HID Conversion

[Justin B.]

The company replaced it with an assembly that has an quarts and HID in the same package and it's been fine.  I had the second one replaced about a week ago with the newer Bi-Xenon but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.  It will most likely be going into the Junkyard LS.

Thanks, Justin.
we all want better lighting and appreciate you pioneering the upgrades to make it easier for us to follow in your footsteps.

I installed the HID kit into the $12 generic headlight assembly I put in the LS.  The new bulb seems to be made just a bit differently and the "shutter" cycles with gusto.  The LS is perfect for HID as the ballast can be hidden behind the "nosecone".  I'm going to "sandwich" the ballast between a couple of pieces of foam rubber to keep it from knocking/rattling around.  The mounting bracket is rather flexible...

COOOL!

Just what I'm looking for (when I pay off my Christmas bills)

Keep us posted.

Thanks,

considering upgrading the tail light / brake light system with Hyper - lites.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,  Ed  

Ed,
The fat man left me a set of Electro Pods which are really bright LEDs like the hyper lights that mount external to the tail light. Haven't had a chance to mount 'em yet but they are bright.

Yeah Rich,

I put a set of the Hyperlites inside the tail light to keep it more "stock" looking.  They are definitely brighter than the stock brake lights, but would be better left outside the housing.

Next will be the headlight and "running" lights upgrade.  Of course this will be after January credit card bills are paid in full.  Gonna be a lean month after that happens.

Fat man left me a set of silver Olympia mesh riding pants (Birthday/Christmas combined).  Haven't ridden in them yet, but they have a separate waterproof/insulated inner pant as well as adjustable armor pads at the knees and hips.  

WAY COOL!
