I am about to order a new speedometer and HID headlight. I was thinking about getting the Trailtech Vapor and X2 HID light set up. If I were to get the HID light set up, what else would I need for my bike to run them properly? Stators?

X2 Kits at Trail Tech Home

 

Well, looks like I'm just going to go for it and I'll let you guys know.

 

so how did it go?

 

HID is sooo OldSkool these days..............trust me you want LED's!!!! like these (im in Aus but they are US I think):

Rigid Industries - the brightest, most efficient LED lights in the world - now available through Snake Racing | 4x4 Accessories, Suspension Kits and 4x4 Parts for your 4x4, 4WD vehicle

for example.....I dont know if you have seen LED light output but it floods "everything" in front of you. HID has great penetration but doesnt light up whole road in front like daylight...

 

Not street legal (I have an SF) and a LOT more money than HID.

But still -- nice find!

 

There is someone on the board that has this and really likes it.

KLX250 HID

 

HID lights are much brighter than any LED light.

 

What did they use for the housing behind the bulb? HID lights need a special kind of back ground.

 

It sounds like you haven't yet seen some of the current crop of LEDs.

 

None. This is just a direct relpacement for your existing bulb. There is no special background for the HID bulbs. Most of the HID systems that you see use the projector style lens which concentrates the beam a little better.
