matter, even with a tinted visor it still looks like daytime in front of you with these puppies on.

$39.99!! thats the price of a DDM Tuning HID kit. Stay away from that junk. I just put in the HID kit and it is AMAZING.... I mean bright as the freakin SUN. .......... Plug and play, no cutting or splicing. Hardest part was hiding the ballast, entire install took 30 mins, only thing you have to remove is the windscreen. I went with 35w 6000k H7 bulbs. Will post up some pics later.
BTW F4i bulbs are H7 type.

6000 35W is definitely the winner! I put some in two years ago and they are still brighter than ever!
You wont be disappointed in the DDM kit, but i do advise going with the 35w!
Standard halogen VS 35W 6000K HID:
Both HID's in:
I too run a tinted visor, i get stuck riding at night sometimes and can still see no problem out in the boonies!

Thanks, Im gonna order them soon and use your guide.
O and do you know anything about these (35 W) being ok in a projector headlights? I have the Xenon 5900K in my car right now but all those seem to do is change them from a yellow to a white color, and not increasing distance. What do you guys think? I didn't know if it would get to hot, the website says the 35 W isn't as hot.

truly its as easy as putting a plug into a wall, no cut, no splies, safest $40 you can spend, everyone around you gets jealous too. the lowbeam 35w is brighter than you stock high and low. I def recommend taking the front fairing/housing off, set it on a pillow and the work takes 10 mins. the 55w has been known to melt housings, why chance $2-300 lenses? all you need is your 5mm key and scissor and electrical tape for insulating. I got the 8k bulb, a little more blue. but still super bright. spend the money and 2 day it lol

Def go with the HID kit........it is very easy to install and makes a HUGE difference when riding at night or during the day (helps cars see you better and not think your a scooter!!). I have had them on every car and bike I have ever own and would never settle for just reg bulbs after seeing the difference it makes..
