when I got the HID's for my ZZR and for my RR... I honestly didn't even think of "looks" other than from the stand point if DAMN I'VE GOT MY OWN SUN!

if I was after looks I'd be going with something more 8kish.. the blue or purple...

I remember riding to Indy last year (08) and there was a huge fucking truck with PURPLE HID lights... mother fucker that truck was annoying... he was pulling bikes so he had to get right behind us and try to keep up (must be a rule I'm not aware of, that when you have a bike, you must keep up with every bike you come across... even when towing your bike)

talk about distracting!

I'm running a 8k bulb now...only because it came with the kit I bought. If and when it blows I'll go with something a bit lower in color temp.

4500k with a 35w or 55w?

Cuz 55w washes out some of the color. My 5000k 55w is VERY white. Hardly any blue at all.

4300 = best light output, and going w/ 5k isn' that much diff then 4300, it's people 8k+ and/or purple output. they are loosing the light output to get "that" color.

Agreed. Just wondering if you thought I was a poser for getting 5000k :D [/tonge in cheek]

Well I want some color. I wanted it in the 6k range. Just a hint of blue. So I ordered 35w 6k for the spots. Wanted the most amount of light. So wanted a 55w for the headlight... was told to order 8k to match the other lights.

I think some color makes you more visable in the sea of headlights. Both daytime and nighttime.

Poser? I don't think so.

What else is new? I haven't installed them yet but I'm guessing that they are going to be bright and fucking purple! As long as she likes them, that's all that counts. She's not going riding out in the country at night and I honestly feel that the purple color will attract attention and possibly avert accidents. She's not doing 130 mph at night or anything so it should be alright.
