HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning

You want H7's.

I personally got 35w 6k's. I would recommend the 35w and you can get whichever color you like.

5k is more White. 8k is more blue.

i roll my high beams at ALL times, i have only been flashed once or twice in a few years, everyone rides where i live ( Nor - Cal ) and it is REALLY Common to see High beams or those flashers on the bike, I like to be seen.

They come as a complete kit so you'll get both. And you'll want both too.

WOW! I bet that'll look awesome with my R6 projectors in my F4i. How was the installation? Was it hard, easy, straight forward? do i need any additional tools/parts?

The black one is an RR and was a little harder then the F4i.

Figuring out where to mount the balasts / wires is the hardest part.

Same here. Had my bike for almost 2 years and ALWAYS run my brights, only been flashed once. I live near a police station so I ride by cops quite often, never had a problem.
