they're HID upgrades for your lights... just wondering...

Are those even legal on bikes? :scratch:

 

[ebbs15]

I don't know why they wouldn't be... I'm not sure what sort of law your thinking of... but as long as they're not in somones eyes they should be ok... no? or is there some law stating they can't be over a certain lumin?

on a side note I don't see a exclamer on the site about it being for off-road only... which I believe is required if there was a law against them... of course that would be comon sence and god know's that's failed me before lol:scratch:

 

[ShanMan14]

I only mention that because the site says:

HID-Conversion kits: Are for Show cars and Off Road use.

Maybe we should do a review on these?

The intensity is going with kelvins instead of wattage. 4300k is OEM (legal), off-road is 5200k and over (illegal on public roads). I'm not sure about the laws in florida, but in ohio, offroad lights must be covered while on public roads.

ok... I take that back... guess I was too busy looking at how they would work with a hi/low setup... so maybe they are illegal... :bas:

though they say they're the same as the ones sold in Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW... so dont' know why motorcycles would be required to have less... if anything... I think they should be alowed to have MORE... ANYTHING to help be seen!

Lets do it. Sounds good to me. Maybe they can send 2 sets. I will test one set for you. :dthumb:

 

[ebbs15]

I'm seriously thinking about it... mainly for my truck... but couldn't hurt on the bike... though up here there isn't much Darkness in the summer so it's probably better someone else be the ginnie pig...er... I mean reviewer :lol:

If you do, let us know what you think. As Shan said, we can do a review on them. :cheers:

 

[ebbs15]

I dont really understand the point of gettin an HID kit. I know they are alot brighter and all, but why not just change your headlight bulbs. i changed my stock bulbs to the sylvania silverstars, and i can tell a pretty big difference in them for only like $50. I think they burn at like 4000 lumens, and are plenty bright enough for me.

 

[ebbs15]

I have the silverstars in my truck... yeah they're bright as hell... but I've never had them last over 6months... I always loose one low beam.... then about a month later... the other low.... (happened durring summer so it was light enough not to have to use them other than as running lights) and at 25 a piece it's kind of pain... like I said I first got into looking for HID for my truck...

How does the silverstars hold up on your bike? how long you had them?

 

[gixxer127]

I just put them in my r1, and havent really had a chance to ride it much cause of winter. I had them in my gixxer, and never had a problem. They lasted for the whole time i had the bike (a little over a year).

I'll have to try them then... I really like them in my truck... other than the lack of life... :cheers:

I'm frequently on another R6 forum and this guy sent in pics of his Raven w/ the conversion at night. Those things look killer and imagine they function the same. www.highbimmin.com sells the kits for cheaper I believe. Tax season is around the corner. I'm thinking abut doing it. He can also make it so both headlights come on as low beam and the other set, high beam. Not sure if I want to invest that much in it though because I'm proly getting rid of the R6 this year sometime.

[ebbs15]

I'm dig'n this back up because I saw MOTV8 had HID bulbs in his sig... just wondering what you though of them... what kind you were using... and where you got them...


OHHH MOTV8!!:lol:

 

[Wockman]

A friend of mine has a HID kit on his busa, I joke sometimes that I get a sunburn on my neck when he rides behind me.

But seriously there is a HUGE difference at night between halogen and HID, when we are side by side...

The only thing keeping me from putting one on my bike is the $$ price tag.
