This is known as matching - between the HID bulb & Ballast. Zoomlite matches their HID bulbs & Ballasts in their lab for a few days b4 shipping them. This will enable the system to stablise by the time the customer install them.

Hi Mr limbat, thanks for the info man, at 1st i thought there's something wrong with my cheap HIDs, but now it really gets brighter after few thousand km, but actual hours of switching on i never go record.

 

Anyway thanks

Tyrian: HID is not legal for inspection. However, u can haf the option to off the HID and just on ur halogen bulb for inspection and for spore road. on the HID only when in msia or when ya touring.

quizesilver: ur bike has everything done up except HID

fitting such light by DIY is fire hazardous and creating unnecessary glare to other road user.

 

What is the difference in point by not using it in SG but

"use it for touring"..."riding in malaysa...thailand...offroad"

 

you still create glare to road user.

Contary to common misbelief, fitting HID onto bikes manufactured in the recent years will not create glare to other road users; as long as the HID is installed properly and the beam angle adjusted accordingly.

Haizzzzzzzzzz this thread is 4 ppl who need HIDs system - not 4 ppl like U who may not need them. There is no prefect lighting system in the aftermarket, but to be fair to those who DIYed their sets - till now I hv not heard of a set catching fire ley .....

 

As to the "glare" issue - the whole purpose is to get other road user to notice U - this the HID system is at it's best................laaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Guest quizesilver]

[Guest quizesilver]

U R wrong Mr. Cheeko - Electronic ballast are not extremely sensitive...... they are veri "PRECISE" Equipment being " Electronic" . If they are tuned to a working range then they work - so if they are not tuned to the bike working range then they may not work. The new range of Electronic ballast are 12v or 24v application. I have to confirm if they are within the Bike "Working range".
