Just dropped my bike off at Sportbikelites.com and they're installing their new HID headlight kit. Can't wait to see it done and compare with FloppyZebra's LED kit. Here's a link to the kit I'm getting w/8k bulb.

SPORTBIKE LITES GROM HID CONVERSION KIT

lookin good.

8k is going to be almost purple lol

 

[WoodLow]

I ran 8k lights in my car and it was a night white right before turning blue at 10k. Here's a chart for the temp/color differences.

fancy headlight brooossssss

 

[Big Chris]

Ive always had good results with 6k they were white

 

[Cpt. Joe]

'Tis a good looking headlight. Is that gonna be blinding to on coming traffic? I never knew about the difference in temperature making different colored headlights. Very interesting.

 

[Lozonic]

Not a fan of anything more thank 6000k its just too blue and purple for me. 4300k hids would be good if you want white and 6000k for a hint of blue.

For the OP, they look good though.

fancy headlight brooossssss

Not as fancy as yours

I hate the light output you have, 4300 is what I would get, any bit of blue pisses me off and any oncoming traffic. Plus these need to be in a projector or else it's just shooting light everywhere.

My headlight was done today. HID kit is awesome! Couldn't tell until tonight the difference in light and it's great. Didn't ride much, sick and crawled back into bed. Will have update with more pics and video soon. As much as you guys complain, I couldn't care. This is elephants balls loads better than stock. You can choose any temp bulb you want.

Get better on your sickness, flu season is around, been washing my hands like crazy esp at the gym.

Just ordered my HID kit from Bombay, $50 to my house. Same setup as for my 99 Kawi ZX6R, high beam is yellow.

Thanks Cisco, I should have video at least by Tuesday. FloppyZebra and I are planning to go out to Orlando for a Ruckus/Grom meet.

Even my BMW factory system isn't running over 6000K. I can't figure out why people want less usable light to be projected by their headlights, especially on a bike. You have one light. Why make it dim?

All the negativity makes me sicker. Don't even feel like updating this BS

someone's gruuuuuumpy

negative people are like FLIES they eat shit and bother people.

Live life with a smile, you get laid more often and get treated better in the real world.

I thought (and mind you I'm not the most informed person) that for an HID to work effectively you needed a projector? Like I said, maybe I'm mistaken but going along with the projector idea, any idea if this would work with the Thai headlight?

Regardless, definitely like the setup.

Hey Woodlow, did you have to use a relay for the hid to work?? Or is the bulb working with just a swap for the old bulb?

Pretty sure a relay is used and it sits just like the stock bulb and blasts light all over the place lighting up everything.

Yea, I was a bit grumpy from being sick all last week.
If anybody is interested in the kit or even thought to look at the website they'd see it is offered with a multitude of choices in light temp.
