I realize the light output can be all over the place.... that's why you do your best aim them down and away from oncoming traffic.
I don't have the time, interest or cash to invest in something like from the retrofitsource, nor do I plan on keeping the bike forever, because I will go back to the US in 2 1/2 years... so why put that much money into it? I just want a capable, functional ride for the time being.. and I'd like to be able to see at night.
Anyways... thanks for clearing that up for me. And DDM tuning kits are what I used in my truck and my honda accord.. and my brother used them in his truck. Other than my bro needing to order 1 replacement ballast in the last 2 years.. neither of us have had issues.
I will probably just end up getting the 35w hi/low kit then.. seems the easiest route. RFW2003, let me know how you do the ballast mounting and how you hide the wires. I just want it to look clean and not get snagged when I turn the front wheel.
