That's very nice. Could you share with the rest of us what manufacturer name and model number is of the wonderful HID lights you purchased for your numerous motorcycles?

Thank you,

Installing HID bulb in a halogen housing is:

I L L E G A L and D A N G E R O U S!!

You can put yourself in danger by blinding oncoming traffic..

 

HID conversion kits for on road use are illegal...........period.
If you don't believe me just ask the people here that sell them.
They blind oncoming traffic and are an excuse for the HP to pull you over...
There are NO (NONE!) conversion kits that are DOT approved.
There ARE some companies that make DOT HID approved lights..........

please STOP trying to talk people out of something they want to do... no body cares what your opinions are... the op wasn't asking if they are safe or legal...

to the op check ebay...

 

Using a HID conversion in a halogen design headlamp can be blinding and offensive. You might as well drive with you brights on. Each housing is designed for a specific bulb which has a specific filament burn location. IF YOU WANT A HID KIT, BUY A CORRECTLY DESIGNED HID KIT which includes a proper designed reflector for a beam pattern of that HID light source. JWSpeaker sells one. It would be a shame to get your bike impounded or get pulled over and harassed for something you can control.

 

Legal or not, a properly adjusted headlight, HID or not, will not blind other drivers. Check you service manual for adjustment techniques.

 

This!

And thanks joe! Something else i'll end up buying from you.
Joe, will you post pics of the Harley's with your kit please?

 

One thing you’ll want to keep in mind when selecting a headlamp is the compliance with standards (e.g. FMVSS) does not guarantee a good beam pattern for driving. It is one thing to place light at specific points in order to meet a standard, but it is considerably more difficult to design a light that meets the standard and has a good beam pattern. Why go old technology of HID? Just go LED.

 

Whatever you are using, if it looks right, keep using it. If not, get rid of it! K.I.S.S

Jeez, this is turning into,an oil thread!

I'm done.
