HID Conversion

I have straight up cheap China HIDS, I use them all the time, no issue at all.

Trip... that link you posted to the write up for 600rr had a link for the little 3rd light the guys there replaced with an LED... AT that link I found a little "delay" for the HID lights... so basicly it'd delay your HID's a couple seconds when you start the bike so your electrical system isn't being overloaded... any chance you have that link?

also... do you have any issues when starting your bike? or do your lights delay some themselves... (i've heard of this)

course, that's www.tripageled.com

T is a good guy, tell him I said hello.

I have never had a problem starting my bike with HIDs, of course only one of my lights is on when I fire up the bike.

No issues for me either.....the best mod I ever did to the bike too ! Wish I had some pics of them but I'm at work...maybe later.

question,are you guys talking just bulbs (HID look a like)or the complete HID kit complete with ballasts,relays and upgraded wiring harnesses?

Just a note,I found an actual complete German conversion kit for $40 on EBay. It comes with a 1 year warranty from a seller with over 16,500 sells and 100% feedback. I'll probably get it for my bike,so I'll let you know.

actual HID kits... not the look alike... the kit I'm looking at is both Hi/Lo for $265 or so...

it's two ballists, two bulbs, two relays and I don't loose my high beams...

I'll be installing it in September... can't fuck'n wait!

Yep...full plug & play kits ..."Bosche" ....spelling?

My kit came with plug in wiring harness...no splicing required & ballasts/ignitors combined . All of it fit nicely on top of my RAM air induction, just below the inner fairings. Best $200 I ever spent, the projector high beam throws bright "white" light ( no more yellow ) for what looks like a mile down the road.

Any hints on where you found this kit? I am thinking of something similar for my bike, but I wanted both bulbs changed.
