I just put a DDM H4 55w 5000k kit into my 00 600 F4. Compared to stock it puts out a ridiculous amount of light. I did a group ride yesterday and was running tail gunner, the group leader at one of our stops commented on how bright the light was even from the front of the pack. He said it was really easy to tell where the end of the group was. It was really sunny yesterday as well.

My only issue with the kit was that I had to get some wire and connectors to lengthen the wires to the battery, this is easy to do though. Fitting the ballast and the DCU in the front fairing was also really interesting, there's not much space up there. I recommend it though. I'll try to get a picture.

BTW, I compared the kit to my buddies integra that has 35w 8000k headlights, and my one headlight outshines his two significantly.
