Had a HID system on the Busa tOok it off as it caused a regulator problem so won't run HID again

These aren't cheap but at least they point exactly where your wheel does.

I cant see a price for them

RE: driving lights - RyanG - 28-01-2012
Rigid LED lights are the go. Low power consumption and MASSIVE amounts of lights.
RE: driving lights - big kev - 28-01-2012
yeah im thinking i will go with clearwater lights as well
RE: driving lights - BLACKZOOK - 28-01-2012
Kev mine are now less than half the price they were when I got them. Still the best out there by far.

Ten times the light of any cheap arse LED's
If you had a problem with the HID's then there must have been something wrong with them, get a quality set not some crap from Egay, if your not confident with wiring get a auto lec to fit them.

Thanks Bruce yeah there was a prob with the ballasts and it shat out my reg/rec so I'm back to stock lights at the moment
RE: driving lights - RyanG - 29-01-2012
Mate of mine is the importer for blue water lights. I can hit him up for a group buy price if you like.
RE: driving lights - Tyronm - 29-01-2012
Check out what deals Tim at Pashnit has available too mate....
I think they look best mounted down off the front forks...
RE: driving lights - Madmax - 01-02-2012
Had my HIDs in for maybe 5 years Kevtherev. I do a balast every 30 months or so at a cost of maybe $80. best lights I have ever had. Same bike mate so may have been a problem with the way they were installed. You need a bright spark like Les (Busdriver!!) No worries!
RE: driving lights - pan - 02-02-2012
Keep us posted on what you do Kev... I'd like those lights on my forks, but $475 is beyond my budget for lights.
