Hey all, I was looking around on line today, and I saw HID conversions for H4 bulbed headlights. These were not the HID look alike blue halogen bulbs, but a real HID system that fits in the H4 socket on your car/bike. The benefits would be brighter light with only 35w use in stead of the 55w low beam. The problem is price, they come in sets for cars, so you get two, but the price is around $400(usd). Anyone try them? Anyone willing to go halvsies on a set with me to try? Just looking into the possibilities right now, but I am very interested. Fireman Ed A17 <---want's brighter light and more available electricity

You probably can't go halfsies since it will only come with one ballast. In the stock KLR reflector it probably won't do much. Better off buying and mounting exterrnal HID driving light(s). Riley A15 Montreal

one is for me and the other for you. They go in the headlight where your current light is. I also have been looking at HID driving lights since they are super bright and only use 35w, but they are $$$$$ also.

I *hate* those things, or similar chips with that stuff in/on/around them. My wife buys (those) chips and I usually get in the bag later in the evening. When the first 'gut-buster' hits I KNOW what they are. By then, it's too late.... At 12:42 PM 3/10/04 -0000, James L. Miller Jr. wrote:

I made the mistake of riding in front of a BMW with one installed. It was like riding with the sun in your rearview mirror. With the exception of that one time, he lead the rest of the trip. VERY BRIGHT! If you can make it fit, do it. millerized
