55watt hid vs 55watt halogen heat2/16/2024 ![]() Maybe they figured the Can-Bus would take care of all that. No resistor either as in the write-up (?). No fuse on mine though as shown in Griff's write-up (?). The box Kelvin runs as: 3,000 - 5,000 - 6,000 - 8,000 - 10,000 - 12,000 Kelvin so you might be able to select something oranger to even more blueish if you order by phone. Bulb Kelvin on box was marked 6,000K and lights up a pronounced bluish white. but the tag says 9-16 volts so all was well there. At lower voltages (<8.0) it will flicker on and off about 1 Hz. Might try it this weekend as I just sharpened up and made a 1" hole punch out of some old pipe for the BMW light cover since I somehow derive some Paleo-Indian pleasure from pounding on stuff with a 4 pound dead-blow hammer (like tire beads).įwiw, I just plugged it into a lab supply to see if it works and it shows 12.0 volts 3.5 amps for draw of 42.0 watts. I also recently purchased the CQ kit, just haven't installed it yet due to laziness or no beer in fridge. I have not had my bike apart to look at the reflector housing, I thought that some of you that has already done this may have some advise.

How bad is the glare on the 35 watt kits that most of you have installed?ĭo any of you have other drivers that flash their lights at you to dim yours?Īlso, I checked, the OEM HID bulb in a K1200GT is a 35 watt bulb. I like the 50 watt kit, the idea of blinding a deer at 1/4 mile is a good thing? Right?īut, I wonder if the increased light output of 50 watts would increase the "glare" to unbearable levels for other oncoming traffic, since these bulbs are not dipped (the front of the bulbs are not coated) and used in a regular reflector type housing. ![]() ![]() This looks like it would be a excellent product, they have both 50 and 35 watt kits. Since the canbus / computer is set for 55 watts. I have read several forum threads about this it seems that everybody has installed a 35 watt HID kit and loves the increase in light output vs the standard 55 watt halogen dipped bulb but I have several questions if anyone would like to comment on, please do.įirst off, some have faults with the computer throwing a blown light code with a 35 watt kit.
