actually hor bike put hid beri dangerous le as it might potentially blind drivers. why not consider changing the bulb if u want bright and far throw

 

When car on their hid light also potentially blind us ma

haha.. Can counter back

your flesh is wrapping the plastic and metal people is cosy in their tank.

If you blind them and gets into their blind spot. Only thing u gained is brighter than other vehicles on the road, everything you lost including your life and bike is imminent.

There has never been a scooter with StocK HID. so chances is if TP saw your bike on the road you will get stopped and slap with a fine with no chance given.

Car has models that comes stock with HID so its not against the Law. SW9000 and the rest using Philips H7, can check with most of them on the brightness and light throw.

[scoobydoo]

so Elton, have you checked if there's anyway to bring forward your TP test date?

[Elton]

checked liao. Cos TP slots cannot be cancelled, even if someone were to agree to let go his slot and cancel in the system, it won't show as "available" to others, instead the school will just forfeit it and that explains why i saw some empty numbers when taking my test.

Guess bo bian just have to suck thumb and wait until Feb 21 lor. Sian.

White Swing become black Swing liao

Hi.. Any swinger bro change the headlight to hid??

 

I noe there are two bro who installed HID for their swings.... one is "spin37" who selling his ride now.... another one is "Ni+3KiDz" which he has posted sell extra HID kit here earlier but both are FJS not SWT....

 

I do consider to install HID too, but think abt day time when you riding cannot be you switch off HID mah, lidat seem dangerous without light? tio bo? Therefore, i still stick to my osram white bulb better....

 

If you still interested to noe more abt tat, juz pm n ask for them their experience.

thanks for sharing

[jsilverwing]

Muahaha. I saw it but didn't realised the difference...

Chairman so nice ah?

I want a STX!!

 

So next meeting show us your STX

[scoobydoo]

if really going to mod on my SWT, i'ld rather mod to dual headlights using "yellowish" H4 bulbs... white ones & HID may be the "in-thing" for now but they're dangerous especially when touring in m'sia. some places may sometimes get a little foggy.

 

maybe still can pass inspection woh

 

only a personal preference

[SW9000]

Ehh... got yellowish HID also with 4300k rating.

This one must ask K & T Clifford. He installed on his Forza.

[scoobydoo]

convert to HID then use yellow? if u ask around, guess many will say its a waste of $$.

but as long as you like it... it's a good mod

Cannot say that, u compare it with a normal halogen. HID has a further throw of light, can adjust ur headlight higher a bit to shine further. Can light up 3 lanes in NSH, and my high beam is as good as not working cos cant see even if high beam on.

[scoobydoo]

not saying that HIDs are no good woh... only saying that many if not most HID users do it for the white nia, not yellow

 

while there may be good reasons to use HID, purposely adjusting normal beam HID higher should never be encouraged.

personally, i've always hated those blinding HIDs especially when they're headons... always hoped i dun run straight into a stopped car in front after being blinded; worse still, run into someone. put yourselves in their shoes and imagine if you're the rider being blinded by other's HID and unfortunately crashed because of that, not good right? HIDs are definitely hazards to other road users when misused.

it is for similar reasons that headlight angles are tested during vehicle/bike inspections (make sure they're not too high), and that cars' fog lights are illegal when used locally under normal visibility conditions, even when factory fitted.

if you do use HIDs, please spare a thought for others as well.

 

maybe someone should start the new trend... yellow HIDs.

then again, may get into trouble with the men in blues/whites.

thus if dun wanna kenna summons, dun use HID

u see those that are blindly bright maybe they nvr install properly and light beam not adjusted after installation. Cos so far i saw those that install properly wont have this problem. In SG, halogen enough but NSH better with HID lo..

Guy.. If metal part of the exhaust got sratch mark, wat u all will do??
