Would recommend them

Use the code "strathy" when going through checkout and you'll get a decent discount, used to be 40%, think it's more like 20% now, if it still works that is...

Awesome Ta

Is this just one bulb and Ballast or two?

If you replace both bulbs on a pointy SV it's likely the the headlamp fuse will not be able to sustain the current draw at startup, so you'll need to contruct a basic relay loom to wire them directly (fused!!!) to the battery

i used the hids4u twin slim ballast kit on my K8 pointy.. no need for relay just put everything in the nose faring and plugged it up to the main connector..

no problems so far...

i originally used the supplied sticky pads to stick the ballasts to the inside of the air scoops but that lasted about 2 minuets then rattled around for weeks till i bolted the slim ballasts to the inside of the air scoops..

That's just one ballast and one bulb

You need this one with twin H4 bulbs

Bright? Colour temp simplistically is the balance of Red Green and Blue. Daylight is around 5000-5500K under a mid day blue sky. Lower temperatures tend towards red, higher towards blue.
Best results with lighting come in the 4200-5000K range. In this range you will not notice a difference in brightness or light output, but will notice a slight shift in colour with the 5000K being slightly whiter, 4200K being slightly redder. 5000K is fine.

Also, I prefer the slightly warmer colours (cooler temp - don't ask) around 4200K because it makes it a little easier to discern critters in this part of the world.

Cheers

Manage to dig this thread up and ordered myself a 55w 5000k set. Hope they'll make a big difference since riding in the dark is not fun with standard bulbs, especially on twisty bits

Discount code still works BTW, thanks for that! Is now 25% off.

that's what i have on the new bike and they are the doggyz doodaz. as long as you remember to set the beam pattern afterwords all is fine and no one flashes you

i completely ripped the wiring apart in the nose cone and made a new loom for the gear with a new 10 way OEM block so i can remove the nose cone when ever i like without having to mess around with other wires. everything apart from the +&- cables are in the nose but the +&- are in the new 10 way block.

Any chance you have a picture / more info on that custom loom? It looks to me that I may have to take the nose one out to fit them properly so any tips are greatly appreciated.
