I just did an HID conversion on my Aprilia, and I ASSURE you, it had NOTHING to do with looks. The light output is in a whole other universe. The same can be said for my buddy who owns an 1125R with an HID

The HID was THE best mod I've ever done. Riding at night on the Buell was honestly dangerous with the stock bulbs. Do some research, they are some of the worst lights on the market. The HID was an amazing improvement. I can see soooo much.

Yeah I remember you talking about them... I'm thinking of putting a XB front end on my bike... but will be going HID with them for sure.

when I got the HID's for my ZZR and for my RR... I honestly didn't even think of "looks" other than from the stand point if DAMN I'VE GOT MY OWN SUN!

if I was after looks I'd be going with something more 8kish.. the blue or purple...

I remember riding to Indy last year (08) and there was a huge fucking truck with PURPLE HID lights... mother fucker that truck was annoying... he was pulling bikes so he had to get right behind us and try to keep up (must be a rule I'm not aware of, that when you have a bike, you must keep up with every bike you come across... even when towing your bike)

talk about distracting!

going to anything above 4500k w/ HID is about looks, HIDs are a vast imp. over reg. bulbs. and i have 4500k

4500k with a 35w or 55w?

Cuz 55w washes out some of the color. My 5000k 55w is VERY white. Hardly any blue at all.

RACER X · 12-07-2009, 11:51 AM

4300 = best light output, and going w/ 5k isn' that much diff then 4300, it's people 8k+ and/or purple output. they are loosing the light output to get "that" color.

OreoGaborio · 12-07-2009, 01:23 PM

Agreed. Just wondering if you thought I was a poser for getting 5000k
