I notice in your signature that you have a 55W HID kit. I do know that 55w kits need a little more initial amperage to fire up than the 35W kits. ddm's website says they both need just under 6amps to fire, and just over 3amps to run...but the 55W is going to be a bit higher, even if only by a...

The game is absolutely insane. I just picked it up yesterday, and I already have a few higher level cars. There are a lot of new things that make the game much more accessible. You don't level up cars anymore, you level up manufacturers. Once you reach level 5, you get a 100% discount on all...

No, I don't have a bike. lol. I have four 5000k 35W ddm kits on my Si, and I had some on my EvoX as well. I was just saying that hid kits are manageable even without a projector housing as long as they are aimed properly. I do not know 100% how the beam aiming works on a 6R, but If you...

No, I never get flashed...and i ALWAYS drive with the lows and fogs on. Even with all 4 of my 5000K HID kits on, i never get flashed in traffic. I made sure to lower the beams a tiny bit after installation to avoid this. The mistake that most people make is leaving their headlight aiming...

Very nice. I'm on the basic comcast package myself, and I don't get that great of speed. I can't wait until next week when our new modem comes in, we just upgraded to the BLAST 25mbps connection

It's frustrating how many people I've talked to and given advice about beginner bikes...and every one of them just keeps up with the Jones' and shows up on an r6 or a gsxr. All I can do is shake my head and hope I don't get invited to any funerals. People just don't understand that it's the...

As I said in another post, the legality of the kits themselves doesn't really matter. The main reason any sort of aftermarket lighting attracts attention is color. That's why so many tuners get harrassed on the streets. a 1993 civic didn't come stock with purple headlights. lol. If you go...

How is that possible? Is it illegal to buy a BMW or a Cadillac in VA? Most state law are much more picky about the COLOR, and not whether it's HID or not. I'm not aware of any of the 50 states where HID is illegal. The problem is, that most people that upgrade to HID either get JDM yellow...

Good choice. a 55W kit would probably be just fine in a bike housing, but i would go 35W to be safe. Even though a 55W is 40% brighter than a 35w, a 35w is still 300% brighter than a halogen bulb. 8000k is too blue for my tastes, but hopefully you like it! Good thing is, even if you decide...

Definitely. The more you stray from pure white on the color spectrum of lightbulbs, the less light they actually throw down on the road. Yellow, being the brightest and most light producing color of bulb, eventually becomes white as it gets hotter (in color). Once the white starts to become...

That's a good question. Power wise, yes. The only issue people ever have with 55W kits is heat. That's why they dont recommend 55W kits for foglights on cars and such, because the housing is so much smaller. I would think a 55w would work fine heat-wise in a bike headlight, but I have always...

The beam does indeed scatter a lot more in a reflector housing vs. a projector. However, the light output is infinitely better than a halogen bulb, even if the beam isn't focused. The only thing you really have to be careful of, is that HID reflector beam scatter is glare to oncoming traffic...

I would also give v-leds.com a try too for HID kits. My brother has them in his GTO. There are mixed reviews on ddm products...but if you have some already, what's the problem? You can spend 4 times as much on an HID kit and it blows out before a ddm, you just never know. I've had 6 HID kits...

That is a good point, but it's not like I would buy a new gps, new cell phone, etc. because the ones I have aren't waterproof. You could just run the power cable, and keep the 12v plug under the seat, and just quickly run/tuck power cables up front as you need them. Or, things you have...

I've used a lot of different 12v plugs over the years, and they all function pretty much the same. With it being a brand I've at least heard of before, I would say it's a solid purchase. Especially since it comes with the cig plug for the car, as well as a battery hard wire kit for the bike...
