birdie_xx Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Not sure if these HID's are any good, but found these links on another forum and thought that prices sure went down..... (or maybe I'm out of the loop ?!) Just in case someone is looking...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Xenon-HID-C...069451029QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-XENON-C...065133482QQrdZ1 Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Prices did go down. I am selling them here in Holland, and I've sold about 30 pieces for Blackbirds for about $ 115,-- They are great, much improvement to the standard lights....

MileHi Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The one thing to seriously consider is that these are the kits with the exciter/ballast in one unit. Therefore the ballast is quite a bit larger that the ballasts with the separate exciter. I originally had a pair like that and replaced 'em with the kits that that had the separate components as it was much easier to mount them behind the dash.

W11AED Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I installed an Interpower X5 HID unit in my 2000 model year Blackbird and have been very pleased with the result in light output. Yes they are brighter than ordinary Halogen bulbs, but I think the difference in colour is what gets you noticed in daylight ridng. The percentage of car drivers moving over or making room is definitely higher. I joined up with a friend (Martin) who has a carb Blackbird a couple of years older than mine to buy a set of two units intended for car use. The price per unit was less than any single bulb kit we could find. His were an easy fit as that bike has much more space behind the headlight unit. The ram air ducting on the injection type takes up a lot more space on my bike and I resorted to hanging the ballast/exciter from the bracket which supports the inner fairing trim panels. Incidentally we decided not to use HID for the main beam/pass light, because HID's take a second or two to reach full brightness, the life of the bulb is also seriously shortened by frequent switching on and off. We made no other changes to the electrics, retaining all the Honda plugs and wires so a switch back is possible, but very unlikely. The power consumption is lower at 35 watts compared to 55 for the H7 Halogen original, so all fuses are original too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
