Dominate, those are 8000k. If your looking for the brightest overall, go with the 6,000k, anything over 6k and its more towards looks than function.

I am thinking this will become a winter project. Do they plug into the stock wires or is there cutting involved? also pics up the road both high and low would be appreciated

No cutting involved..Unless you want to .

On high i can see 5 times farther than with the stock lights,esp on the sides of the road.I light up road signs 1/2 mile + away..

As far as how long they will last.Ive had mine over a year now with zero issues.

I didn't make any cuts either. Stuck the wires for the ballast in the stock bulb socket for its power signal to the box and did a really good tape job.

The bulbs that come with the HID setup, do they fit flush on to the existing opening or do you have to tape them somehow? I hope this makes sense.

They fit the hole ,but are a tad thinner than stock bulbs(aka slightly loose in the socket)..I just made a spacer out of rubber to make them fit tight..No issues at all.

The metal clip holds the bulb in, just tighten the screw nice and tight.

Quick question. I'm picking up a HID kit from ebay as well. I know with my car, my HID came with a relay. Is this needed for a motorcycle? cause the kit I'm looking at doesn't have a relay just 2 balasts and 2 bulbs with wiring
