I just bought a 2007 busa 2 weeks ago and it needs a low beam. The OEM one is like $19.99 so i started thinking about other options.
The first thing I'm reading about is if they're legal or not. I am in Florida and I'm seeing yes and no all over the place. So i'm confused..
The second thing is i see there are literally 100's of kits out there - some screwing with cluster guages... some having relays.. some having delays....and on and on.
Not knowing anything about this stuff - i'm open to ideas and opinions. My bike shop guy says he can install HID but I'm always concerned the more complicated it gets...
I plan on driving at night and if i go far enough i could run in to roads where animals could dive at me from the side of the road (deer, panther, um..bear...? lol)... so i'd like to see well.
The last thing.. i'll go take a picture now. The previous owner put in these purple circle things (no idea what they're called) but i dont want to drown them out completely with 6000 lumens or something... BUT i don't know if they will be drowned out or not. ...that's one of my questions (pic below)...
So i'd like something that is bright, doesn't ruin the purple things being visible, and is pretty easy to install. If HID is your opinion feel free to share links to the kit you used or like and if you have any relay or delay installed... and any issues with cluster interference or battery drain. And is it legal in FL?
**maybe those purple things are designed to only show up when the high or low beam are off? i don't know.. im just guessing. You can see it's not visible when the high beam is on so maybe that's the case... no clue... ?? **
Thanks!!!
