That 6 k looks really good. I wish i had a buddy with hids to try it my big reason for getting them is at night I always feel as if i cant see and i am missing a bunch of stuff in the cut-off area of the bulb. I want maxium light but i still want just a hint of the blue look, its my innner ricer trying to escape i guess.

 

then 4000K - 5200K will be your best bets. they both will be blueish, no yellow color, don't worry.

 

Hey guys, i was just wondering if they are worth the money? I like the look, but cant rationalize the cost of doing it...

 

it costs like 100 bucks..not that much..but imo they're worth it for the extra visible light.

 

Has anybody herehad any problems installing the bulbs? Reason why I ask is that I bought some and tried to install the bulbs and they don't fit quite right.they seem a little loose in the housing.When I use the spacer that came with them they fit more snug but are not centered.Any ideas?

 

For the extra light ,its WELL worth it.Considering you will pay 40~60.00 for a good set of normal bulbs(piaa/silverstars).

As far as fit i just made a spacer than gave it a tight fit.Mine lined up perfect.

 

It's VERY worth it. Remember, tailights basically have one bulb especially on our stock f4i tailights. Imagine someone going really fast and you're right in front, it's sometimes hard for these blind people to notice we're right there until it's too late (especially at night too). However, at night, I light up the ground really bright. You'll notice the ground lit up before you even notice my brake lights/shape of my bike.

 

Then you get both HID low beams, but no high beam? Is it possible to squeeze a xenon low beam plus a traditional halogen high beam in each side?

 

Even if you wire them both on ,one is gonna look brighter due to the reflectors being different (low and high beam reflectors are different).

At first it the one eye looked bothered me.But ive actually got to like it.

 

Ok I have a crazy idea: if one were to take one reflector from, say, a crashed F4i, and replace the other reflector on your bike with that one (so you get either 2 low beam or 2 high beam reflectors, not sure which would be best for this), and install one of those dual-beam HID headlights in each side like those available for cars (the bulb itself is just a high beam HID that is pointed at the ground when you want low beam, and when you turn high beams on a servo moves the bulb to horizontal position so it points straigth ahead), would it be doable?

I don't know how regulations are in the US but here in Europe motorcycles have to carry low beams on at all times so if you had to signal someone with the high beams the whole waiting for the HID to warm up wouldn't be a problem because it'd be always on anyways, I think it might just work, only thing I'm not sure of is if a reflector will fit in the opposite side, can anyone confirm this?
