HID Lighting Upgrade
 
Has anyone fitted an HID Bi-Xenon lighting kit to a "curvey"? Fed up listening to "hear-say" horror stories!! First hand experience/knowledge feedback would be much appreciated.:study:

H4 kit.
Cheap e bay ones are a lottery
Ps select 4600k as its a better real world light same as oe hid s are.

Got one fitted to my Gixxer!

IMO...Brilliant bit of kit if for nothing else making you more visible! If you have reflector lenses it has been suggested that you get H-R/RM bulbs! As NTECUK said no point going over 6000k as you loose the the brightness!

Good luck

I've had the cheap ebay ones fitted for a couple of years now. I agree with NTEC I initially went for 6000k but found the light poor (too cold) for unlit lanes have now changed to 4300k which I find perfect for what I want. They are much better than halogens giving a wider brighter spread of light, you will need to adjust the beam height as it will differ from when halogens are fitted, I used the masking tape on a wall method and get no problems with oncoming vehicles being blinded. Seems to sail through the MOT..... so far!!!!

Not much more than n changing a normal bulb ..
If your not too stiff and can work in tight spaces your not have to take much off.
The ballast needs a 12v supply and ground.keep it out of the rain but get air around it.
