Re: HID ballast kits info
They are the 6000k. I got the Xetronic Digital kit from here...http://www.xtralights.com/xetronicdigit ... ingle.aspx
Now they have the G2 version, which is even smaller. I also got the bi-xenon option and got two of course.

Re: HID ballast kits info
Why are they so expensive?.. There are pairs of Hi/Low H4 HID kits on eBay for half the price..vfrman wrote:They are the 6000k. I got the Xetronic Digital kit from here...http://www.xtralights.com/xetronicdigit ... ingle.aspx

Also, is that an NC30?... Will it be hard to fit HIDs in my NC35?
Do they provide you with alot more vision?

For the NC35, I would go with something like this..

They are small enough to fit in there and attach to the H4 socket, so a little modding may be in order.

Yay!

Anything over the pathetic yellow glow of the 35/60w standard bulbs can only be an improvement...
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n61/ ... C04230.jpg
Kit is straightforward - Run a wire from the battery + to the red lead, connect the earth lead to the righthand or lefthand top rediator mount, fold the tabs back on the bulb adaptor and fit along with a H4 adaptor plate (USA ebay),
fit the rubber cover then twist the bulb into place.
Mount the ballast under the headlights on the nosecone, snap all the connecter's together, and bingo - Bright Light.

Oddly enough as many are lead to believe that i have some weird fetish with LEDs. i no longer have any under lighting on my bike as i "grew out of that" 6+ years ago, yes i still have my LED rear lights and one day i will redesign them.. i also work in Electronics so i see LEDs every day.. lol
Mate with a Busa yesterday was raving on about his new under-lighting and how good it looked. the only comment he got from me was "old news" been there done that before you started riding bikes! hehehehehe his face

I'm commuting on the bike at the mo, anything to get me seen by bleary car drivers at 7am can only be a good thing... besides the LED strips are like a quid each?? Rude not to! Best sidelights I ever had...
