no idea... gonna order mine on Monday. didn't know about the sale till tigger posted... but was planning on this purchase for a while... so I'm not gonna be too upset if it goes back... but it'd be nice to save that $30

Well i found out from another source that they do make 881 bulbs. And upon further inspection of my bike. As long as they make the bulbs... I'm ordering it monday as well.

858-565-1742

that's the number I have... talk to Paul if you can... he's the one that hooked me up...

if not.. I have Mr. Jim Powel's e-mail address, he's the owner of Apexcone/DDM-tuning.

I finally got a call back from them. Said he's not sure what happened yesterday. Spoke to Brian and he was very helpfull and answered all my 300 quetions. So I am going to place an order with him for

1 - H4 hi/lo 55W 8k color ddm
1 - dual 880 35W 6k color ddm

That is 3 HIDs on the front of my beast. Should look like the sun driving down the road.

Mr Lefty · 12-01-2009, 11:11 PM

why you going with 8k? 5k is the most luminous... I think 8k is more blue (can't remember if it's the higher the bluer or yellower)

Rangerscott · 12-02-2009, 12:16 AM

Crap. I have to add +$20 for H4 hi/lo.

Gas Man · 12-02-2009, 03:08 AM

I was told that the 6k would be best. But that the 8k on the 55w would look similar to the 6k of the 35w bulbs.

Quote:

55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).

Which is

Quote:

The most popular color we sell is 6000k. That would be described as white with a hint of blue

As described here

I want a hint of blue. I think it makes your headlight stick out in the crowd a bit more (day or night) which increases me being seen as well. So the 8k would be more blue... but by going to a 55w the color should wash out and get more white. That's the idea. Is my logic that I worked out with brian flawed?

Dnyce · 12-02-2009, 05:13 AM

with all this talk of delaying the firing of the ballast for the hid's, has anyone wired it thru the kickstand switch? dont need to remember to hit the switch to turn your lights on, its already there as opposed to adding an additional switch...start the bike, and when u put the kickstand up the lights come on. sounds simple. do-able? did i overlook something?

just bought set, thx for linky

ahh ok... looks like you thought it through... it's all good... just wondering the reasoning.

interesting idea... though my kickstand switch is disabled as it can cause the motor to cut out when you go over fast bumpy terrain.

instead I found a headlight switch for another bike that will plug right into a harness I already have that will shut off the lights... PIMP

As a frame of reference, my HID is 8k. It's blue, damn near purple.

That fucking bike is gonna look like day light coming down the road.
