HID pics

Installed a true HID for the low beam and here's some pics. Easy installation ... maybe 1hr total. If I do end up adding a second one for the hi beam then it'll take longer cause I'll have to find a new hiding place. Geez, not much space to put crap on these machines Well, enjoy ....

awesome! i am planning to install one off a honda s2000. let me know if you do end up installing one on your high beam. if it blinds people i might end up not doing it.

With the low beam HID on you barely even notice when you flick on the high beam. So I might do some tweaking and see if I can aim it down a bit to keep from blinding peeps and adding the HID to it also. Prolly be a month or so til I do anything but I'll post pics if/when I do something else.

What was the cost for this conversion, and where from?

$239 from HIDexpress.

cool! looking forward to it!

did you try putting the ballast under the windsheild? Worked for my brothers R1. He fit two under there. Might be worth a try.

wow, that looks really good, nice work

Ya, when the other box gets here I'm gonna take the nose off and search for room. If there's not enough space in there I'll just mount the other ballast on the opposite side of the first and relocate the igniter to the nose frame on each side. The only tough part of the install is figuring out where to tuck everything.

Here's what it looks like with the 2nd installed. Adjusted hi-beam so it shoots the same as low. The hi-beam is a little different though but so far nobody's flashed me yet. Hid the ignitors under the faring -- you can barely see one of 'em.

Oh, the amount of light they put on the ground is just amazing

looking good man, looking good

Very nice! Hope to have mine soon.

are those 5000k or 6000k?

Much better locations for mounting. Out of the weather and 100% out of site.

Each Ballast & bulbs weight exactly 1.00lbs FYI.

Since the topic is HIDs I thought I would post up my setup.

The bike is a 954 with BMW e46 Bi-Xenons (high and low beams). The HIDs are ran by 2 ballasts that are located under the rear seat. The ignitors are separate from the ballasts and are located below each air intake (front sides of the tank).

The high beams are activated via the factory hi/low beam switch. In high beam mode the center halogen bulb lights up as well. I'm very happy with the setup.

Here is a pic of the finished product.
