Darknights are a commin

[markmoto]

Ok with the dark nights here im thinking about upgrading my lights to HID XENON you can get the kits off ebay very reasonably, im jsut wondering does anyone have them or know anyone with them and do they make a significant difference? My lights are good on the fazer but they cant be bright enough eh :cool:. Also they reduce the current drain on your charging/battery apperently, which will give me more current for my toasty grips :D

Just ordered a pair of Philips X-Treme Power Bulb H4 with a pair of free xenon side lights should shed some light on the subject :cool:

if you dont mind me asking, how much and where from?

Hid and Xenon are different kinds of bulb
Hid high intensity discharge life is limited to how many times you switch it on and give brighter light for less wattage
and xenon is a halogen type bulb with a different gas inside and gives whiter light usually found in projectors

Is it just me or are Car drivers getting less coureous with their High beams?

My "test" ride tonight wen't on a little longer than expected and I've had to do the last 50 miles in the dark and I've had to flash almost every driver coming the other way becasue they just left their High beams on coming the other way.

Where can I get some bulbs that'll make sure they get the message? :D

I'll also have to adjust the headlights on the bike tomorrow because fitting stronger fork springs means I get a great view of the tree tops on high beam but nothing actually on the road :)
