    Got a Screaming Eagle dual Bulb headlight. Installed it in the bike.
    Ordered a Xenon bargains two bulb H9 6000 HID xenon headlight.

    Here is a video of the headlight showing the Se headlight and all during the daytime.
    Will post it at nite with the light on later.

    O.K. here's my video of the SE dual bulb headlight kit.
    I've got a xenon HID dual bulb, 35 watt 6000 K with both H9 bulbs in the bike, and I have the 894L running light bulbs in the running lights.

    Another reason I didn't go over 6000K
    They are on the edge of white and blue
    Draw very little voltage
    Each bulb is powered by a balast
    I'm tired of not being able to see at nite real good
    Ask chuck, think he's had a little trouble too

    I like all the light at night I can get, that's why I wired my spots to stay on when the brights are on. Brighter bulbs makes a huge difference. The stock one just throw em away. Good job ;)

    LED will be brighter and 100 times easier to install, it goes in stock, no ballast, no wires, no special connections..

    HID is nice but the LED is JMO better when you see them side by side.

    Cars will be going LED not HID full time because they are bright, and can be done in any design or shape... Plus they pull even less power than HID.

    I have HID's on my RG and when LED comes out, I'll swap them out then.

    BTW Cardboard sounds exactly like he types LOL

    I didn't say they were bad, just don't mess with them. I have had a lot of friends who are both, I am a transplanted one myself. Born and raised in LA (lower Alabama) Northern Florida in the panhandle. If you ever get into a fight you would want both of them on your side.
