Default Hid kit?

Has anyone tried upgrading to a HID light in their scoot? I'd like to hear how you like it!

I have the 8000k HID headlight in mine and i really like it. I should have went with the 6700 k bulb tho as i like the whiter light more than the blue.

I have a 6000k and love it. Definitely recommend it! Plug-n-play and it all fits in the headlight bucket...

just put a 6000k in mine and its bright and the bulb is a whole lot cooler then a regular halogen since it runs 33w. Its nice cause the whole kit is plug and play and fits inside your headlight housing aslong as you use a slim ballast. Got mine off ebay its made by AGT its a very nice set up

Couple questions for those who have done this...

I see the bi-xenon bulbs have a reflector on them, my concern is fitment into the headlight itself with this reflector. My headlight is a sealed older model (1994) and Im just not sure that reflector will go into the bucket.

Are most people using this just for the low beam and not worrying about high?

I have bought a few "motorcycle kits" but the bulb did not fit in the housing.

the bi xenon is a high low beam bulb thats what mine is but when you switch it to high its a halogen instead of an hid only the low beam is hid. I think its that way cause of warm up time it takes a few seconds before the light gets to its actual brightness. As far as fitment goes mine is an h4 bulb and it fit right in the hole but the instructions said if it didnt you could drill the hole out to make it fit
