Not on bike but in car i got H7 6000k 55w kit and they are great went out other night as i pulled out of drive (about 50 - 100meters or so down the road) i saw loads of reflictive strips light up and that was all i could see at the time drove down road and there was 20 odd people in a runnin group in flourescent jackets it made them a lot safer and me a lot safer the light on the road is fantastic as well

Me.

Ace, hi-beam is a weapon. Last time I was heading down through wales you could see road signs and catseyes glowing at half a mile or so. Works a treat.

Go for the 4200K rather than 6000K though, mine is 6 and is just a bit too obviously purpley for me.

I would definately agree 4200 is the brightest you can get 6000k starts to get abit smurfy. when i ordered mine they came with 6000k bulbs by mistake which the company changed for 4200k which gave a much better light.

Oh yeah mine is only the 35W one.

Next bike is having twin 55s, just to make sure it makes any insects within 100 yards burst into flame...
