I am switching to HDI lights for my 503. I have done this on several applications in the past. Super bright lights, that are very dependable. Below is a link:

Use the kit that has H1 bulbs, they are 1in long and about an inch in Diameter. Also do not buy a motorcycle kit as you will only get one bulb. The kit is $135.00. So not cheap, but the bulbs will not burn out.

I know some of you are running PIAA H6M AVT Bulbs35 for the front and
PIAA XTR WHT 1157 27 for the rear.

As far as cost goes on the PIAA $50.90 for two front bulbs and $18.95 for one rear.

Do that a few times and you might as welll have bought an HDI kit.

K explained a bit

the 5000, 6000k, etc refers to the light color on the kelvin scale.
Typ good hid lights are around 4200K. 5000k is a bit high for Off roading either snow or dirt. You actually loose good light as the Kelvin goes up, although they may look brighter if your looking into them. We are currently looking into a new headlight design that will replace the Hawk headlight.Youll have to do a bit of changes to your elect system to add HID lights. float the ground and add a battery and a reg/rectifier. Have you considered a helmetlight?They do work great. www.cyclopsmotorsports.com
