Don't forget to post some pics after you've done them. I'm keen to see what they look like

Fair enough you think they're chavy, but like I mentioned earlier - I quite like 'em!

And for the person asking, these specific ones come as a xenon conversion kit.
Replacing the standard H4 bulbs and the reflectors to a very powerful projector beam which has a halo ring around it that works as a side light.

I do, however, believe that using the standard H4 lamps and installing stand-alone halos is a little chavy, but this kit looks professional once done.

That's my opinion anyways.

Assuming you are referring to an HID Kit, then its chavvy AND illegal (or is that chavvy++ ?



Usual rules apply - your bike, your choice

They used to say all sorts of awful things about me and LEDs...

Generally that illegal bit I'd say is acceptable when it allows such niceties as seeing where you're going.

No that I've got you lots attention and have figured out how to sort out the halo issue...

If I wanted to be able to control the main xenon bulb through a switch (because it automatically switches on/off as the normal H4 bulbs) what sort of wiring would I need for that? Is it much complicated or not?

I agree on that point, but when they affect the ability of other users to see where THEY are going I have a problem.

I know what you mean soul kiss, but I will be adjusting these properly so they are facing downwards onto the road rather than straight onto the cars ahead. It also has low/high beam option and that would be used accordingly also.

I hate it just as much as you do, believe me. But you must also believe that I will be adjusting them responsibly.
