Want a new set of headlights?
Ok, we were talking about headlights in another thread. I suggested some APC headlights that I've used in my bike for years. Well of coarse, as soon as I start talking about them the low beam on one of the lights goes out.
But, anyway, I found out that for some reason they aren't making them anymore. They have something named the same thing but the bulbs aren't near as blue meaning that when you put them in, they still give off a yellow hue, not birght pure white. And they're only 60/45W
So I called a buddy of mine that is in the sport compact scene and asked him what's up. He suggested this brand..
Eurolite
Xenon Crystal Bulb
100/80W....
They look awesome. Not too mention that they were way cheaper. $22.95 plus tax. Got them at a local vechicle assecory shop. Same place you would order a spoiler for your honda or a set of vent visors for the wife's SUV.
Found them on Car Domain.com for $14 which is stupid cheap.

These are my new favorite.
I tried some other things at the auto store, Sylvania Silverstars, and they were junk.
Here's a pic of my set...

Hope this helps out some of you wanting a better looking light and more light output!

I have an HID out of a BMW 5 series wired up on my Aprilia. Several of my riding buddies have this setup and we retain our high beams (mine just aren't as bright as the lows). Some of us have HID high beams too. The only reason I don't have my high beams done is that the Aprilia has two bulbs for high beam, and one for low. I don't feel like finding room for two more transformers and two more igniters.

Those are the ones I have in the R6. After it took me like 45minutes (the first time) to switch the shield from clear to dark tint, I couldn't take it off at night. So I went out and bought the bulbs cause of riding at night. They make it look like daytime IMHO at night even with the dark tinted visor.
