Projector seems to make a big difference in reducing glare and having a clean cutoff.

Looks sweet. I have a k5 600 and was thinking about doing HID's. Could you do a step by step install?? How much was the kit and is it for a motorcycle or did you split a kit on half?? I have heard that the HID bulb is longer than the stock bulb and that it would hit the projector at a weird angle. Did you have to modify anything?? Thanks. Looks great, but you need to do something with the high beam

the only thing was difficult was finding a place to hide the Ballasts & Ignitors. also you have to take off the upper fairing to make a lil bit easier. other than that getting the HID hooked up was the easiest!!

yeah i wish i did that in the beginning but i was to excited to put it on to see how it will look but ill try to take pictures of where i put the Ballast and ignitor. yeah i was thinking just disconnect the low/high beam but i havent rode my bike yet so i dont know how it look when im riding..for the bulb i didnt have any problem putting it beside trim the plastic that hold the bulb cuz it was to wide.the HID kit cost me 240shipped here on H-T sponsor his SN: XenonPros give him a pm fast shipping too yeah i gave the other one to my brother for his bday. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1429912

i have it wired to the stock config. i just plugged the wire into it no cutting. i think imma use a switch sometime down the line so i can save the life of the bulb.

thank you for all the comments guys , the cut off do look sweet! i wish i done this when i got my bike

i know that you are satisfied, but have you ever considered retrofitting real hid projectors? im curious what deminsions are the stock so i can find the closest matching HID projectors to retrofit.

been looking at the 04-05 750s and hids wuold be awesome
