Im thinking about buying an HID kit this weekend and was wondering if anyone has already made the swap and maybe has any pictures of what it looks like and where to mount this box. IF no one has maybe ill make some kind of how to if you all would like that. let me know what you have or what u think.

Thought the light is pretty bright. Let us know if its brighter. Is this a kit specifically for the CBR?

 

[Bigwill2550]

yea the factory light is plenty bright enought but i really like that blue light the HID gives off. and not its not a kit for the CBR250R its a H4 Kit which is what our bikes use.

I bought a bulb for my Volusia that was supposed to have that blue HID tint look. Never ended putting it in.

Tint blubs are a joke... if there is an HID kit it should be just a slim ballast HID kit and just be plug and play since most HID kits these days are fairly simple and dont need much modifying if any at all..

i was about to buy one,but he only had the low-beam one,meaning it wouldnt turn high beams on if i wanted it to, he said it was bright enough to the point where i wont need high beams,and i told him well high beams are about distance lol..

but yeah the high-low beam set is more expensive.

I've done several HID conversions in the past. I usually would never suggest using them in a non projector housing though. On the bike I've been considering it as I have 2 extra ballasts and I'd only need some $12 bulbs. The site I buy them from carries kits for motorcycles (1 instead of 2 ballasts)

I highly dislike the blue ones though. A true HID is in the 4300-5k range not any lower or higher and it is a true white color.

You can get the high/low beam kit for about $40 for the 35w version. They have a 55w version but it could melt the headlight housing so I wouldn't recommend it.

Think of the poor other road useres, a HID in our style headlight would give out HEAPS of glare.
It would be so distracting to other the WILL want to run over you.

Get a nice decent branded halogen light like the Phillips ones

Bigwill, what wattage did you order?

 

[Bigwill2550]

i could not find the watts ill post it when it arrives. probably just 35w for how cheap they were.

This may be a REALLY stupid question (be gentle if it is), but can I use the H4 HID that I used in my car, and use it on the CBR?

 

[Bigwill2550]

i dont really know the answer to that question i dont see why not but i guess do it at your own risk.

 

[iLLiPiNo]

I'm gonna have to do some research on it, but I don't think there would be a problem! I'll let you guys know how it works out, if it does!

 

[DelSlo]

Be sure have have before and afters of the brightness...

 

[iLLiPiNo]

[DelSlo]
