Anybody heard of these guys??? http://xenonrider.com/

For the price and all they look great, and the few guys I got the site from said they all worked great. All that I know of went into a gs500f so its hard to say for what bikes they will or won't work for.

yeah I looked at those... the only problem I had with them... is they lie about the color charts... they say the 4300 is standard and 6000k is plasma white

in fact... 4500k is the pureist white available.

More information on HID’s

The temperature rating (kelvins) on the HID does not indicate how much light is available (lumens) but indicates what color your light will be. (approximate numbers)
Temperature color light output
• 3000 kelvins yellow light 1500-2000
• 5000 k White light 3200 lumens ~ daylight
• 6000k bluish white 2800 lumens
• 8000k bluish purple 2500 lumens
• 100000k purple 2100 lumens

4100K lamps are approx 20% brighter (measured in Lumens not degrees K) than the 6000K
As you see the higher the kelvins, the less amount of usable light.


I’m picking up a 6000k set for my wife’s car before I get a set for the bike.
