ahh ok... didn't know they made an upgrade... yeah stock headlights... as far as I know... are all 55-65w. if you made the upgrade then yeah no advantage for you...

just wondering... but why the upgrade? I had the 35w on my ZZR and they're fuck'n bright as all hell. figure the upgrade would provide minimal light advantage but a lot more heat...

Under reference you can see the chart which shows the difference in lumens between the 35w and 55w upgrade on the 6000 kit. It is a difference of 3140 and 4800.

At time I literally figured the brighter the better. I don't want there to be a single fucking excuse for anyone to pull out and say they couldn't see me. That was my logic at the time.

interesting.... the ones I had were 4500k and 3400 lumins... but were bright as fuck... can't imagine yours...

what company is yours made by? I see apexcone... that's the same as mine... I ordered mine directly from Apexcone though... got a 15% discount for being military. talked to the owner directly via e-mail because of the fuckups with Xenonexpert.com (stay the fuck away from xenonexpert.com IMO)

It is Apexcone.

I got referred to that website from Apexcone if I recall correctly. I knew to stay away from Xenonexpert based on what you said so I went directly to Apexcone and just ended up at sharp somehow.

Looks up what my alternator would be cranking out and I was a bit confused as to which one is my alternator. I assume my "generator"?
