Whats in take to get on the buy list?

Jeff, I didn't see your post here until after I'd ordered the parts for Brian and I.  I'll call the vendor back and see if another set can get added on.  Price ended up being $16.00 per set mailed to me.  Priority mail on to you probably another five bucks or so.  Will see if another pair can be added on to the order and let you know.

Thanks, but we're having tacos for dinner tonight.  How 'bout some pizza instead?

I can't believe you asked for that?

How long will this price be good for? Is it too late to get on the band wagon I can send you paypal to cover everything including shipping + tacos.

Mark, I've got to come clean here.  As good a deal as I thought 103 and I were scoring, I ended up screwing us out of a couple bucks a piece.

After seeing Jeff's post I emailed the company and got a phone call back from them.  Got some real nice kid on the phone.  He called me Mr. Carey.  The boy quickly explained that it was going to be ok and that the friend could get the same $16.00 price.  They sell on eBay too and that's the regular price there.  If you're buying more than one set it's even a little bit cheaper.

So as good a deal as I thought 103 and I had scored; well, we still did ok.   To get a pair for $16.00 go right here:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200084870061

I just checked and that's a currently active listing for some more of the lights.

Hey, Don, no worries!  I just appreciate you chasing these down for us!

I must have missed something here.  Don, are these bulbs for the running lights and look good with the HID headlight?

That's it exactly Ernie.  Or at least that's the hope.  The color temp on the new headlights I put in is 8000k.  The Harley headlight (I was told by a local tech here who seemed to know what he was taking about) is about 7200k.

With either the stock spotlight bulbs come across as a harsh yellow in comparison.  My spotlight bulbs had been previously changed when one burned out.  I'd replaced them both with something brighter and "bluer" than the originals.  They still looked dull and ugly compared to the HID.

A bit of surfing found these 881 bulbs advertised as also being 8000k color temp.  Being from different mftrs of course they won't be a dead on match.  But they'll have to be much much closer.  And any suggestion of "blueness" is going to look a lot better setting side by side with the HID headlights.

For anyone with the Harley HID headlight I had a conversation yesterday with the tech at the local shop.  Asking what he'd done as I remembered his bike looking ok at night.  A nice match actually.  He said he'd tried 6000k bulbs and 8000k bulbs.  The 8000k bulbs looked better.  He described a tiny bit bluer looking much better than anything that was even a little bit yellower in comparison.

I was obviously considering the other direction.  Thinking rearward, however, my first reaction would also be to expect enough room.  Basing it on how bar beyond the headlight bucket you have to reach in there to get at the rear most of the two little nuts that hold that top piece of trim on.  I seem to remember that being pretty deep.  Easy enough to find out though.  Call and ask them how deep the bulb is than yank the headlight bucket and see if it'll fit.

stuck my hand behind the nacell today and theres about 1/2" behind the plug to the neck of the frame

Group buy?  I'd be interested in both the headlight and the spots

Ernie, the spot bulbs get through that eBay seller.  It was the same price for one as for several.

Which way are you thinking about for a HID headlight?  The Harley kit or the package like I just did in your existing housing?

I don't remember if you've got the original housing in yours or had changed to that dual bulb housing.  If you've changed to the dual bulb housing the lights I used allow use of a HID lamp for both high and low beam and those low power consumption digital ignitors.  Along with that it's also a less than half hour install.

If you've still go the H4 bulb in the stock single element housing look at that one Neal was illustrating earlier in this thread.  It would also allow dual beam HID function but with a bit more involved in the hook up.  Still not difficult.  But a bit more involved in wiring in a relay.

You're screwed.

looks like i would need to go with a dual bulb setup like you are running. could be a bigger budget then i want to put into the head light

[erniezap]

Don,

I have the stock H4 light.  I was thinking of the Bi-Xenon H4 for both high and low beams.  It's $324, but for 2 or more they list it at $304.
