If it's aimed right, you will notice a substantial difference. So will oncoming traffic. If you use a 35W in the high you might need to adjust it up a bit to see more of a difference.Jds,
do you use the 55w in the high beams?
I have 35w in both, and the high beam isn't terribly effective. I was wondering if the 55w would make a difference?
Yeah, the problem is that the GENII only has a single adjustment for both lights.
BAD mistake by Suzuki!!
But will the 50 watt or 35 watt HID lights cause any problems to the electricals or ECU? One person told me HID's can create an electrical spike.
Also when I connected the HID's and turned them on my instruments cluster went eratic and the gas warning light stayed on even with the key out of the ignition. I disconnected the battery waited 5 mins then tried it again and everything was fine working well and 2 weeks later still is.
Most find the 35W more than enough for the low beam. 55W bulbs are about 40% brighter than a 35W and best suited for high beams. Take into consideration oncoming drivers when selecting a low beam HID because even the 35W units will blind others (I always had people from work complaining that I need to leave first because even in the rear view mirror is was unbearable).
The 35W low beams will completely smother the standard halogen hi-beam on the Busa. 55W high beams are best suited for those who live in the boonies (like me) and have to worry about wildlife while riding home at night (particularly deer).
Whats the wattage for a stock bulb in a low beam? Im just wanting to know if 35W will still let me see alot better than i have now...
I always run both highs and lows during the day, and normally just my low beam at night unless called for, but seeing how my damn high beam is way to high its pretty much useless. I can turn it on at night and never get flashed for having my high beams on because it is shining over their heads. Im thinking of lowering my high beam to use all the time and just let the low beam shine at the ground.
Stock low beam is 55watt the 55 watt hid gives a 1/3 more light output then a 35watt hid of the same color temperature.
