lots of voltage!

 

How HID lights work
High Intensity Discharge Lights do not have a filament. Instead light is created from an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a micro-environment of xenon gas and metal halide salts. The light is emitted by an electrically energized gas -- a plasma discharge-- formed and sustained between the two electrodes.

HID lamps have over three times the lumens per watt of traditional halogen light sources and are more efficient at converting electrical energy into light. They produce at least 70% more light than traditional lamps, and use less power while producing less heat.

I can see a spot on the road in the middle of the day and at night it's actualy to much your eyes adjust to the light and when you look elsewhere it's hard to see. I guess it's fine for oncoming traffic because nobody has flashed me yet. I also have Sylvania Silverstar Ultras for turn signals, green SMT led dash bulbs and would love to get one of those KLR led tail bulbs someone posted on here. I'll admit it was a chore and expensive but I had fun modifying my bike and lights amuse me (Apprentice Electrician).

Almost forgot you asked for specs. http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

 

I already replaced mine with a sylvania ultra, if you want a brighter and whiter light.

 

+1 on Sylvania...I think it was a silverstar I replaced mine with...probably the best mod for safety in my opinion...lotta deer around my parts. (nad black bears)

 

+1.
I did the whitey/bluey rice burner, street racer look to the OE light. Works fine.
