I was just wondering if anyone has bought the blue hid headlight bulbs for there bike and if so what did you do about your park light . Do they make a blue one ? I ordered mine off ebay and it said two bulbs so I figured one for the headlight and another for the park light , I even asked the seller and he said yes they would fit . Anyway any help or advise would be great , thanks .
What's the Kelvin rating on your bulbs? I'm assuming they're HID effect, not true xenon? In either case, the philips blue vision 5w5 will probably be the closest match:

Also, typically, main headlight H4 bulbs come in sets of two because they're packaged for car headlights (requiring two bulbs). When I installed the Noyka yellow I got 2x H4 bulbs in the package (only one required for headlight), then I needed to get the yellow 5w5 (also came in a set of two, but only needed one). So you should end up with a spare of each.
Do remember your eyesight isn't really designed by nature to see in the blue spectrum. They look clean but they don't give you more visible light that your eyes can pick up.

No I didn't realize that about the blue spectrum . What lights would you suggest ? I want other people to see me , And we have alot of wildlife around here that I may come into . I thought these lights would be a upgrade , but thanks for making me aware .
Phillips vision is good stuff, just don't get a blue one.

After reading an article about visibility I purchased the aforementioned Nokya Hyper yellow headlight and matching W5W parking light. I immediately saw drivers noticing me much more. Highbeam during the day is guaranteed to turn heads, as does the low at night.
Sadly the yellow and orange spectrums are more visible to human eyes. Hence why yellow tinted safety glasses allow you a cleaner vision sometimes as they cause your eyes to allow more light in, so a better picture just like a camera.
I ordered one of those so called HID headlights off of ebay and its not a blue HID light like they claim. The light is yellow and very fake, Its no different then the factory. This is the brand ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-GS500-01-02-GS500F-04-08-H4-HID-Headlight-Bulb-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem230d99dc53QQitemZ150552042579QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
As for the parking light, I just recently purchased one from http://www.superbrightleds.com
Here is a link to A topic I started on the boards about the Parking Light size, it has a link to the correct parking light that you need.

I went the safe route and purchased two of the T3-1/4 (#194/168) Cool white WLED-x "one for a backup" and it looks great man, I highly recommend it!
Oh and the two bulbs that they sent me when I purchased the HID's on ebay were exactly the same, they were both high/low beam headlights. They also told me that one was for the parking light, That company and the people who sell those lights are full of sh*T!
