the wiring is easy… mechanicals are what would be a bit of a challenge

i remeber a guy on the R1 forums took some bimmer HIDS and made housings for them using some can of somesort. looked amazing when finished. hit me a pm and i can find the link for you if you want
thoughts on this setup?
I skimmed the rest, but they do make high/low single bulb HID setups, they work via a moving reflector to change the beam pattern, pricey for a good one. A cheap kit will end up with broken parts in no time.
theres a thread on homemadeturbo.com where the guy is selling mccullough HID’s for reasonable prices… like 250 for a set of 2… check it out… imo they’d be better than the ebay one

most motorcycle reflectors are not designed the same way as in a car so those kits probably wont work

this is what i figured. the chances of the assemly fitting perfect is probably a long-shot too,and i wont be happy with it unless its perfect. Im thinking keeping the single bulb setup thats in it now is the way im going to go.
Next question, is the link i have in the original post a complete setup for what im looking to do?
Preferred brand?
Im willing to pay top dollar for the best HID setup. I dont like cheaping out

If you are going for top dallor, stick with OEM ballast/bulb they are so much better then aftermarket stuff, what kind of bubls is in the 636? 9007?
I suggest finding a cheap headlight for your 636 and retro a pair of bi-xenon projectors, you will love the cut-off and everything. dont buy the lame aftermaket hid kit. they are a waste. oem with color mod owns!

I have had my mccullough set up for a while, no problems, and a few others I know have had them for a couple years now on their cars, no issues, used daily. On a bike… wayy less use.
I think it would be cool to retro a projector in the housing. Keep an eye out for a smashed up car you can snag a headlight/projector and ballast out of

I have HID’s in my R6 and I love them. I got one of those cheap kits of ebay for around $130 shipped. It arrived in like 2 days! I love them. Kinda tricky to find places to hide the ballasts, but other then that, very easy to install. Nick
