Oh yeah baby, I am on full speed question mode right now.
To be honest I just figured out how to access the site at work. ![]() So no matter what I do when I get back to Atlanta, I was thinking that an HID kit would be a great mod to the bike. First off, the visibility is greatly improves. Secondly, more people will see me in traffic. And lastly I think it always makes a nice touch on any vehicle/bike. Now I realize there are hundreds of cheap ebay kits I could go with, but are there any reliable brands that I should look into first? I realize that this will mean I will need to find a place to mount the addictional with a HID kit. Any good places to know about? I am concerned with visibility over color, but if a preference were possible I would like a very white color. What K am I looking for? Thanks as usual ![]() |

Around 4500-5000 will give you the "white" light.
They are really bright, when ebbs followed me, it was like someone turned on the sun again! ![]() The kit he has is really straight forward, don't overthink the install, most are plug and play. it is on the winter "to do" list for the 1125. |

Do I want just one bulb? I figure it would be best to have the dim as my HID and keep my bright stock so that I can flash my lights quickly when I need to.
Good assumption? What about a ballast upgrade? I saw that listed on the sight as well. The apexcone site seems a bit hard to navigate around but I will look into it. Thanks for the site Ebbs! Last edited by Quick281; 10-04-2008 at 12:13 AM.. |

the customer service at apexcone was fucking top notch... they gave me a 10% military discount too... like Cutty said... the install was plug and play... since you have two diffrent bulbs for hi/lo it's up to you... I think most people just do the low... but Trip I believe did both... so you can ask him about the delay. the quality was awesome... those lights are FUCKING BRIGHT... I went with the whitest... 4500 I think... |

Goddamn. Every time I read these HID threads I think of white balancing. FYI....5600k is daylight temperature.
