Only do it if you are doing it properly, taking out the internal reflector and fitting a HID Projector unit, RST steve has some pics somewhere this is the only way you won't blind every other wombles on the road, if you just fit a HID bulb kit you will get poor light scatter, its bright but its ridiculous

here is a kit that uses a projector

you will have to separate the housing, either use a hair dyer to make the silicone gunk pliable or put it in the oven on a low heat for a bit

this is steve's bike
