Default Re: HID's and CCFL red halos

Phil there is nothing special about the kit in the second listing apart from the supplied loom has been modified slightly. they are the exact same as the car ones but they have modified the loom supplied to make it shorter.

tbh at £150 i could supply a complete proper plug and play with pointy specific loom at that price or more than very likely a loooot cheaper. talk about ripping people off, crazzzzzy price for cutting and crimping but i suppose there is one born every min.

I have to admit, I did think it was a bit steep for a modified motorcycle HID kit. It only appears to have modified (shorter and flatter) cable and I think it has a special bracket for mounting the projector in the headlight housing. I don't mind modding my own stuff but a severe lack of time at the moment means I'll quite happily take the easy route to avoid having to do anything!

If you can put together a kit, I'd definitely be interested. I shall take this convo to pm!

Regards

Default Re: HID's and CCFL red halos

so does the pointy headlight reflector scatter the beam pattern with a hid or projector fitted?

Id like to fit a non hid projector, although those halos look awesome!!!

Im assuming those hid projectors shown in earlier posts have a mount bracket not shown in the pics?

cheers, Lee

What are the red bits for?
They look like trick brake lights more than anything - surely inviting an accident?

No it doesn't its crap. It's just a massive beam, no pattern, but I got angry with car drivers blinding me so I left them. They just fit into the original slots, you don't have to make anything

The downside with the pointy light is that suzuki didnt do an oem projector light like they did with euro curvies. That was simple to make into a uk spec projector light.

So has anyone done a decent pointy projector install with the correct beam pattern?

Lee I think you are confusing "projector" with "HID". Or am I missing something?
