My old PIAA Plasma GT bulb finally burned out after initially residing in my car for 7 years. I dropped it into the bike because the OEM was a little brighter than a candle. 40 miles from home in the middle of nowhere the bulb dies!(Of course I forgot to put a spare bulb under the seat. I ended up following a car to civilization to light up the road. Bought a cheap H4 bulb at Walmart and got home safely
My buddy wants to give a new HID kit but I don't think it's going to fit. Ballast is very slim which will be no issue. There is so little room from what I have seen without removing the fairing/headlight behind the headlight. The bulb is a Hi/lo bulb where a motor shifts a reflector in the bulb to "simulate" high beam mode of a regular H4 bulb. The mechanism is about 1/2 " long. Does anyone if the bulb will clear back there?
