Default Stock vrs HID ?

Hey guys just wanted you guys to see the diferrence HID makes, just had them installed about a week ago and its great specially at night you can wear and dark tint visor and still see perfectly with these helments, the only modifications done were drilling a hole in the light housing for the cables to come out custome mount the voltage regulators, and change teh head light fuse from a 10 amp to a 20 amp. here are pics of before and after .

do the HID bulbs alone make a noticable difference. This is one area I no little about and am curious... If they do where did you pick em up at and are they a direct replacement?

ryninger, I added the H4 style bulb only to mine. It has made a HUGE difference. I picked mine up on ebay for $45US (two-pack).

I got the top bulb on this link. The Xtreme White Plus: http://piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html

The difference is really quite amazing.

look around on eBay!! do a search just for H4 bulb, then look at the auctions...all of them!!! I JUST bought some for $11 shipped! and got some H7's for Ninja Honey's EX500 for $8....and yes they are new and sold in pairs.

Ive been thinking of getting new bulbs. How difficult is it to replace stock with a new H4 bulb?

Takes about 5-10 a bulb. All you do is take out a couple of screws holding the black plastic next to your tank off. Then its as easy as twisting open the light compartment and unhook the metal strap holding the light in place. Then just put in the new bulb(direct fit) andput it back together. DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB WITH YOUR BARE FINGERS OR IT WILL EXPLODE WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS!!!
