HIDs versus OEM headlights

[Big Blue]

Are the high beams on?

No! ha ha. I thought the same thing when I was taking the pics and even went back inside to double check!!

I did not buy through this site, but at least it gives you guys some good info.

The key is aiming these lights... I spent a lot of time aiming them, readjusting, aiming, readjusting, etc... To get the beams to "mate" as well as having them the perfect height to NOT irritate the crap out of oncoming drivers. I can say with 100% honesty, that I haven't been flashed ONCE since installing and adjusting properly.

I put DDM's Bi-Xenons in mine. Other than sending me the wrong color bulbs they work great. I'm not real happy with their customer service but there aren't a lot of people that make the Hi/Lo setup for a decent price. The light pattern is great for a reflector housing.

For someone who hasn't ever done this before, what all is involved in switching your headlights to HID?

Is it newb friendly lol?

I did not watch them do it, but it only took them abour 30 minutes. They did have to remove the headlights and open them. Aside from the new lights there is also some kind of balast to prevent flickering. After the install, from the outside, you cant even tell a difference..until you turn them on.

Found this on utube for ya;

If you check out Ducati's retrofit thread the install video will be virtually the same for stock housings. The only difference is the bulb style and the high beam wire... Not saying you should use it as a guide to install, but will give you an idea on what is required. Like big blue did, you can go to any audio shop and they will be able to install them for you. Considering factory HID setups are $1000+ $150 is crazy cheap!

and the $150 was the installed price!

When I install my HID's this weekend, I'll try to get a video of the install.
