HIDs versus OEM headlights

[Big Blue]

Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, but you can appreciate the difference.

WHen I had my 40 Rigid wired by my audio shop, they suggested I do the HID swap. He told me its a 30 minute install and would be $150 installed, so I said WTF...

Maxcar 6000k white HIDs. The light is very white compared to stock and appears to put out twice as much light.

Before and after:

Looks like it worth it.

Oh man, I have to do this! Where would you recommend buying the HID conversions kits from?

Ducati is selling incredible retrofit bi xenon headlights!

I like ducati's retrofit lights. I just put DDM tuning hid in my stock housings.

Are the high beams on?

Just don't use Xentec from ebay. I bought a pair of H.I.D. 6000K and they kept flickering and sometimes they wouldn't work at all. Then one day driving home at night they blew my low beam and high beam fuses. So if anybody knows of a good brand to try let me know. =)

DDMtuning has great prices on their HIDs. Should cost around $60 for a Bi Xenon set (hi/low beam). I wish i knew about them when i bought mine

Looks like a great alternative to the $1000.00 Bi xenon headlight retrofit.
