88lx5oh Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 so i went ahead and ordered a HID kit form DDM tuning aka apexcone (BMW guys supposedly rave about them) didnt take long for the kit to arrive, and was shipped, and packaged well. install was pretty straight forward, and simple as well. just had to find a place for the ballast. i got a H7 5000k slim ballast kit. these things look great, takes only a few seconds for them to fully heat up, and they are very bright! and look great in the stock projector housings. here is where i put the ballast at. behind the speedo. stuck great with the supplied double sided tape that came in the kit. my windscreen covers them up so you cant see them after the windscreen is on. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370672.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370673.jpg i had to drill a hole in the plastic dust cover for the wires to come through. the harness for the HID lights came with a nice rubber weather proof grommet to fit nicely in the hole you drill. all the other connecters are weather proof as well. the air duct covers, cover what little mess of wires there are up, and makes for a nice clean install. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370674.jpg here is a pics of just the low beam on.. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370697-1.jpg and here is with low/hi on.. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370698-1.jpg front shot of both headlights on http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370701.jpg and a few more pics for enjoyment http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370710.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370712.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370714.jpg and why not throw in a pic of the new zero gravity double bubble windscreen http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370708.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think HID are GREAT for bikes, they make you a little more noticible in the day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think HID are GREAT for bikes, they make you a little more noticible in the day too. exactly why i wanted them, little more safety during the day, and ALOT better night riding.
