Look at Socalmotogear .com for hid's I did and wow what a difference!!

 

Truck Light

 

Truck Lite Series 7 LED. The difference is "night & day" compared to stock and half the price of the DayMaker.

 

Have you ever tried adjusting the headlights? When I bought my 2011 I felt the same way. Seemed like all I could see was about 30 feet in front of me on low beam. Finally cranked the adjuster and rised them up. I just kept making small adjustments one evening until I felt the low beam range was normal and stopped. Been there ever since and never get flashed by oncoming traffic.

 

Option: Try Harley's engine guard mounted driving lights.
Plenty of light for the price if you don't use lowers...

I put the driving lights on my RG in addition to the HIDs. When one of the bulbs burned out I replaced it with a brighter Xenon bulb. The additional heat made the reflector material come off the back of the light.

 

Im reviving my last summer thread.....

This quote (above) brings up a good point, is there any issue with over heating the lens or light surround.....
Im seriously thinking about trying some HID this season. I thin the best white light is the 6000k. but a couple of the vendors offer a 35w or 50w bulb, Is the 50w too hot....any suggestions.

and has anyone tried these in their front turn signals

The HIDs draw quite a bit of current to get the going, but once up to temperature the current draw drops off. Ya don't want these trying to fire up while you are starting your bike. Switch to the filament bulb, i.e. high beam for start up. I think the stock lamps are 55 watts so it shouldn't be a problem for the main headlamps. Just the driving lights can have trouble with to hot of a bulb.

 

35 watt is all u need for hid.
