    HID Headlight

    Has anyone done the HID headlight conversion? If so, where did you get the kit? I'd like to do it but the headlite is $700 from Kuryakin and around $500 from HD. Anyone have a better place to get the kit?

    I installed one on my 2000 road-king. Everything was a plug- in and I was able to hide the igniter in the head-light case. I paid 250.00 for the kit and it was worth every penny . Every body sees me during the day and no-body can miss me at nightThe company is called K.O.P.S. I will look for the number and post it tomorrow.

    $250 is sure more managable than $500 or $700! I'll be looking for the number. Thanks!

    Re: HID Headlight

    What did you guys do to shut off the light when starting the bike? I researched the hid system and they say the lights need to be off when starting the engine because the hid bulb needs full voltage to fire up, or the bulbs and ballasts wont last long. (they say on cars with drl to disconnect them, and at $90 a bulb thats expensive to me to be replacing them too soon)

    Re: HID Headlight

    Converting a halogen headlight assembly to HD is illegal for public road use because of the reflecting housing the halogen bulb uses. You must use a refracting housing designed for the HD light or the beam pattern will not be focused correctly.
