Looking for some bright headlights
 
Hey guys. I bought some Extreme xenon supper white lights for my 03 f4i. The guy told me they were bright but they aren't any brighter than the ones that were on there. Ive seen bikes that have a blueish tent bulbs that are super bright. What type of bulbs do you guys recommend? I need something bright because there are a lot of deer in my area and I want to be able to see them.

Hids will be much brighter than factory halogen bulbs but as for the blue tint, the more blue (or purple) color a bulb has the less light it will put out.

Check these out. Link. I just recently installed these and they work out great. The Halo CCFL's look sweet too ;)

If you're just looking for bright bulbs try Osram Nightbreakers. A little on the expensive side, but they really are very bright. Those xenon-look tinted glass bulbs are total bullsh* and the tint burns off pretty fast so those quality bulbs pay themselves off by lasting about twice as long as those cheap a** fake xenons (trust me, I've tried most of the ones in the market here, and always gone back to the Nightbreakers, in fact, am gonna go a set today for my citroen...

How did the install of these lights work out? Did they fit right in or did you have to modify them any to look good? Ive ben thinking about getting a set of them.

Yeah I learned the hard way to. Those xenon bulbs SUCK. I will never buy another set. I feel like going and throwing them back in the guys face that sold them to me. He swore by them and made them sound like the greatest bulb ever. I should have know it wasn't true being as they were kinda cheap. Thanks for the info on the Nightbreakers. I will have to check them out.

I went the DDM Tuning HID kit in the 8000k temp on my 600RR. I love them, they really light up the road well. The have a slight blue tint but not extreme at all. Cant beat them for $40 for the pair. Took a few weeks to come in from China but wort the wait. Go to ddmtuning.com if your interested. Heres a pic of them on my bike.

Wish I could put HIDs on too, but sadly they are illegal here if the vehicle at hand didn't have an options for them when bought new...
