HID Conversion? Sick of blowing low beams - Page 3

ebnelson · 01-02-2013, 09:31 AM

The OneOff HID kit throws light down the road for sure. I will keep it over stock halogen for sure. The stock reflector/projector does not keep the light from spilling to the sides and up enough compared to the road legal OEM units I used on four wheels. I haven't had cars flashing me so it can't be all that dangerous to other drivers. If I can put a HID specific projector inside the stock housing having it sealed and with proper connectors I may do it and sell the OneOffMotorsports kit on the marketplace. Otherwise I'll stick to the HID kit solution since I have plenty of projects already.

I have the DDM 55w on both. The low beam is good but VERY bright. The high beem is the same so VERY bright and lights up the world (literally).

If I had it to do over again and I probably will redo them with the 35w lights. It would be plenty of light IMHO.

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. DDM 35w, 4500K. Replaced the small pilot bulb with a LED 5v. Thing was pretty straight forward. Drilled the holes on the caps, took the fairing off, hooked the lights, tested, worked. Most difficult part was figuring out where to put the ballasts and putting the fairing back on. I totally recommend doing it!

They were great to deal with, and mine have been great for the little over a year I have had it.... But they have been having troubles, with their late kits, and perhaps that did them in. They charged enough for it though....
