All I can say is that I love my HIDs and I wouldn't go back to normal bulbs! I just ordered a kit for my girl's bike!

Worrrd. I put their 55w 5000k single bulb kit in my Aprilia a few weeks ago & hooooly SHIT that thing throws some light now!!!



OEM set-up on my bike was a single H7 low beam with dual H7s high beam.

Here's what all 3 look like now with the single HID low beam.




Doesn't look like there's much difference in output from that picture, but...

Stock Dual H7 halogen high-beams


Versus

Single 55w 5000k HID



Granted, these pics were taken with my cell phone and it MIGHT be a bit exaggerated, but the difference is still amazing.
Best 50 bucks I've spent by far (it was 50 shipped because I went with the 55w version instead of the 35.)
