So all in all, a good mod I think. I used a 6000k kit, which is a bit whiter than it needs to be. I'd sooner have used something in the 4000 range but this was cheaper. It's not blue though, so not as attention-grabbing. I still need to do a bit of finetuning, and with the damaged left headlight I'll probably go back to a halogen there, one bixenon HID seems a very good compromise. While it's totally illegal it's not particularily blatant- especially on dips- so I don't expect it to get me in any trouble. And I'm personally convinced it's completely safe, which was my big concern.

The wiring will remain how it is, it's a total bodge but rewiring it all would commit me a wee bit to the bike's current layout, which is going to change next year so I've kept it simple.
