Ok, its an H7 bulb, but is the temperature range 3000k - 12000k?

Mine is 6000k. They offer the 3000k Yellow, then 5000k, 6000k, 8000k, 10,000k, and 12000k.

Was it a "bike" kit or just one bulb/ballast/ignitor/etc. from a car kit?

Thats bright as hell. Even though people still wont see you coming.

Yeah, I'm interested in what you had to install. The entire kit I would assume? $300-500? how much, looking good man. Are you going to put a HID high also?

For the two last reply's... no, it was not a car kit. It was motorcycle specific. The car systems are much larger in the ballast and ignitor systems. The motorcycle ones are designed smaller to fit in our tight areas, along with the wiring too. As for the price, was not even close to $300. I paid from the distributor I bought from, $199.99!!! And that included free shipping.
If you guys would like some more pics of the areas I installed it, let me know. There's not too many places, but I came up with what I thought would be best, and works well so far in the placement of the ballast and ignitor. Yes, I will be purchasing next the HID kit for the high beams as well. But the 3000k kit, since its a awsome yellow HID... which will be superb at night.

I see you have a 2/1 pipe. What is your opinion of it? I have read about performance problems with them.
