PIAA Cross Country HID Lamp Kit 77082
$400 online
Whether you enjoy touring on road or off, our new PIAA Cross Country 2" HID lamp kit has you covered. With a machined anodized aluminum housing, hardened glass lens, multi-surface reflector, internal ballast and igniter and stainless fasteners, this is the most durable HID kit in the around! The smallest, most reliable ballast in the industry is a primary component of these outstanding, compact and powerful new PIAA HID lamps. Just plug and go! And with a 2" diameter they can be mounted just about anywhere. Approximate exterior dimensions of lamp housing (excluding stud mount): 2.5" dia. x 4" long These lights require more mounting clearance than the smaller PIAA 005 and 1100X driving lights. The PIAA Cross Country HID's have a 12 degree beam pattern, and range upwards of a 1/4 mile. HID lamps take about 10 - 15 seconds to "warm up" and come to full brightness when turned on. For that reason, they are best used in rural riding situations where you don't need to switch your driving lights on and off very often,also add an hid headlight kit

Do a search. There was an interesting thread on here a while back about a guy that was killed running one of those modulator lights and someone coming the other way thought he was the police and slammed on his brake. A gal behind him rear ended that guy and pushed him into the biker. He was killed instantly.
Just some food for thought.

In my MSF course, the instructor preached up an down about wearing hi-vis, neon green and orange riding gear from head to toe. Then proceeded to tell us that, while wearing all that gear, he'd been plowed over by a guy who turned in front of him and another person rear ended him in the bank drive-thru....both in the daytime.
Don't buy the best light setup thinking its gonna save you, buy what is best for what lights do...allow you to see in the dark.
