I do night riding so if there is a hid setup or a really good after market lense to fit original plastic could someone please let me know.
Thankyou Mark
Here's what I did. Get a replacement headlight designed for halogen bulbs, which is what I believe you allready have. Contact your local auto wrecker, breaker and get a damaged HID headlight housing where the bulb and control unit are ok. retrofit the new bulb and socket into the existing hole using automotive urethane sealer adhesive. Attach the control unit to the upper part of the headlight mask using the same. Get some laminex to protect the polycarbonet lens and be prepered to be blown away at how amazing this light works. Dont worry about heat HID's throw very little. You will have to convert you ac current to dc and a very small battery or capaciter is needed to get the required in rush current to get it to activate.I finished up my beta unit last night and was stunned at how powerfull it is, As n added bonus HID bulbs dont use filiments so they wont break from vibration.
