HID projector on my FZ6N - Complete!

[Jedi]

How much of an improvement over stock?

Looks seriously bright, I would say comparable to my girlfriends Fazer with both beams lit but yours has a much whiter cast to the light, it's daylight bright

I'd say it's an immense improvement over stock, but what's more important is the spread of light. I like it at lot!:thumbup:

Considering that xenon emits roughly three times more light than a comparable halogen, this single xenon bulb should be somewhat 50% brighter than your GF's two halogen bulbs

sorry to bring up an old thread but I wanted to thank the OP for the idea on extending the wiring.. I just got my hid kit today for my gsxr headlight mod and looked at all these slim blasts, ignitors, etc and said to myself where the hell am I gonna put this stuff?!? Under the seat is perfect! Good idea man..
Thanks

I did post a couple of pictures of the output on page two of this thread. But I will try to catch another one later, showing the cut-off a bit better:thumbup:

Is the lamp 6000 or 8000 K ?

Would like to see some more photos if possible

There is a PERFECT spot under the tank right in front of the hinge that looks liek it was made for these ballasts. and you get to keep the limited under seat storage for a pack of gum or something...

Long time no see

There's been and still is winter up here, and the bike's still stored safely away. Weather is about to get a little better, and I guess it will be time to take the bike out riding in only a couple of weeks.

Anyway; I have a few pics that I took for the vendor of this stuff that are now being used for commercial purposes:

It's 6000K by the way. I am going to mount a 50W ballast to this thing which I have laying around, just to make the light output even better:BLAA:

can you plug a 50W ballast into a 35 watt bulb (I know that physically they are the same) but are the bulbs all the same (just sorried that you will burn out your bulb)? also i would be sure that the wire is rated at the higher wattage so that it dosen't melt. you only have 1 headlight and if it goes out at night you are S.O.L.

My understanding is a high quality (as in OEM, not ebay Chinease HID kit stuff) can take a higher wattage ballast no problem. Kit bulbs that wern't necessarily made for it may get too hot, and could start burnging the chrome off your projector bowl if it's a small enclosed unit, like the plug-and-play ones.

Boy that is a great looking bike. Very manly. I want to upgrade my stock lights to the HID projector sometime soon too. I like the light output.:thumbup:

No problem doing this as long as the HID kit you're using is a high quality kit. The vendor that I got this from, sells kits with 50W ballasts, and I allready got it in the high beams on my car. Works like a charm:thumbup: Vendor has one year guarantee on this as well. If a bulb should go, then I can use my D2S bulbs that I have laying around.

If the projector unit can't take the excessive heat from additional 15W, well.. I don't think so, really.

Sorry for resurecting this thread. I just bought a HID kit from ebay and am doing a similar mod.

I just wanted to know if a fuse is required when connecting directly to the battery?

HID would need about 3 Amps (35watts/12volts). So should I use a 5 amp fuse on the positive terminal lead to be on the safe side?
