headlight bulbs

(17-08-12, 10:06 PM)cable tie link Wrote: Hid kit 35w H4 high/low beam I've got a set but form Hids direct they do slim ballasts and the correct high/low bulbs and 6k looks awesome, also the latest kits Hids direct do come with the cap over the bulb to prevent dazzling oncoming traffic.
Trouble is when fitting HID bulbs to a "reflector" type headlight unit like the one in the fazer is the all the side scatter, which will dazzle other traffic and why it wont pass an MOT.

FYI. with regard to HID kits as of next year there will be fully illegal not just a grey area like it has been for the last few years. If you still want to fit a HID kit then your best of getting a pair of projector driving lights and retro fitting HIDS into them. The beam pattern will be far superior (I have them on my bandit) and if you wire in an auxiliary switch it wont effect the MOT, but technically the police may still have an issue with it. This is because the rules state you need projector based lights as well as self leveling suspension (and no bike I know of has the latter)

Another option which is perfectly legal is LED driving lights, they draw next to no power but the price is a bit steep -
