NOW WITH HID SHOTS… THE HID headlights came in tonight… Despite a pain in the ass install, due to having to switch the polarity of the ballasts to make them function properly… I’m very happy with the results, I can see unbelievably better at night now. 5000k HID headlights (DDMtuning kit) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor005.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor005.jpg) Low beam only (I love the cutoff) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor002-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor002-1.jpg) High beam (I took this a bit premature, before the bulb warmed up) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor004.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/Motor004.jpg) This will become my HID thread, as soon as they come in and I install them, but until then… I rode over to the ocean and took some pics tonight… I need a better camera, but for no tripod and night shots, I’m ok with how they turned out… The first couple i was trying different iso’s to see how much brighter I could make the orange stand out and moon too… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3928.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3928.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3930.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3930.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3924.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3924.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3913.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3913.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3909.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Willybeen/IMG_3909.jpg) Btw, if the space shuttle launches tomorrow and I go watch it, I’ll take pics of that too, I should be able to get extremely close (supposedly right behind mission control) We’ll see. ---

(I was just cruising so no big deal, I doubt I’ll ever go out to “ride” like i used to down here… maybe just buy an SV like the cool guys. or 636 again, time will tell) ---

I wish the camera was better, then the noise would be reduced… oh well… I have other things I’d rather spend my money on, other than a camera. Glad to hear its starting to warm up there. I miss a lot of people… ☹ ---
