Can HID's be fitted to the GTR ?

Boomer

Yup, several have done it.
I haven't as I consider the 1400s headlights to be more than adequate as is.

Xenon HID is good! But GTR1400 has installed 2 x H4 bulbs - . You can also select Philips Extreme Vision standard H4 socket - it gives an even better light!

Have a look at www.hid50.com   I bought sets for the dipped beam on both my Blackbirds, ZZR1400's and 1200 Multistrada.

When I contacted the site recently and was informed I needed a pair of H4 light at £180 (will work as dipped/main beam).

They are not the cheepest on the market (You get what you pay for  :no:) but these are definately quality items...put together specifically for bikes, so you don't have to hide yards of loom and the like  :wink: and not difficult to install...just be patient  :hammer:

I once bought some H4's for one of my cars off fleabay...they were cheep  :shit: lasted about six months.

HID's are definately work better than any aftermarket bulbs  :clap: I swear they can dry the road  :laugh:

I'm with mosegaard. Just ask LW how my bike lights up from the front with the Phillips H4, Bullets, and Cree LED running lights

I had HID when riding in Singapore, super powerful, but the cruising lights were yellow, now I changed it to bright white for day ride and my high beams are OK but still not as powerful as HID.
But I figured that I rarely use high beam, since I no longer ride in the Malaysian jungle !

O.C.

I fitted Ring Xenon Maxo mine and they are great  :yes:

The most important is to be well visible during day time, HID or xenon lights will do the job.
