Nice pics, thanks. Can we get some road light output pics for an even better idea of power. I have my heads/fogs coming, I might just use the fogs and resale the heads if it's too blinding. Has anyone tried those HID headlights on ebay, they have the purple bubble, which is sometimes clear. They're angel halo led's. I wonder about light output with those, I remember Brian from Pismo had them with HID's and in all the night pics he BLOWS away everyone @ comp hill, they're pretty attractive but I remember he had condensation problems.

Are they the same bulbs.. just different housing... hella head lights vs. harley head lights?

If so the Harley's look whiter... Which is more of what I am looking for...

Same bulbs just different lamps..Its the way the photos were shot thats making one look whiter than the other. I think the 4300K will look most like oem and be the whitest..

Hard to tell with the comparison, but I see less of a hot spot and better cut-off with the Hellas.

Hey Tuff...how are the cutoffs on these lights? Is the cutoff as good as stock? I had some HID's before and I blinded everyone.

I had the stock lamps on for a few days but took them off, they were way to harsh and blinding...These Hella lamps are ideal IMO for HID's....The ultra flat black housing are more suited for HID's, the light beam is more concentrated VS the stock which is very scattered thus producing glare..
