Saw a few different lamp upgrades some bulbs, some entore new systems. some that require you to bake you headlamp when done lol. ANy suggestions? Or should i just leave it the hell alone?

i put in hids and they seem to be an improvement

Yeah that is what im leaning towards. was looking at that cool angel eyes thing from the same company too .

 

[finepooch]

i don't like the angel eyes. one day you will see a pic of your bike and you will say to yourself "what was i thinking?"
i could email you pics of the hids vs. stock. pm you email address to me.

did you get the pics? can you figure out how to post them?

Ballast

Finepooch, Where did you mount the ballast exacttly? Ive been looking under the plastics but I m not seeing much room. Any chance you can email me pics? [email protected] Thanks!

the ballasts were a challenge. the ones i have are the standard, large size. i could not find a place to mount them at the front of the bike. i'd bet the slim design ones could be mounted up front. i recommend the slim ballasts.

my neighbour spliced extensions into all the wiring. he taped it up real nice and ran the wiring to the ballasts in the trunk. i wired two 12v fans in the trunk in an effort to keep things cool. i don't use the trunk so the fans aren't in my way. i have a triple tree bag for wallet and phone.

overall i am happy with the hids. they are a different light. the thing i notice most is the way the road signs are light up. they look like they are back lit! i definitely reccomend the slim ballasts.

oh, my temp color is 4300 and i like it a lot.
