Can't please everyone. Just enjoy personalizing your bike=D

If you need to ask if something is cool, they're probably not.
 
Don't do it. Cheesy and real HIDs are cheap now.

Two problems:

1. Reduced lighting because of the filter and color is not perfect.
2. Police will pull you over and you may be ticketed.
 
what?! so how do they work? whats the concept?
 
From what I see , the headlight bulb heat somehow makes the ring charge up and light whatever colour it is. i could be wrong but thats what it looks like. Think of a night glow watch.

It looks like you will only see that color after you charge the ring and turn the light off.
I assume they put out less light then most halogens due to the colored coating on the bulb.
 
Sure might look ok but to me it looks like just another strain on your stator. Even on my 929RR I have the low HID on a 25W ballast and in my 2 outer HIGH beams I run LED light just to be visible and I see further with the 25W HID at night over stock...and not using as much juice!

If there are the same wattage they would put no extra strain on your stator.
Wouldn't taking away power from whatever was originally supplied put more strain on your R/R as it would have to dissipate the unused power?
 
I am just gonna get a hid kit from daytona and be done with it

They are xenon: "A Xenon Glow bulb produces the equivalent to 110 (low) and 120 (high beam) watts of light while drawing the same amount of power as your stock 55/60 watt bulb" .
The ring is just phosphorous and will release a brief after-glow.
I don't think there would be a legal issue.
 
You're probably imagining them to glow super bright.

I can tell you right now they won't.

IT may still look kinda cool to have 'soft' angel eyes with your bike off though. Buy it and if you don't like it at least you have spare lights.
