Default Installed XE7r HID conversion

I work rotating 12 hr shifts so I'm either going home at 0430 or going to work at 0400 every day. I've been wanting more light since I pcked up my Streetglide a couple years ago. This really was an easy installation(didn't need to remove fairing) and the difference in light was worth the price tag. If anyone else decides to do it the instructions that come in the box are generic. You can get a much better set online at Kuryakyn's website.

The only thing that was kindof a pain was the allen bolts seemed to be mixed between metric and standard heads. It could have been the plating possibly but I ended up buying a metric allen set to do a couple. Not a big deal though...

So this kit is a Lo and Hi beam lamp all in one. It looks nicer then the H-D HID with the dual bulb set up that I'm running and as for cost its at least $100 bucks less expensive.

I think its a deal, want a trade?

Not to throw mud on a sponsor but Daniel's HID system is awesome,.. I used it on my 07 JK wrangler and there is a world of difference..!!

Also a lot of good info on the diff between US and European driving lights and laws, light values etc.

Well worth reading if nothing else..!!!
