I'm going to do the xenon expert 8000k h7 kit with lifetime warranty on bulbs etc.

I'm just worried about this automotive stuff....got me nervous. Did your buddy "hamster" do the automotive?

Ryman,

No need to worrie about Automotive design, vs Motorcycle design. Headlight bulbs, are headlight bulbs. The manufacturer's do not want to have two differant types as then they would have to have the retailers carry inventory for two different types. Also from a business stand point, why "re-invent the wheel". The automotive kit will work just fine.

I think you mean adjust the "aim" of the light right? I've never heard of, nor would I ever even if it could be done turn down the brightness. During the day especially rush hour I ride with my highbeam on full time, at night just my low beam unless I'm on a highway. I like what someone else said on here... " if they flash me for my highbeam, at least I know they say me"

To answer your question, yes you can adjust... the "aim" of your highbeam, as it's housing your adjusting not the buld or voltage. But I personally wouldn't unless you hardly ever ride on unlit roads/highways.

Have fun, I'm going to order mine in about a month or so.... ( If I'm lucky I might get on my bike maybe two or three more times other than commuting before winter storage) I'm certainly not going to take it apart before it dips below -0c or the snow flies lol

I'm running the DDM ones on my bike and they are great. Same plug and play style. Definitely worth the money.

WOW. They JUST had to add those, because I was clicking around their store a couple days ago, and they didn't have those.

So I would DEFINITELY give them a shot. I've ordered 4 kits from them, and every one of them has performed perfectly and still going strong. I would have loved to pick up a set of these new slim ones (would make installing them MUCH easier on an 07 especially.)
