    sportcity 250 w/ real hid

    all I have to say is they look great! alot of work but worth it. if you are going to add hid....do the eur. light too! just alittle more work & change the parking bulb too (led bulb #168) you don't want alittle of yellow light comming out in the middle of headlight.

    I am interested in the setting as I just need to get a H7 bulb to go with the HID kit I have. I was wondering if it is worth it at all as there are new tech bulbs which are legal and are highly illuminated i.e. Osram Night Breaker with 90% more light. Would a 6K HID beat this high-tech halogen bulb?

    the night breaker is not 90% more light, it's just a 10-15% more white and powerful than a philips. even a 6k hid is more powerful, but not legal. i had 8k on my scooter, it was amasing

    Does the power source cable had to be dangling like in pix 3 along with the brake hose?

    relax, it's the same thing, small differences between the different types. the main thing is that a halogen lamp cannot do more then it does now, want more get a xenon. night breaker, night racer, just new product names to keep sales up. put a night breaker, a night racer, a philips and you will barely see any difference

    good choice that xenon bulb. i don't know about there but here we have no problem riding with xenon lights. anyway, there is a risk, stronger light and wrong adjusted headlights can get a driver temporary blinded and he can hit into you. that's why i have removed the xenon from my scooter. here we have a lot of "rednecks" who sold a piece of land or a house and got themselves a X5 bmw or Q7 audi or impreza subaru with lots of HP and ride them like other people didn't exist on the road. for them i just bought a raid 400 gun, can't wait to use it (i will aim for the head)

    here is jail too, but not instant, after a year or more. anyway, here police is hard to be seen on the streets during daylight, they come out only at night. this gun i have is an CO2 airsoft gun, it's almost the most powerful gun that doesn't need a licence. i would have bought a real gun with bullets or rubber bullets but the price is killing me, USD 1000

    what type of light bulb did you use in the Euro lights place?
    are they connected to the low beam switch?

    thanks!
