Not fused at all the way they come?

I have a 6000K kit as my high beam and a 3500K super yellow kit as my low beam. I have been running them for about three years without issue.

Most kits have a bladed relay that you plug into the bulb socket in the stock harness.

Here is what they look like head on:

I hate those HID's blinding me. I would never dream of doing that to someone else.

I had a set from Harbor Freight with no problems. HID's are worth less if your lens dont project them correctly. Yea they'll be brighter but nothing like looking at a road with non-lighted lines all over the place.

If you want light output then stick with 4300k - 6000k. Of course each companies light output is different.

I got a kit for 120 about a year ago. Came with 2 10,000K bulbs. Only downside is that My bike uses the same bulbs for high and low beams, so I just set them both to high, but adjusted them to where they aren't too high.
