thats what i'll be doing.
those globes aren't actual 'HID' globes, regardless of the packaging. True 'HID' globes require a full ballast in order to achieve the 20,000+ volts required to get the 'arc' working. Xenon globes of the same wattage (aka pseudo HID), give a slightly bluer and brighter light than stock halogen bulbs.....but there ain't a real lot in it.
One of the local 'Bus riders down here has a set of HID globes fitted, he loves them.......I am yet to be convinced either way. That, and I do very little night riding anyway (too many skippies around here now, they are almost in the bloody suburbs after dark !!!
