Boxeye Headlights- fitting additional lighting- 12V LED spots x2 or HID? - hopefiendboy - 29-03-18
Hi All
Another day closer to getting my FZS600!!
Its a yr 2000 Boxeye that has had the double headlight mod done on it, but even then I know that the lighting is not the best on these models. It will be fitted with engine bars and this will provide a handy mounting point for some auxilliary lighting. I was thinking of some 12v LED spotlights (have some for my MTB for nighttime riding and they are pretty decent) and just wondered it
A. anyone else had done this
B. What cheap Chinese LED lights they would recommend?
Or alternatively could install a HID kit to the bike.
Open to your experiences and suggestions!
Cheers
Paul

HID conversions will fail the new MOT regulations.

I am not sure that is correct for bikes, but it is for car.
Regardless of that, fitting the HID kit is the best way to get good light from the Boxeye. It is very easy to unplug and put a standard bulb back in the dipped side for the MOT if required too.

hid bulbs in a car have always been illegal as hid has to be self levelling , and the new mot regs make it illegal on bikes aswell you could go the hid projector conversion witch i have done and id a huge improvement
