I think you guys are all under a big misconception. HIDs do not blind you. You're probably getting blinded by some noob cake who put bright halogens in his stock headlight housing or dropped in a HID kit in an OEM reflector  :nono: :nono:. True HIDs are softer on the eyes and more like natural sunlight. Properly aimed they cutoff at the same level as regular headlights. So..yea...you're wrong guys. Sorry.


P.S. Go here for a motorcycle hid setup. BEWARE you still need to buy a projector. The kit only includes a bulb, a ballast, and an ignitor. You have to buy a decent projector and figure a way to mount it in your headlight assem. You also need to find a place to mount the ballast and the ignitor on the bike. Good luck.

Mounting the ballast wont be a problem on the F. The issue would be finding a projector that could easily be aimed and retrofitted into the F headlight housing.   O0

with the F housing, things wouldn't be very difficult at all. There are plenty of very small projectors that'll work just fine. Plenty easy to mount the projectors up so that they use the stock adjusters too.
