Don, just got back.  Prolly oughta go with the ones you had scoped out.  The Lumincs Hyper White are only 5,150K.  If I'd have seen the ones you found, I'd have got those instead.  Maybe they just weren't out yet.    Anyways, I'll probably just go ahead and get some of those Luminics Pure Blue jobbies, myself.

Before you do wait and I'll give them a call.  Will try to hit them up for a discount for three sets.  One set each for the bikes and one spare bulb for each of us (cause you know eventually one of those little buggers will burn out).

Works for me!  Thanks, buddy!

Cool.  Will hit them up tomorrow or Monday; whenever they're open again.

No hurry on my end!

Well yeah, yours aren't as ugly as mine  !

Brian, before we get something on the way take a look at this image.  The HID lights on my bike in the images earlier in this thread are reported as 8000k.  All the various literature and propogande I've seen the last few weeks while really looking at this hard again tended to suggest that that was the most common HID color temp as well.  8000k is the light second from the right in this image.

6000k is one step to the left of that.  The 881s in that ad posted earlier are advertised as 6000k.  But I've found sources for 8000k 881s also.  Let me know which you think yours is closest to and we'll proceed accordingly.

[110tHunDer]

Hmmmm, it's tough to say for sure, but I don't think mine's as blue as the second from the right one.  I think the middle one is closer to mine.  But, having said that, I'd rather be a little more on the blue side than the yellow or white side, so if you're going to opt for the 8,000K 881s and can get a few bucks off on a set of 3, I'm in!

Just to clarify, mine's more like the one I circled, I think.  The 8,000K is the one next to it on the right?

Ok, the one circled is 6000k.  All those color temps are regularly common options (and apparently have little to do with how far down the road they shine).  Will see what we can come up from a bulb seller later today and let you know.  Whey they get mailed to you, need any tacos too  ?

As can be seen from the low beam photo above, however, now I need to find some spotlight bulbs with a blue tint to them.  Anyone got any ideas  ?
 

Very, very informative Don! Great detail and nice setup you've done! You need to publish that in the Bagger Mag

This is what I'm running in my spots with updated lenses from an '06. KYO Super Beam EX 881 Xeon white.

I'm currently using a PIAA Xtreme White Plus headlight bulb.

The KYO bulbs are almost a perfect to my PIAA headlight. They're much brighter than the oem spotlights. For the price, you wouldn't be out much if they didn't match your new HID setup perfectly. They also have other options you can look into.

Hope this helps,

Grover

  I finished reading the rest of this thread after I posted the above info. I see you and Brian already have it figured out The site above also sells Luminics... Is there a price difference from where you were looking before?

Jeff, I don't know, but I'm sure Don will come up with something entertaining!

[RJ749]

Let us know how well they work toward the blue scale, I changed out to some on mine but they are still too yellow for me compared to my HID, even though they are supposed to be blue.

Did mine by cutting out the stock bulb and replacing it.

Looking forward to your report.

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