The only thing i'll caution you about HID's, make sure you have a projector type lens. If you don't have a projector type lens, then your HID's will pretty much be useless and blind everyone.

On my 600RR... the beam is exactly the same as stock. I had pictures but lost them... but I compared them... the only difference was brightness and color... the cut off happened at the same height and was just as crisp.


but a very valid point... you'll have to be very carefull about how you aim your lights after you convert.(if you convert)
