TOPIC: HID conversion for the New VMax Installed

Re:HID conversion for the New VMax Installed 4 years 3 months ago #31

I do this MOD on all my motorcycles it a great addition to the bike and your personal safety. Congrats and thanks for the pics. I will post pics of mine when I get it done. These are pics of the HID on my Raider. Pure white. I will probably do the same on the Vmax although that Blue is great looking.. Mine was the 6000?? I think. Super white. That shadow is 100 yards long	Theohiomike OFFLINE Gold Max Posts: 1091 Thank you received: 3

Mike, I agree. This give some super bright light. I went for the deep blue (I beleive it is actually 10K) for the difference in looks. Sure gets everybody's attention. Be safe! fxstein	fxstein OFFLINE Moderator Time to Ride! This is VMax! Posts: 6323 Thank you received: 432

Oliver or Mike - Did you modify or remove the metal shield on the HID bulb housing? Brad	bwinston OFFLINE Site Sponsor Posts: 253 Thank you received: 3

No - Left it as is. Works very well for me. Did you get the same kit or a different one?	fxstein OFFLINE Moderator Time to Ride! This is VMax! Posts: 6323 Thank you received: 432

I got the same kit as you, but it shoots the beam way high, even at the lowest adjustment. I have got to be missing something... I even tried with both sets of bulbs.	bwinston OFFLINE Site Sponsor Posts: 253 Thank you received: 3

Sounds like the bulb is upside down.	fxstein OFFLINE Moderator Time to Ride! This is VMax! Posts: 6323 Thank you received: 432

Do you run with the shield on top or under the bulb? We tried both ways with only varying degrees of failure. I am thinking of cutting the shield off one of the bulb mounts and giving that a try...	bwinston OFFLINE Site Sponsor Posts: 253 Thank you received: 3

You need the shield and it needs to be below the bulb. Make sure the H4 bulb is fully seated. If you cut it off it will become permanent Hi beam only.	fxstein OFFLINE Moderator Time to Ride! This is VMax! Posts: 6323 Thank you received: 432

I modified nothing in the bucket either. Here is a close up shot with the bulb off. I wish i could find a 10000 with High and low beam. That would be ideal.	Theohiomike OFFLINE Gold Max Posts: 1091 Thank you received: 3
