HID Headlights

[Abimelec]

Hello fellow FZ6 riders,
I've been wanting to do an HID Headlight installation on my FZ6. The thing is that I don't know what type of bulb I'm supposed to order since there are many out there. Does anyone know what bulb I need to select?
I searched the sylvania website and entered my bike info and it said my high beam light bulb is an "H7" bulb and my low beam is an "9003/HB2". Do these numbers apply in general even if the HID Kit I buy is not sylvania?

The low beam bulb is a H7 type, the highbeam bulb is a H4 type (though the "low beam" filament isn't used in this bulb).

If you really want to go HID, please consider some projector lenses as well
This will give you a lot better light, with only a bit extra work (opening and resealing the headlight lens)

If you need more info, just let me know

They are the round glass piece, they project the light properly. Otherwise you'll end up with a scattering that's useless and better off getting xenon knock offs. This is also known as a "full retrofit" and will require you to take apart the headlight housing.

They look like this: https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrcqrb8a1AtodbVeptQi-sbCawOzI6Sx6lyjt4pc0Q2fnOcuCyGg

If you put an HID kit in the FZ6 headlight you get maybe 20% more light on the road and a LOT more glare which causes oncoming traffic to flash you which can be more dangerous than keeping stock lights.

With REAL HID PROJECTORS you will put at least 3 times more light on the road where you need it and far less glare.

Here's what my FZ6 output looks from dual FX-R bi-xenon HID projector retrofits:

Low beam:

High beam:
