What's Included With Your 55w Motorcycle HID Kit

1x "Supervision" Hi/Lo HID Globe

These bulbs use "UV cut" glass, which means they won't discolour your poly carbonate headlights like other, cheaper globes do (which makes your headlight covers go yellow or "smoked" from the UV).

1x Deluxe 55 watt Slimline Ballast

These high powered ballasts are only 14mm thick, and being digital, your lights fire up to full brightness much quicker than cheaper analogue ballasts which can take up to 30 seconds before reaching optimal brightness.

Motorcycle Hi/Lo Relay

Connect your HID system using this relay to supply power direct from the battery rather than via your bike's existing wiring.

Installation Guide

Step by step guide detailing the installation process.

Now you can have high-powered Xenon technology on your bike

All our motorycle HID kits (including this "standard" kit) utilize digital, AC slimline ballasts. It is important to understand the different between DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating Current) when it comes to H.I.D. ballasts. The purpose of the ballast is to take the 12volts DC from your battery, and step it up to 23,000 volts to initially "fire" the bulb. Once the bulb is going, the voltage is regulated around 80volts, but here is the difference...

DC ballast internals

...DC ballasts output the current like your bike battery - in one direction only. They are cheaper to manufacturer (than AC ballasts) and they don't last as long (usually they die in less than a year, and you're unlikely to find a genuine manufactur's warranty for 12 months or more. We have seen some manufacturers in China only offering 30 days warranty on their cheap crap!! Don't forget eBay sellers only need the product to work for 2 months, after which time you cannot leave (or change) the feedback score you leave them.

Using a DC ballast will shorten the lifespan of your bulb, and will also cause the "flickering" you read some people complaining about. The flickering may be OK to put up with if you're on a bike that already has vibration, but it will drive you nuts on a car.

For the reason we don't sell, nor recommend using DC ballast HID kits. If you go to all that trouble of install a HID kit on your bike (or paying someone to do so) why do you want to have to pull it apart again a few months down the track?

AC ballasts, like the 240 volts in your home, alternate the current through the HID bulb in both directions. That is why HID bulbs do not have a "positive" and "negetive" plug. AC ballasts are more expensive to manufacture, last longer and are the type used in factory (OEM) installed HID headlights in cars.

This kit, like all our HID motorcycle kits, use AC ballasts.

The globes are available in colours ranging from 4300k to 8,000k (although we only recommend 4300k to 6000k, since over 6000k (blue lights) are illegal to use on-road).

UV-CUT Bulbs (original Philips quartz glass) means they won't discolour your bike lens, and make them go a milky / yellow colour. They are also safer for your eyes being UV filtered.

Electrode & Molybdenum from Sweden - which means high quality components result in a defective rate less than 0.5% in the bulbs

HID Installation

Whilst not technically difficult, installing a HID kit on your bike can be a bit "fiddly" and time consuming. The only difficult part, if at all difficult, is to find somewhere to mount the ballast.

Most people mount the ballast somewhere in the front faring area (that is out of the way) or under the seat. If mounting under the seat you'll need to purchase a set of extension leads to extend the cables between the ballast and globe.

Alternatively, you can download our HID Installation Manual Here

Alternatively, if you want your HID lights professionally installed by a licensed auto electrician,
please contact one of our recommended installers for a quote.

I've been given a quote for replacement HID globes from my car dealer and they were over $300 - why are your's so cheap?

I would answer that question with "Why are the dealer's so expensive?"

It is common knowledge that car delaers place huge mark-ups on aftermarket goods and spare parts. Here in Perth I knew of a certain dealer charging $3000 (including installation) for a product that RETAILED for $800.

Since we do not have the overheads & expenses of a "traditional retail shop" we do not need to apply the same outrageous mark-ups to our products like the car dealers do!

Just wondering about the heat generated with 35watt, 55watt and 75watt HID

A 35watt HID puts out less heat than a 55watt halogen bulb (and a lot less than a 100watt halogen bulb)

A 55watt HID puts out a little more heat than a 55watt halogen bulb. If your headlights / spotlights are ony rated to 55watt (or it is suggested NOT to use higher than 55watt) then it is best to stick with 35watt only. That being said, we have had literally hundreds of customers install a 55watt HID kit with no heat problems.

In my own car, I replaced the stock headlight assembly with aftermarket (plastic) headlights that had built in angel eyes. On these aftermarket lights, it actually said do not use HID. When I quizzed the seller, he told me that they were fine to use HID. So I installed 35watt in the low beam, and 55watt in the high beam, and two years later, these plastic aftermarket headlights have had no heat damage. The reflector and the polycarb lens are as clear as the day I bought them.

Since when we started selling HID products in 2006, I have only had two cases where a customer had issues with heat. Both these cases, the customer was using 55watt HIDs. So the bottom line is if you are worried about heat, stick to 35watt HID. But even with 55watt HID you have a 99% chance it will be fine.

As for 75watt and 100watt HID systems, this is a different story. You should only use these HIDs to replace a 100watt or 130watt halogen bulb. The amount of heat generated by these high power HID will melt plastic lights. The best spotlight for these high power HIDs is a Hella Rally 4000 - which is made of metal with a glass lens. You risk melting anything made from plastic.

Do you sell the 100watt HID kits?

Here is a little known truth for you....

Be very careful if you're looking at buying a "100 watt" HID kit!

Firstly, most of the so called "100 watt" kits actually use re-badged 75watt ballasts.

Secondly, ALL the "100 watt HID kits" are only using a 75watt bulb. There is no manufacturer (at the time of this writing) that produces a genuine 100watt HID bulb. This is not a huge deal, because a 75watt bulb can be used with a (true) 100watt ballast. It just won't last as long if it was driven with a 75watt ballast.

Because most of the "100 watt" kits out there (especially on eBay) are using 75-85 watt ballast (with a 100watt sticker) the globes in these kits are fine. The globes are 75watt and the ballasts are close to 75watts, so the kits will last your usual 3000 hours.

But if you manage to get a TRUE 100watt ballast, your 75 watt bulbs will burn out faster.

How do I know this? Because the last time I was in China (October 2012) visiting HID manufacturers, one of the things I was specifically looking for was a manufacturer of (true) 100watt HID bulbs. My research found none existed. There are only 75watt bulbs.
