Yesterday, I had my 12,000 mi. service done at Ventura BMW and I also had them put in the Philips xenon HID low beam kit for my bike.
The light color is incredible, but I'd have to say that the stock K12S headlight system covered the road almost as well as this kit does. The BIG difference is, you get NOTICED by the cages. I had to split traffic on Hwy. 1 and the 405 Fwy. back home and it was already dark.
The cages seemed to part for me faster and many more seemed to move over to give me space to split traffic. I believe that the intensity and color of the light grabs people's attention.
I rode next to some high end BMW cars and my headlight color was identical to the car's HID lights. So the quality of the lighting seems to be up to par with the car headlights.
Price: almost $500.00 USD after the labor charges.
Another downside: The light draws a different amount of voltage so the "bulb out" icon on the computer display remains on.
I'm working night shift for 3 months, so if this attention getting light saves my bacon just once while commuting, then it will have been worth it.
