    Got a buddy of mine that did a lof of homework on this. This kit is made for motorcycles. It has smaller ballast then the other kits.
    It comes with a 15 yr warranty. He got the 6000 watt kit.
    We installed it tonite. Man all I can say is its super brite. I want one for my bike. Nite blindness will be gone with this headlight. And its legal.
    Its super easy to install . Plug and play
    I need kit #2

    We installed it in Zans Streetglide. He rode it tonite down the street.
    Man its a great light. very bright.
    I can git rid of my niteblindness with this light.
    Its the 6000 watt model.
    And when you put the light on high beam, its like a airplane coming in for landing.
    Zan , Ricky and me was there doing the installation
    Took 20 minutes.

    It will be a good upgrade,
    I did the 4300 model, it's whiter and closer
    to sunlight, higher the number closer it gets to blue.

    It will help big time...

    Dude got the 6000 model, it very low voltage. He wrapped it in foam and put it in his fairing.
    He heard there's no reason to go above the 6000.
    But he was talkin about the farther up you went the light started gittin blue.
    The chart shows that.
    When we 1st hooked it up it wouldn't burn. We found on the computer where it has to be reverse polarity and we had to reverse a plug and tie strap it so it would stay cause the catch wouldn't hook in place anymore.

    But light really opened up the nite.
    It made seeing super easy. I was impressed.

    The dude that bought this kit got the 35 watt model. And I see they've got a 55 watt model that even puts out more light. I couldn't imagine it.

    I got the Wolo Horn from Kuryakyn, I like it.'Seen the high intensity light on the bike in Kuryakys tent. I was impressed by it. But it was like 300.00

    I could spend some time in their booth.

    On the runnin lights , it has a 881L bulb.
    I got on the internet and cross referenced it and it said you could git a 894 bulb and it would be brighter.
    So we went to Auto Zone and got a pair of 894 bulbs and plugged them in.
    Yep they are brighter in the runnin lights.

    Take yer runnin light apart. Use a baggy and turn it inside out. Now you don't have to worry about touchin the bulb , which ain't a good idea as you know.
    the Oil on yer hands ain't good for em.
    See if yer bulb on the plastic ain't a 881L, if it is take it with you and git the 894clear tip bulb.
    They also have the 881L at Auto Zone. Look on the side of the package and it tells the rating between the two.
    And yes the 894 is the same bulb just a little brighter burnin man.
