Default Bi-Xenon Slim Motorcycle HID Kit

Any of you fellas use any of these kits to convert you headlamp? Here is a site I found, just looking for some feedback before I drop another 2 bills.

Try headwinds. I think they have one for $100. I wanna add because there is a guy at my work that has it on his bike and I can't even look at his bike when he is coming towards me. Its not a high beam type blinding. Its just bright enough for people to see you and light the road up.

For a headlight I would use a moving HID H-4. I use the ones you show for passing lamp type but converted with headlight 4.5" lamps. When you have a HID you would be unhappy with a Halogen hi beam.

You would also have a problem hiding the igniter (black box) and the length is also a problem in where to hide it. I have done several here for members and I think you are going to have problems.

I was wondering also about my FXST which is fairly naked in the front, if there is a spot to hide the HID box ? or if there is an HID maker that has a really slim small box ?

if you can find one for a Bike with the moving ballast, that would be the way to go. That little bulb does nothing but burn out quick. I would like to see one of these "kits" in person. I have a few hook ups with HID vendors. I wonder if these are just car kits split in half Maybe I'll buy one and find out. And slim ballasts are the latest craze for cars

Default HID for your bike

Of course you can make one. There are none on the market and that is the only way to get it. I have made many for this application and here is one of our members who posted his experience. It does take some time to make the wiring harness and a custom bracket to hold the ballast. I am not a fan of tie wraps or Velcro for ballast brackets

His bike, see no wires. there is just one black sleeve with 2) 18 ga & 1) 18 ga wires. You do not need to drill/re-drill your headlight for a large plug.
