HID's on the Pani

DRAGAKNEE said:

I fitted HID lights as my latest mod and after reading this thread I was somewhat hesitant due to discussions about space and wattage and heat and so on.
Let me say from start to finish it took me maybe 1 and half hours for both sides total. I had no problems fitting the wires or installing them. I did not take pictures but could easily remove the fairings and document. The install is invisible.
I bought a set of 35 watt/ 4300k H11 kit with slim line ballasts. There is some buzzing that occurs on start up from the system but that is just the circuit doing its thing, nothing to be alarmed at. It stops after about 20 seconds.
I only removed the side fairings, the air duct covers and the round rubber head light bulb covers. I attached the balast to the ECU wth dual sided sticky tape on the right side. The wires went inside the air duct covers and on the left side the ballast and most of the wiring went where the coolant tank would be if it had them on both sides.
I will get pictures posted when I am back at home(traveling for a few days)

Don't let the install stop you guys, these lights look freaking awesome and they are easy to put in. I did think about heat but this bike is so hot anyway there really isn't much you can do about it.

I paid 90 bucks for them and got them at a local bike shop. Others may be more or less expensive but I didn't have to wait to get them and my A.D.D. likes not having to wait!!!

I ended up buying a duel slim ballast 70W/6000K system in H11 for a 12V system. The same one as another member on here installed. I'll be installing them this weekend. He says there's no error code so after install I'll confirm for everyone as well! 70W omg it's gonna rock!

if i was you i, wouldn't buy amazon HiD lights for "Best superbike of 2012" what do you do if there is a problem with the lights? i spent 6 months looking and found the DDM tuning had the best all around, they were inexpensive, easily shipped within a week and had exactly what i needed. AND i have not had a problem with ANY HiD kits i've installed, (I've done about 10 so far)

Can you say where you purchased it? There was a strong recommendation for DDM, but they just go to 35/55, which may be plenty bright.

That was just the first one I found, and I trust Amazon, at least for 30 days! The DDM looks great, which config did you use, and color?

Ok well DDM is LIFETIME GUARRENTY, there that settles your 30 days hahaha. if i were to choose i'd probably go with a 35W 6k or 8K to offset the led strip on the base model, 6K will be bright, however 8K is brighter with a little more blue tint to it.
