    Hi Eric, I thought these were illegal unless the headlight and particularly the reflector was made/designed for HID. Also on cars the headlights need to be self-levelling and have powerwash.

    Did hear something but not sure what's the politics.
    My man Gary that you met at yours is running on them on that V-strom and he says "oh just follow me!" Yeah right, now that can get hipnotic and you loose the bearings of where the road edges are when your fixated on the nutter in front. Anyway the Chinese needs even more candle power whilst we're on.

    Have you thought of using some "Nightbreaker" bulbs? Std. wattage but up to 120% more light. I think it's Osram that make them.
