    No !

    I have 35 watt that puts out 6000 K and I have a high and low beam. About 3.2 amps

    and I took the 881L bulbs out of my running lights and put 894 clear tip in,that way I went from 25 K to 37.5 k on just my running lights.

    Will put my lights and draw on juice against yers and the brightness between the two.
    No more yellow light.:D

    Go in yer kitchen and take the soft white lights out and put daylight bulbs in and tell me the difference.........

    Thanks,

    Dunno man.

    My buddy ordered like 4 sets, I came up with a set, ain't even paid him yet.
    And I got no idea who makes them. Tried to ask him who they was made by, He's gave me 2 different names. KNow the headlight is a Bixenon and is suppose to be 6000K. And has high and low. I just use low beam.
    It has a Zantex ballast. I like the Xenon Bargins cause you can git the smaller ballast and lifetime warranty.
    If I can git more info I will post it.
    He has the Xenon Bargins.
    YOu need the #2 in the Xenon Bargins setup I think. Email them and ask if its a Bi Xenon setup.
    Go to Google and google up BiXenon and go to Ebay and do some homework.
    If'n I find out more I will let you know.
    But you do not want one that has a quartz light next to it. Draws too much current. YOu want one that draw like 3.2 amps.
    And you need to put the 894L clear tips bulbs in the running lights now.
    Go to Auto Zone and look at me. You should have the 881L Blacktip in yer bike now. Take the bulb out and look, but don't touch it. Look at the numbers on it.

    No, I still have the sealed beams for driving lights. Been going to change them out but haven't got to it yet. Now that's it's winter and I drive more in the dark than light I need more light.

    Thanks,

    I always wished for a brighter light when riding in the mountains at night. Next time, I'll try this too.

    The BiXenon set up is pretty easy to install.
    Run one wire to the + on the battery, run one wire to the - on the battery. and everything else is Plug and play.

    No cardboard "sealbeams" I'm not sure when they went to the halogen bulbs in the running lights. So I have to buy the conversion kit and then get the bulbs you suggested.

    This looks just like the BiXenon light I have not with the H4 bulb. Not for positive. But mine has the Xentex Ballast and the Bixenon bulb. You only use one side of it. Tape the other side up.

    This one is the xenonfactory on Ebay
    Its a 25watt 6000K bixenon bulb
    I've heard the higher priced are the better ones. But for this price it will tell you about the bixenon light.
