LEDs do not light far enough, but they are better for be visible in the day.Why not go with some super bright and white LED bulbs and keep the projector lens?
That is what I am going to look at when I get mine.
I put 8000K HID in the T-Rex...believe me you can see far away!! For now no option about that from Polaris!At the very least I'm sure you can upgrade the bulbs. In my experience, bulbs are made to burn bright or last long...not both. I put a brighter bulb in my motorcycle and it made a huge difference. HID would be better, but I'm suspect there will be options.
Its my second mods!:hungry:I put HID headlights on my Gl1800 wing for $60. Did it on my car for less then $120 (including a wiring harness). I am sure you will be able to do on the SS for less than $150. I agree there is NOTHING like HID to light the road up at night!
Incorrect.LEDs do not light far enough, but they are better for be visible in the day.

Thanks. Since you mentioned LED's and headlights I have another question, maybe you just answered it and I didn't follow. Anyway, you know how a lot of cars now days have LEDs around their headlights and most of them are bright enough they don't get washed out by the headlight. Is anyone working on those "eyebrow" type LEDs?They are the replacement of the original.
The Led lights that will replace the original front lights Will be available for you guys very soon as well.

Are you talking about the same length lights that you have as a strip on the bottom or the top similar to Mercedes or Audi? If this is what you talking about, yes they are available, but we have to wait a Little before shipping them outThanks.

Yes, you see them more on 'upper end' cars. Can't wait to see what you have created.

I do agree that you do not have any experience! You bought one kit off the Internet for $35. And you consider this as an experienced person of H ID?!I dont have any experience with LED headlights, but I do with HID. The only way to get the most light where you want it, is to have HID projectors with proper cutoff lines, otherwise you are blinding oncoming vehicles and you can hunt owls in the trees.
The truest white light comes from between 4k-6k depending on manufacture.
DDM Tuning has HID kits ($35) Ive had in my Goldwing with projectors($100) for 2 years now.
The projectors are designed to project HID spectrum farther with cutoffs that block the blinding upper half of the beam until you hit the brights, then the cutoff opens and delivers all the light channeled through the HID reflective projectors.
If you have ever driven a car with factory HID lights and pull up to your garage door, you can see the crisp cutoff line on the door.
Simply installing HID bulbs in Halogen designed reflectors will not give you 100% of light, and most likely will be blinding to others.
If this is your experience with HID, then your doing something wrong. I have converted several goldwings with HID and yes I can say we have replaced a couple bulbs and 1 ballast, not on the same bike over 5 years. Nothing is perfect.HIDs are great, if you enjoy replacing bulbs and ballasts every second Tuesday of the month..
