Default Re: HID lights (sm0kimOn)

Mr. Smokimon,

I installed the kit in my BMW K1200LT - there was plenty of room over the headlight to mount the ballast. I went with the Phillips 4000K kit because I didn't want to project a blue or purple bulb - I put a lot of miles on this bike and don't want to get a fixit - or stand out any more than just having a bright white headlight. That's why I stayed away from the 6000K bulbs.

HID's are ILLEGAL if not originally installed. I'm surprised that motowheels is selling them because a couple of guys I know quit carrying HID conversion kits because they could be nailed for selling them.

The installation - from Phillips, was unplugging the line to the headlight, plugging that into the relay, running wires from the relay to the battery, and placing things. No cutting and splicing. True plug and play.

And since Philips makes their own bulbs - and they have the money and experience to do it right....they work real well.
