> I rode a ‘short’ 100 mile trip to test out my new HID headlight I installed. Told the wife I had to test it (it was daylight) on Saturday afternoon and was going for a short ride. I got home 2 hours later. Then I wen out again last night to actually test it at night. Only 50 miles last night. The HID works great on low beam, but I’m not really impressed with the high beam. I’m gonna try a different color (4300k) to see if it gets better. The 6000k looks great but supposedly the more yellow it is, the better distance.

The light color you’re using matters? never knew that would make a big difference. I am thinking about going to a dual-headlight system (both on for low and high with a dual filament ). The big single sucks. Any brands anyone would recommend for this kind of stuff?
