H1, and H7 HID kits

Finally..... finally.... finally the long anticipated delivery of HID kits has hit my doorstep.

Sooooo anxious to recieve them I immediatly fitted a set to my GS and thought I would share with you the results.


origional rubbish dipped candle vs. 6000k 50w super slim HID fitted to dipped only.


origional rubbish main beam candle on its own vs. 6000k 50w super slim HID fitted to main beam only.


final end result with both dipped and main beam applied.

Im VERY happy....

So, if anybody would like the same for their bike, the kits come with 2 ballasts with inline ignitor and bulbs and are a direct plug and play, no cutting into other wires, just connect and secure and can be easily transferred in the future allowing to put your bike back to standard and move the kits to another bike.

Ive got H1, H4 (cars only at the moment until next batch), and H7 kits, check your manual and get in touch if you cant figure out which your bike would use.

Im happy to offer advice on fitting and troubleshooting but I cant see you having any.

Prices are £110 (+£20 for H4) for the 6000k 50w super slim HID kit and if you just want to HIDify your dipped or main beam then I can split the kits and they would be £60 per 1/2 kit (H4 excluded till the next batch).

Off for a nighttime ride.... :twisted:

They do look a like, but we have Alcantel internals from France, which we source ourselves, then send them to be assembled, so ours are the top in kits, as we give a full warranty with the gear we don't want any comeing back.

There is a lot of HiD's out there, you pay's your money, we like to think that it is money well spent with us.

There is a full warranty with our kits also. This does not include damage/misuse as im sure Les' doesnt either.

Had some good news today.... the kits are going to be a little cheaper too.

£100 for H1 and H7 kits or £60 for a half kit.

£125 for H4 which is the single bulb high low kit with full wiring harness which cannot be split as its designed for cars.

The few faults we have had regardless of fault have been replaiced, our HiD's are designed for the bikes, (Canbus safe) the H4 has a bike harness, have seen the car ones fitted to a GS

Boys just to keep this all in perspective and so this doesn't go a bit pear shaped between two sellers of HID's... if you haven't tried any of the other persons particular units yourself you can't really say if the others is bad or good or will work or not..

I maybe wrong but i thought a lot of cars now uses a canbus type system so i can't see that being a big problem i hope.. and as HID technology will have improved as more and more are being sold.. the units produced now may have major improvements over earlier units..
Also maybe ZC can confirm if a set has been fitted to a 1200 yet and has been a success or not with regards the canbus and that may clear up the matter.

I'm trying to be equal and not favouring one or other of the sellers here
feedback from other users is always a good guide to go with... and remember no matter how good a thing is made you will always have a few failures

anyway good luck to both vendors

No problem Tuned, sorry if I was giving that impression , just popped a quick note on as it looked like I was charging a lot more, but have spoke to Swissrob who apologised for how his thread looked, his order was with a bracket as well which he forgot to take into account, so we are about the same in cost

As for the Canbus with cars don't get me started; they are more temperamental than bikes

I have not had the opportunity to test these on a 1200GS yet and I would like the opportunity to do so.

If anybody is passing or lives in the Sheffield area and would like to try they can pop down, or ill pop up. I will of course offer a generous discount for the first person who gives them a try and will post information to follow.

Zero cool , your PM box is full it would appear. Those kits must be popular. If you still want a Sheffield guinea pig let me know.
