First mod ordered

I ordered my first mod a few mins ago.

HID Low beam conversion kit. 8000K color temperature H7 Plug and play HID's are on their way!!!!

so the low beam will be all set i hope this weekend, after that i will decide on the high beam or just leave it low beam.

very nice. post some pics of b4 and after. how much did it cost if you don't mind me (us) asking. and where did you get them. so many question so little time.

good ole E-bay, i ordered a dual H7 kit and I am splitting the 2nd ballast and 2nd H7 HID bulb with my buddy who has an 05 GSXR 1000 (same H7 Low beam). total was $75 shipped including shipping insurance. so should be less than $40 for each of us when all said and done.

I will take plenty of pictures :rockon:

It is the full conversion:

Unplug original bulb and remove it,

Plug the H7 socket into the ballast, and then wire power and ground to the ballast through the relay (i am almost positive that they have the relay) and from the ballast there is a wire with another H7 socket on it. Put in the HID buklb and hook up the H7 socket from the Ballast. I am beyond psyched, i had the HID headlight on my old bike and loved it!

so the ballast is right on the back of the bulb?


i should just wait for pics but i'm impatient!

this is not the kit that i ordered but it shows very well all the parts that come in the kits and how much wire is in between. all i will need to do to ge the kit to work on 2 seperate bikes is another relay which i can get for $2-$3 anywhere.

I did this mod last week (6000k version) to the LH side (low beam only). The difference is truly awesome! When I switch the high beam on, there is hardly any difference - the HID low beam is that good!!

The one and only place to shop for these lights if your in Europe! The guy who runs it is ment to be a good person to deal with and I can tell you that the kit is superb!!

That is a great idea, most you will need is a 2nd relay, but maybe not depending on the kit. I might do the High beam later with a bi xenon H4 if someone wants to split that later this spring.

they showed up today and i am very excited.







these look amazingly simple to install, it has these two tabs to insert into the original socket, (I will probably strip some wire back off the leads and solder them, but not sure yet)


Ballast to tuck away:



and then put this bulb in...




No relays, no worries, just a true plug and play setup, and it will be extremely easy for any of you guys to split a kit!!!

cant wait to see some installed pictures...

No doubt this is cool but what effect will it have on the person driving toward you? Are these still street legal? The box says three times brighter. That said, I have four 8 inch PIAA lamps on the Jeep that I wouldn't think of turning on with somebody coming at me. They do great off road though......

these type of headlights are what the higher end cars have in them stock, it is the same as BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Higher end Subaru's, Higher end Nissan's ect... They are legal but as you can see with those high end cars, the light is a lot brighter and cleaner coming out of their headlights than the traditional style of headlight.

True, but those cars headlights are designed for HID bulbs...You may very well endup blinding oncoming traffic with these.

in the case of Mazda's, Nissan's, Subaru's, older Lexus's and some others the HID headlights are an option where they use the same lenses and simply install the ballast and special bulbs, There should be no risk of blinding oncoming traffic any more than normal if the beam is aimed properly.

Sweet. Looks pretty easy to do. :Sport:

Looks nice, but be careful, the new cars have automatic levelers on the lights to keep them in alignment. A little extra weight on the back of the bike may blind the cager that you are trying to avoid.
