I agree with annguyen. Just save your money for an HID kit. I made a thread a while back on my Dominator headlights with a single HID kit.

I was going to make a shield to reduce glare but I am a lot more visible with a bit of glare and it has saved me a few times when cars tried turning in front of me.
Also, on the freeway when lane sharing, it makes me more visible and cars move out of the motorcycle line when they see me coming. This hardly ever happened before.
The light is a lot smaller than the stock 7" so the glare is minimal.



I bought my single kit for about $40 a couple years ago.

Yeah I guess now since I seen the HID kits on ebay, I wish I waited, but oh well I need a bulb fast and I just decided to try something new while I was at the auto parts store. I'll go to HID's when this bulb burns out or when I have some more money.

Although, I have noticed more cars are flashing me on the street when they're coming towards me. I used to get that once in awhile with the old bulb.

Wow... that was a dumb question on my part.... I didn't realize YOU were the OP of this thread.  lol Of course, you're not gonna go buy an HID kit right after you buy those bulbs. lol
