1 - dual 880 35W 6k color ddm

That is 3 HIDs on the front of my beast. Should look like the sun driving down the road.
As a frame of reference, my HID is 8k. It's blue, damn near purple.

That fucking bike is gonna look like day light coming down the road.

.
i heard-that when puttin em in a projector style headlight like the buells, u get a true color, as in your 8000k is supposed to look like that. but if you put the same 8000k bulb in a reflector style housing, the appearance in color becomes more like a 6000k. dont know why, but thats what i heard. it wasnt on ddm's site, but whatever site it was on also had what ddm was saying about how at 55w, some color gets washed out, etc etc basically exactly what gman said.

i wonder if i could put buells projectors in my headlight housing

I'm going to call them in abt 30min when they open and double check with Ebbs guy Paul.

I want some color but don't want it to look crazy. My main goal is optinum light with some color to increase daytime visiabilty.

They are not projector beams like in the XB, but should still be bright as hell.

I wouldn't do all 4, i'd keep the brights regular bulbs for flashing and for the wig wags when I get home.

and I don't care about blue. I just want bright.

Ebbs, you had 5500's in the ZZR right?

No Cutty you just order the correct bulb in a single. One kit.

And I spoke to somebody at DDM just now. He agrees with my logic. He also says that none of theirs are ever that blue. They are typically more white than other brands.
