no idea on price at this moment, i charge between 80-100 to do it, but the cost is really all in which parts you want, angel eyes are led or ccfl, and the hid's depends on if you just want hid's or with a projector and if you want the projector to be regular or bi-xenon, same with the bulb, there is regular bulbs and bi xenon bulbs....
so at the end of the day, its all about what you want, obviously the more you pay for the more you get... the most expensive one i did so far was a bi xenon projector with a clear lense and a bi xenon hid, with r8 style led's and ccfl angel eyes.....
all that stuff adds up.....

i dont have my cam here, the wife has it with her, but there is a post from uchi with it on here, with one i just made for him......
as i said the price is always reflective of the options, and the options are listed above
this is the post from uchi.....
https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=20861
since doing this i decided that if i was to supply the parts, you would have more options, i just know that in the world of motorcycles, night riding is something we all do, and with the bs and excuses that ppl give us about not being able to see us, better light is something they cant ignore....
so again sorry i cant tell you the total price for all the bell's and whistles, but again the more i order i know the price will come down.... you can always get the parts your self and then have it done....

i'm a bit confused...
where are you going to get these projectors from? which HID kits would u use....
i have 3 projector housings sitting in my living room now from various cars but they arent meant for HID, although you can put one in.
i right now have a BMW projector with an H1 HID bulb from my E34.
much better lighting than stock headlight

OK I am going to sound like such a newb so take your shot but here it goes… Projectors, do they do anything or is
is cosmetic? I had an HID system in my bike and removed it cause it was only a low beam and that
sucked, as much as I like the brightness I couldn’t stand not having a high beam. Also, now that I
have remove that set up can I sell that since I don’t think it was even for the SH but “FIT” so it would work kinda thing.
Also I have a stock head light housing on my SH so would I have to butcher that up to make a projector fit? Or is it a whole new assembly?
Or does this fall into that long long list of “ifs”?
I am so lost.

a retrofit is fantastic, its much brighter than the oem garbage and will give you a solid light plus not blind people. really with an hid and a retrofit you dont need a high beam. i ran just the hid in the stock housing and it was brighter than my hi beams were. ill vouch for gixxerjohn, the man does some fantastic work

In another thread, there was talk about how getting a wiring harness upgrade or getting a heavier guage wire (can't remember exacts) will dramatically improve your headlight as well. Does that stand true for HID set ups too? As I said in a previous post I have one with only a low beam and if it was just a little brighter I may go back to it. Thoughts?

Im a dealer for lighting kits, i sell hid's and projectors, i have brand new projectors, and they we have ones from headlights..... all of mine are HID specific ones, as the halogen ones arent really ment for HID's

if you want it done right, well there is 2 ways of doing it, you can mount a projector set up inside your housing and not damage it, or you can hack the snot out of it... its all in how you do it, and how you want to go. I can remove your original reflector housing and make you a base plate to which i mount the projector/projectors.
The kits im selling mainly will be Bi-xenon kits, which will give you a high and low beam, so you have both just like a stock set up...
if there is any other questions, pls feel free to pm me and ill answer all i can for you

hid's dont require you to have a heavy duty wire harness as they draw less current then the normal headlight does, as most hid kits are a 35w kit, which is less then your standard bulb.
Now the start up on the hid kit is higher, which is why i always recommend that you run 1 step up on the headlight fuse, but other then that, nothing else to do, but plug it in, and go....

I have been running a HID projector for a while now and can vouche for the improvement. Its 100 times better. Further distance and clarity then you can get with a reflector, so if any one is sitting on the fence about putting one of these in I would say go for it, you won't regret it.
