DDM HID Kit = after install pics
Hey guys- well i've had my ddm kit for about 3 months, haven't had time to install.. Well did it today, and whoa it makes a HUGE difference. If you are on the fence about getting a DDM kit - please, go and get it. It is amazing!!!
I got the 55w 5000k version, has anyone had heat issues with this one? ?
pics of low beam, and high beam.
Cheers=

yes= it comes with the metal deflector- fits in nicely. As far as beam pattern, i drove around for about 20mins, nobody flashed me and it actually lines up pretty good. I didn't have to rotate it up or down...

Some of these previous 'debates' over HID bulbs really cracked me up.
It's a better technology, Period! It's like asking, "Would you rather have a hundred dollars, or a million dollars?" There's really no debate at all. Those who ride at night and think HID's are bad or a negative, should ride Harleys!

Mine was 35w. Was advised not to get the 55w. After seeing your light, regretted not getting the 55! Sigh!

With the hypermotard, it never concerned me whether my HID affected anyone driving ahead of me.
In my opinion, its never safe to ride behind a car at close proximity. Should I need to ride close to the car rear, i find opportunity to overtake.
As for those oncoming vehicles, either one of us will be going quick enough before the light affects them
