After a couple way too close calls in Herts now I decided I’m not going to wait till my current regular H4s break to replace with HIDs but do it asap.
Are HIDs = HIDs, or are there notable differences between various brands/products? Which can ye recommend?
Before anyone says they are pricey… I know they are but they are decent quality.
HID50.com sells good quality HIDs, had mine for 3 years and all OK
removed…why…because I can
what bike is it for?
Some bikes (new shape fireblade) reccommend not to fit as it melts the light plastics! Be carefully and make sure decent cooling potential.
That’d be for the 55w’s, the 35’s should be ok in most bikes.
Edit: Especially a Fazer, which Gavin has epic HID’s in!

HIDs rock, defo make you stand out more at night, plus they light up reflective paint at a further distance, so handy for spotting rozzers
only downside is you look like a range rover…

i had some in BB was awesome until stopped working
went back to standard light is uber gay
getting new ballast unit hope is that and then let the good times roll
fzs thou
Just blasted a bit again through Herts, so I will get them asap.
the ones by Slipper1 are pricey indeed :blink:
as long as I see something nights, I don’t care if I look like a range rover
may even help in people making space more
good.
will probably order the ones from DanielGT’s link and see how they’ll be.
which reminds me, do I need to add relays or anything else before putting HIDs in?

That kit will have everything you need in it. I’ll send you the eBay link to that HID kit its more comprehensive and tells you exactly what you get
and they are now fitted… your bike does look funny now though I must admit
yeah, should’ve gotten 2 straight away, but I really thought they come in two, meh
Will get the other one next month or so

It’s annoying they aren’t clearer sometimes. are both your lights on at the same time?
both, aye, which makes it look a bit half-arsed, but oh well, don’t care, as long as I see the curves nights :Whistling:
