**Scroll down for night time pics...sorry I didnt get artsy with these**

Just some fooling around outside my house-






6000k Hids in the daytime-


Located under the gauge cluster-






Notice is a nice purple white with plenty of light even though both lights are angled down....

Nice pics, and bike! Like the 2nd one with the pink sunset!

 

What about night time pics? Where did you mount the ballasts? What bulbs does the F4i use? H7? Wow, that's a lot of questions.

 

H7 bulbs, ballasts are under the cluster. Ill take more pics tonight-

 

nice pics and clean bike. requesting nite pics tho.

what kinda of hids are they? kit or retro?

edit: nevermind - h7 are nice!

 

Do you have any issues with the HIDS drawing to much power at start up or anything? I have a car kit that I was thinking about putting on my bike, not sure if it's worth the hassle though. Especially since I never ride at night

 

Looks good man how does the micron exhaust treat ya?

Umm it starts up just fine. But my highbeam tends to blink at initial startup. After that its fine though. Ill also let you guys know how they work 6 months from now.

 

beautiful, i wish your bike was my bike

 

Gorgeous bike, awesome work.

HID's draw 35w where the stock halogens pull 55w. Mine were always fine on startup.

 

Cool, for some reason I thought they would draw more power than stock. Thanks .Ash

they do during startup but once they are warmed up they draw less like ash says. but the original startup shuold be fine.

The startup is what I was concerned about mainly.

warm up is only for a few seconds, so it should be fine. i have seen people use ballasts on bikes and they are fine during start/warm up time!

whats happening, from what i have learned, during start/warm up time, the bulb is mainly trying to reach the right temp and to maintain an arc. then it draws less current aftr this process.

 

Cool, thanks juicy. Maybe I'll just throw on my HID's and see how it works out on the bike.

 

sweet looking bike man... I really like that color combination too!

Umm, so where did you get everything for the HID install? Was this a kit you bought somewhere or was it peiced together? Thanks for any info!

 

Night Pics Are Up

Its your basic EBAY hid kit. Install is very easy. Plugs into your regular lights. I had to trip a piece of the bulb for it to fit properly in my bike housing. Took like 1 cut with a pair of dykes on each bulb and valaa...

 

so its made just for the f4i? this is my next mod for my f4i, jsut wanna do some research before i buy the kit can u post some pics of the beam pattern? like a picture of the light pattern on a wall?

 

That's nice. I wonder if they have a kit for my Gix....Gonna check Egay right now.

Edit: Just checked. They go for about 299.00. One question though, do they get so hot that they burn a hole in the housing?
