Have you gotten a chance to ride it at night? How is the lighting?

Yes I have (HID lights).

The lighting (in my opinion) is much better. Compared to the stock halogen reflector with an HID bulb the HID projector disperses light a lot “cleanerâ€￾, has an overall better output and is easier to see objects at night. It has a nice cut-off but I think I need to fine-tune my aim.

I decided to leave the H9 high beam in place and since the HID projector is a bi-xenon I wired it into my high beam harness so when I turn on my high beams the H9 and the HID light up BRIGHT!

One thing I don’t like is that the side cut-off is so sharp in low beam that it limits your side field of view when you’re in a curve at night so I’ll either slow down or turn on my high beams to compensate.

The ballast has an internal igniter and takes only a few seconds to come up to full power when turned on. I’ve had zero flickering, clock reset or any other HID related issues.

The LED lights are AWESOME. I've ridden with them several times and have had zero issues from the police. The Joeflorida LED light kit is the best bang for the buck you can find

I have 14 strips with 162 lights; 2 on both sides lower swingarm, 2 undertail both sides, 3 on both fairings, 2 inside wheel well and 2 under the nose. I still have room on the kit to expand with up to 250 lights... rolling Christmas tree

Yes! I searched and looked at some other light kits but nothing could compare with what you get for the price.

My Busa next to my car. The crappy iPhone picture doesn't do it justice.

You'd probably get more looks/attention and responses if you start a new thread since most people probably won't read into this thread.

Haven't gotten that far yet, probably tomorrow. I still have to mount this built-to-last relay and ballast yet, lol.

What kind of ballast did you go with
