HID upgrade was created by kennyb
I just upgraded the standard halogen H3 to a HID H3 that I purchased from KB carstuff.com. The bulb has a shield so not to blind on coming drivers and also to better utilize the the reflector. It also has a hi/lo function as well. I angled the light slightly downward as well. What a improvement to the original and also only uses 35 watts as well freeing up some power The slim ballast fit nice and neat into the headlight bucket as well. This is a good quality kit with a warranty.Stay away from those Xentec Chinese HID kits from Ebay.They are junk and will fail at the most inopportune moment(ask me how I know).And will cost more in the long run.

Good to hear of somebody doing it properly.
A mate of mine fitted a cheap chinese kit to his 4x4 when he gets behind me i feel like reversing up over his bonnet.
I actually found the standard headlight to be ok it was my fist night ride on saturday and i was surprised at the high beam in comparison to a harley softail I had been riding for the past few years.
