antzgarcia 04-10-2009, 05:50 PM Sharp HID's and sharphid.com they are fairly good no problems installing just don't drop the screw to the light bulb bracket like I did or you will have to take apart your upper like I did. The instructions that came with the kit are no good really but her is the link to a better one http://www.gsxr.com/showthread.php?t=62038 posted on our website by nicemike1k thank you if you read this your instructions really helped. the kit looks nice pictures below and good pricing too about $80 for the whole kit I got the 8000k's pics below.

I think they gave you the wrong bulb or something...8000k are more blue like mine....i put the 8000's in my bike and they look like this. my bro's bike is on the right with a stock headlight.

did you get the slim ballast kit or the regular one and where did you end up mounting them???
antzgarcia 04-11-2009, 10:11 PM I got the slim ballast and I mounted it right where i am pointing in this picture

also my kit is a 55 watt kit has more wattage thus making the color less color full and the light more bright.
tdubdw750 04-11-2009, 10:44 PM ^^ gotcha...I mounted mine on each side of the triple tree like this picture haha...they had the adhesive on the back and then I used zip ties to make sure they stay on there..works out great!

KazeSpec 09-21-2009, 07:32 PM so how do the highs work with the HID's on the k2's? sorry just got my bike a month ago still learning about it
rob-cyn 09-21-2009, 07:51 PM So are they pretty much pug and play ?
mig1289 09-22-2009, 12:59 AM so how do the highs work with the HID's on the k2's? sorry just got my bike a month ago still learning about it
It depends on if you get the bi xenon kit or just the regular low beam kit. i have a k2 as well but chose a different route. I retro fit projectors from an infiniti fx35 into my head light housing and can use high beams as well as low beams. It gives it a completely different look as well as you direct the beam of light instead of having it scattered and possibly blinding others. My avatar is a picture of my head lights.
KazeSpec 09-22-2009, 05:55 PM that looks pretty sick! do you have a DIY on how to retro them?
mig1289 09-22-2009, 06:55 PM i used the write up here to get most of my information

also http://www.hidplanet.com/main.html <-- their forum was useful.
http://store.theretrofitsource.com/index.php <-- i purchased some parts from there as well as used their forum.
a few other poeple on this forum have done a retrofit but mostly on the newer style bikes, i wanted to try something different.
P.S. like most projects craigslist and ebay can be your friend.
jmad081 09-23-2009, 10:13 PM the hids look perfect! I got mine off a power seller on ebay for $49.95 shipped. All my friends use them on their bikes and cars. It's a bit more for the slim ballasts.

Very nice, thank you so much for those links. Very informative
Narada 11-18-2009, 05:56 PM so how do the highs work with the HID's on the k2's? sorry just got my bike a month ago still learning about it
The kit is plug and play. all you have to do is take out the OEM light bulb and put in the ones that come with the kit, then connect the wires from the bulb to the original wires that plugged into the OEM bulb. its that easy
2002GSXR1000 11-18-2009, 06:40 PM I got my HID kit for $40 shipped. Why is everyone paying more?:shifty

You can also find the answer here: hid kits (http://www.blindinghid.com)
Narada 11-29-2009, 05:22 PM I got my HID kit for $40 shipped. Why is everyone paying more?:shifty
where did you find them for $40? are they good quality or is it cheep shit china stuff?
2002GSXR1000 11-30-2009, 11:42 PM where did you find them for $40? are they good quality or is it cheep shit china stuff?
I got mine off of ebay. I have the phillips ballasts. Says made in USA on the back.
The box they came in says Xentec.
I have two of there kits. I have had one for over a year with no issues, and the other for 6 months also with no problem. They come with a 3 year warranty.
Autoluminate is the seller. You will have to let them know you only need one ballast HID bulb since its for a motorcycle.
Looks like ill be grabbing one of the kits. They look good. :thumbup:
I plan to go 8000k, dont want it all blue but some HID blue looks nice
shavedcrx 12-21-2009, 06:27 PM i want some hids now. anyone put both bulbs in on a k1-k3? just wondering if it would be too bright with two? thanks

BlurryVision 02-13-2010, 01:53 AM This is a great write and recently bought an HID kit for my 06' 1000, I do have one question is the relay harness necessary or at least recommended when installing this on your bike?
