LED conversion difficulties

I'm a bad influence? It was all the reading on your site that eventually paved
the way to this site and then buying my PC. To blame me is to blame thyself sir!
LOL!

I have the 10,000 brightness kit for my bike. It uses the H4 bi Xenon bulb. Many
kits have a high beam halogen bulb and a low beam HID. I bought that first and
in my opinion, those bite because the halogen is not even close to being as
bright as the HID. My bulb uses a magnetic built in switch that raises and
lowers the bulb for Hi and Low beam. No extra work required, it's built in, so
the same bulb is used for both positions.

I have been running my HID kit since before the Deals Gap run waaaay back in
July 2011. I have suffered no plastic melting of any kind. I still love the
improved brightness over the stock bulb, plus wider spread of light and greater
distance. Plus, the HID lights cause everything reflective to glow nice and
bright. Lines on the road, street sign letters, markers on vehicles.

Various kits are a dime a dozen on ebay. Just make sure it's the bi-Xenon and
10K. The 6K is kinda yellowish and the 8K is greenish. Both butt ugly in my
opinion and turns the world hideous shades. The 10K is pure white, slughtly
bluish and everything is true color.
