my 2 cents
go for the highbeams
here is why

HID is way brighter than ur highbeams
so keep the low beams when u r in traffic going SLOOOOOOw
so u dont tick others off
also if a cop gives u hard time--just flip the low beams on

this way u give urself options

those things R F-ing BRIGHT
my buddy has 2 in his 636
dam see him for miles at night on the highway
he is behind--remember he has 600cc bahahahha
send us pics dude
:corn

 

High beams!:fact :beer :beer :beer

 

Only thing that sucks about putting them in the high beams is I realy won't be using them at night then. I rarely use the high beams at night. I do use them during the day though.

 

If they are true HIDs, put them in the low beams, as it is bad to switch them off and on real quick. HIDs take a while to heat up, and actually light correctly, that's why cars use them for low beams, and normal halogens for the highs. They burn out quicker if they are flipped on and off quickly.

 

where did you get them from and how much did they cost?

There's a guy selling a few 04 R1 HID kits on the forum. $250.

who!!

 

Use them in the low beams. Like you said get some use out of them.:thumbup

 

these bikes have high beams????

J/k those 4 lights blaring drained my batt one day when I switched the bike off for like 30 seconds, never put on the high beams again.


I say out them in the low beams, or one high one low, that might actually be cool.

 

maybe i am missing something here
if you put them in the highbeam-at least you have control when u want them on
Yes-in the daytime ride with them on-better visibility
now u have the option for night riding withour driving others crazy
and brining attention to yourself
i.e . car 1 to car 2--you will see him comming a mile away-cant miss the headlights-book him Danno

one way you have control of when they are on---one u dont

 

I would put them on low beams. for $250 they probably aren't real HID lights. Those cost in the 1000's

Are HID's illegal?

HID's turn night into day, why would you want to use them in the day, you don't need light.

I say USE THE hid's as you main, nighttime, primary driving lights.

Why the hell someone would put them in their high beams is beyond me. No offense to anyone, but if your;e going to do that, save yourself 200 dollar sand get hyperwhite bulbs.

You don't need lights in the daytime, so it's a waste, and in the nighttime, when you could use that SUPERbright, day giving light, you won't be able to because they're DEFINITLEY too hight to use at night on the high beam, PLUS you cannot flash them, they have to warm up, and On/Off is NO GOOD with HID's.

Also I forgot to see what year bike you have but if youhave an 04, the beam is So defined, it's not going to matter what light is hitting them, it's bright.

I use my high beams during the day. I want to be seen by cagers.

Don't know. It's the same kit that everyone here buys that they spend like $300+ on.

 

who!!

pm me

 

Arrhhgg.


Still debating on what to do :dunno

 

i have mine in the low beams and they do need time to warm up. switching them on and off might damage the ballasts and ignitors. either way, hid's :rock ! i had piaa extreme white bulbs and the difference is amazing. good luck deciding.

have any pics?

 

i'll take some pics tonite and post them later. there's also a member that installed his kit into his high beams. his name 180hpr1 or something like that. use them to compare, then decide.

 

Yeah, saw that thread. I'm leaning towards the low beams I think.

Where are you getting this information from?? I think you better double check that..:2bitchsla

 

I agree for 250 they better not be any kind of halogen

Not sure what you guys are talking about. They're H7 HID's.

 

I really don't know, but I thougt H7 was a normal halogen bulb size. H7 HID is true HID? :dunno

 

They are real HID lights, but they don't use projectors which would be a whole
new ballgame. I can't wait to install mine.50,000K super xenon trenon rainbow white :rock
