geresti Posted February 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2009 Anyone have these on their bike? I was with a friend over the weekend and he had them installed on his Ford Ranger and I was very impressed with the lighting. Haven't found one for my 2006 RSTD but plan on getting them for my Silverado. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted February 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2009 I put 55 watt white's on my Silverado - high & low beam I will never have another vehicle with yellow bulbs. I found them online & they have a lifetime warranty. If it quits, just mail it back and the send a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted March 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2010 A year later, and has anyone put HID lights on their RSTD? Where did you put the ballast and igniter? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfoster Posted March 2, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2010 I'll be happy to see LED passing lights and LED headlights for motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmnChode Posted March 2, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 2, 2010 HIDs on my RSV, no....On my Vmax, yes I should correct my RSV statement...no, isn't quite the right answer. Not yet is alot more befitting... Picked up a conversion kit from the dealership I frequent. Had a nice juicy 30% off coupon and dropped it on it. It is a straight up plug and play setup. HID low beam with a seperate halogen high beam that I'll never use. It really lights up the road; although, the fluted lense does spread the beam a bit more than I desire. With that said, I haven't been flashed yet, so I don't believe I'm blinding on-coming traffic. I also have a set of Kuyakyn Silver Bullets (part #2320) that I have just retro-fitted from halogen to LED using a set of these... While they are a little expensive and not quite as bright as the halogens, they only pull 8Ws between the pair and have ungodly hour time . Besides, I only use them for visabilty purposes after I installed the HID, even with the halogens, as you could barely see a difference on or off afterwards... Best part is, only using 43 watts now up front, total, vs 55 watts for a standard halogen low beam and another 50 for the silver bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted March 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 2, 2010 HIDs on my RSV, no....On my Vmax, yes *snipped* It really lights up the road; although, the fluted lense does spread the beam a bit more than I desire. With that said, I haven't been flashed yet, so I don't believe I'm blinding on-coming traffic. I've heard a lot about HIDs clouding the lens (I am assuming you mean the headlight lens, not the lamp shape?). I wonder if this is a problem on RSTDs? Thanks for your ideas.

AmnChode Posted March 3, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 3, 2010 I could see that occurring if you had one of the clear (non-fluted) plastic ones....but wouldn't think that would be the case with our glass ones. Could be wrong, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkruzen Posted March 4, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 4, 2010 I had them installed on my Harley before I sold it. They work great, but I blew the igniter and couldn't find a replacement so I went back to stock. All-in-all I don't think it's worth all the money and time just to have cool looking head lights. Oh, bye-the-way, you will have no high beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
