    Make sure you get a 6000k kit MAX. The higher temperature you go the less light output you actually get. I'd recommend 5000k for best light output.

    Re: HID's

    you should also do a projector retrofit, since xenons suck with traditional lenses.

    It is, I did a retrofit in my jetta before.....I eventually went back to stock cause it was a lot to maintain, and a lot of money to risk losing, lol. And yes, it was a bi-xenon retrofit as the OP needs.

    When you run the HIDs in a non HID projector housing, you get "glare" above the cut-off beam. Doesn't hurt you, but it hurts on-coming traffic. Not to bad, cause you KNOW the on-coming traffic will see you on your bike, but could be bad cause it could be blinding them and cause an accident.

    i just installed a 65watt 8000k kit in a 2007 cbr 1000rr. it was a motorcycle specific kit and it was 103 for the entire kit shipped with a lifetime warranty on all pieces including bulbs. i rode the bike tonight with the high beams on and its like riding in day time with a slight blue tint.

    there is no projectors and i myself was shocked they were as bright as they were. ill get a link this after noon from the kid.
