Re: Let there be...

What temp are they?

5000k main? and is that 6000k or 8000k fogs? guessing 6000k by the last pic.

Do you blind people with them? ive had people flash me coming oposite way and pull over for me when following people in my car with my 55w 6000ks :p

Re: Let there be...

It seems a little OTT. You goin to be like a Mod but without a shed load of mirrors, for you it'll be a shed load of lights? :p

Hope they work well for you. ;)

Not ridden with the spots on yet, only fitted them yesterday, but not had problems with the 35W dipped beam, even if the height of the bike means that it lights up to the top of the boot on large saloon cars, your experience is echoed by a few people with 55W kits in their headlamp units so that's why I went with 55W in the spot lamps only

Greek - the ADV headlamp is notoriously weedy, the dipped beam with HID throws about enough light for regular road riding but if you ride on country lanes or off-road it's beyond it's capability and you need aux lights - the main beam is very good at throwing a laser like beam of light directly down the road in front of you but not at lighting the ground in front of, or to the side of the bike, like the FF50s. For normal riding only the dipped beam is on, the photos show the bike with low and high beam

Re: Let there be...

I uprated the bulbs on the daytona.
60w dip and 100w main beam.
And yes I do know its not road legal but they look cool and I can actually see to ride the bike in the dark!

Is that a daytona 675? The projector lamps in those work really well with HIDs and the stock wiring harness can handle two 35W kits just fine:cool:

Re: Let there be...

ah didnt know that, intresting, oh well, i can see :D

speedplay carefull the 100w dont burn your wiring out

Theres more than enough cold air passing over it to keep things nice and cool ;)

I did it with the sv too and never had any problems.
