The 5 and 6k looked good too, I just liked the overall blue appearance of the 8k better. To each their own, but all of the hid lights are a huge improvement over the stock bulbs!

 

also, i noticed you said to get the 35 watt ballast...so there isn't much difference actually between the 35 watt and 55 watt ballast?

 

If I remember right, somewhere down the line someone told me that with the 55w ballast the bulb may get too hot for the f4i's headlight housing. Don't quote me on that though, because I could be way off. haha

 

well. the bike I'm getting is a CBR600RR. IDK if the headlight housing is different, but I figured I'd listen to Nate and go with what you two went with and get the 35 watt ballast. lol I haven't even got the bike yet, but supposed to get the bike tomorrow!

 

Have fun with it man, and enjoy it! They are a blast

 

The 55W system ballasts are larger than the 35W ballasts - not by a HUGE amount but a bigger difference with out limited space.
55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).

55w Kits are not recommended for smaller fog light housings because they tend to concentrate a large amount of heat in a small area.

and 55w may fry your wiring. They work the bulb harder / put out more heat which could shorten life span.

All in all you can't really tell the difference. 35w's work great. So not worth the potential problems of 55w.

 

I figured that had something to do with it. well. I'm glad I can already buy parts for a bike I haven't even gotten the keys to yet, but I'm optimistic and everything should be taken care of tomorrow. I'm gonna be a happy camper with HID's in the bike and car! can u say double pics! lol

 

I'm excited for it Cody! Can't wait to see the new bike!

 

Thx man! If I could have I would have bought Isabelle, but I know she went to a good owner! The lucky dog, lol. I'll have the Nikon ready as soon as I pull in the drive with her!

 

Yeah, I just bought the same kit from DDM tuning too (5000k). It should be coming in the mail any day now. Can't wait to see how much brighter it is!
