Curious
Hey motorcycle family! I was wondering if there are weight gains or weight loss by switching to HIDs?
I'm considering the 55 watt 6000 low beam and not sure on the hi beam, but it will be a higher number than the low beams.

I just adjusted my lights up on both my busa and 14 and it was like getting new lights. Huge increase in night vision....and I did it without blinding oncoming traffic. If you spend a little time adjusting both the highs and lows its WELL worth it The stock lights are good......just aimed too low.

I wish you had some vid on you making adjustments! Some before and after pics would be sweet too! Can we see what they look like know?

Onlyu way to go DDM tuning hid kit, 40.00. I like the 35 watt 5000k or 6000 k. Huge difference and I don't care how you adjust your stock lights they do not compare and I never get flashed by on coming traffic.

Bently! Do you recomend the 5000k for the lows and 6000k for the highs or get 5000k for both high and low or 6000k for both?
