The kit will usually have a rubber grommet right before the wires get to the bulb...on my kawi I dremeled out a hole slightly smaller than the size of the grommet and it was a perfect fit, and when fitted it created a waterproof seal.

for HID's.

So from your experience you'd say the Bi-Xenons are a solid enough technology to go for it? I'd prefer to pay an extra $30-$40 to keep both high/low beams. Just want to know that the tech has matured enough to be reliable. I remember when the bi-xenons first came out there were many reports that the only truly reliable ones were those used by the high end vehicle manufacturers (very expensive), but that was many years ago. Now they are finally available in moderate price ranges.

So if my choice was either high beam OR HID's I would pick the HID's. But if there is a functional alternative where I can keep both then I'm interested in looking into it.

Anyone else had any bi-xenon experience in bike or car???

The HID's are going to have just as good if not better spread and wider than what you're going to put in as your high beam bulb(s).

My 1k and 750 have the same headlight design, and as I mentioned I think the HID's will out do any bulbs that I've put in my 750.

Good enough for me...HID's it is! Thanks man.

We do hid installs and sell hid units as well and have yet to have any wire problems in the years and hundreds we have installed.

What's a good brand name for HIDs and anything I should look for? 07 gsxr 1k

I have a generic brand, and have not had any issues with them. I've had them in my bike for almost 2 yrs. You'll probably be fine with just about any brand out there.

I just installed mine from DDM tuning. I got the 6000k (purewhite), 55w and H7 bulb for the low. Work great!
