That's how my R6 was. So many people would tell me I had a headlamp out.. haha. Just rode with my high beams on all the time after that. Unless it was actually dark out, then low beam.
FZ6R - How to install HID Headlights
- Thread starter MikeN02
- Start date
During the day I do tend to ride with the high beam on but at night yeah... I have to turn it off.
Though it's so damn awesome that kawi makes the headlight so easily adjustable with a simple knob that can be turned by hand.
I have actually adjusted my low beam so that while it is on a downward angle it's a very small angle so any time I'm hitting the gas it's in people's mirrors and they see me easily. so during the day I don't have to ride ride with the high on as much seeing as it's at that angle that enough light from the low beam is in peoples eyes. Seeing as there is that small area that the light is dimmer at the top edge and that's what is in peoples eyes/mirrors all the time with how I have it set right now.
So for all those that have done the full HID retrofit, how difficult was the job on a scale of 1-10? I love the look and functionality of the 6k HID. It looks like a pain in the arse getting the headlight shroud apart.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a solid 6. It is more time consuming.
For anyone that is unsure of completing the job themselves, I offer retrofitting services. Check my signature for the link to the thread. Retrofitted projectors are the only way to go. The plug n play HID kits are lame for light projection from a standard halogen housing.

and illegal.... also blinding to oncoming traffic.
not with HID level light. Never put a non projector HID setup in a reflector housing. Do the retrofit properly and don't be an ass.

Speaking as a driver who occasionally gets blinded by caring understanding nineties types.
With only your stupid bright light as a reference point as to where the road is, guess what I'd be aiming my 2 tonne of rolling metal at until I think I'm close enough to pass down the side of it?
I have the projector-retro kit.
then why are you aiming them so high to blind people?
No no. My projector is aimed properly. I think the sarcasm in my initial post about throwing in an hid bulb was missed. My bad guys.
yeah... pretty much. lol.

What kind of headlight is this? Where could I get this? Or who makes it?

A projector retrofit by The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications.
Rabbitman's hobby so contact him for details. He posted on this thread on the previous page.

Contact me if you would like a quote to get a retrofit done. I can also get the parts for you if you would like to do it yourself. Projector retrofitting is the way to go if you plan on adding HID to your bike.
