HID's & LED's

['Nuffsaid]

I thought I would show of the full range of lights now that I have them all wired up. Quite pleased with the overall effect ..... A bit OTT?

Sequence goes:

Led's (ICE LIGHT) and Side light
Plus Dipped HID
Plus BWM Fogs ( Standard bulbs .... not for long )
Plus Wunderlich Micro-flooters
Plus Main beam HID

Now the next person that says " Sorry mate , I didn't see you ....."

Looks great

Please excuse my ignorance....but what is H.I.D ?

I want to improve my headlight. Is there a simple way of doing it i.e. replace the bulb? Is that what H.I.D is?

You took so long to fit them that the grass needs cutting again

Gary,

HID = High Intensity Discharge ..... it means the bulbs are rplaced with gas filled "burners" that are ignited by arcing a high voltage current accross them. They are usually known as Xenons. They used to be really expensive, however you can now source kits off Ebay for as low as £40 a light to convert. If you are interested, search the site under HID and you will find loads of usefull twaddle all about the must have accessory. .....

Were did you mount the ballast?

The only problem now is the ambulance chaser that tries to claim for the Sun Tan

Ballast (x2) for Low & High beam are mounted at the front of the tank one to the right of the "well" and one opposite the light unit. I will mount the ballasts for the Fogs either under the beak, or under the seat or rear rack - I haven't decided yet. When I have them fitted, I will post some photos.

Only one ballast mounted (at the moment ) fitted it here.
