Looking for Plasma white/blue headlights
I like the look of exotic cars and the xenon lights they have in them. I wanted to replace the current headlights with some that will give off a nice illumination with a hint of blue. Does anyone have any recommendations were I can buy them and any pics if you have them installed would be cool as well. My 06 is blue and I think those lights would make me more visible and inhance my bike's looks(like it needs it)

Do you have any suggestions as to which company? Does every HID kit(H9,H11) fit the ZX14? If not which ones does fit? Thanks for your suggestion

As long as they are h9 h11 they should work. Some have had problems with the cheap kits. Do a search for hid. FBA had a lot of info on the subject.
If you want to wait a few days, I will have a set to evaluate tomorrow. I'll be happy to give you my opinions and the supplier info after I have tested them in the 14. I had a set in my 12 and I'll never have another vehicle without hid headlights.

They all fit, but be prepared for a nightmare trying to aim them, since the highs and lows can't be separately adjusted. Cheap non HID Xenons will be easy to adjust, but don't offer the same exact look. During the day, HID's are awesome. no matter how bad they're aimed, but even when "properly" aimed, which is impossible to do without pointing the high beams straight up, offer useless lighting at night. To make them work correctly, you'd have to insert a shim between the bulb's base and the headlight socket -- and it's trial and error at that. You could probably get away with just installing a 1/4" shim on the highs only to bring them down lower and shim thickness will vary, depending on whether you go HID on the high beams or not. HID highs require more shimming than just doing the lows only.
