I had a local shop asked for me to turn on my high beams(I used hoen 4300 bulbs). When I did, they were amaze as to the brightness and beam projection.
Thread jack:
Did you have to upgrade your wire harness? I was thinknig of skipping the HIDs and just running the Hoen bulbs but wasn't sure if the wireing would be fine.

Stock harness is good for 55/65 watts respectively. The ZX14 harness can't handle more without eventually frying...

Just use ur own wiring with a relay... then the harness can handle about anything, up to the limit of the charging system-battery.

Good idear, hadn't thought about that. The Hoen bulbs pull 75 watts according to their website and I realy want to keep my bike as non-flammable as possible, lol.

Hate to ring up a old thread but which knob brings the headlight aim up? I need to make the HID throw light a little further down the road but unsure which one i should be turning. From my understanding the high beam cannot be independently adjusted.

Your right, the highs and low will adjust together. Take the air duct covers off and to the outside of each headlight socket you’ll see a 10mm head bolt....this will raise or lower the beams.

Look at your service manual(section 2-44 or page 73) and reference the procedures, aiming, and recommendations. If you have not already downloaded this manual to your PC, you can load it straight from the front ZX14.com screen(3rd line down, ZX14 manual and fiche - full parts PDF). This manual is awesome for references, upgrades, maintenance, etc...
