Oddometer: 426 Well for starters on HID conversions, most people
simply use a re-based bulb to upgrade their halogen reflector
headlights. There are many different types of halogens bulbs
used in auto's/bikes, eg. H1, H3 H4, H6, H7, H8, H9, H10, H11,
H13, 9003, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, 9008 (some of these are the
same bulb). in bikes, a majority of them use a 9003/H4 bulb.
They can also use others types as well like a H7 etc...  Doing a
simple upgrade like this consists of a HID capsule, HID ballast,
cable(s) to hook up, and some hardware for mounting. The upgrade
can take anywhere from 15 minutes to hours to complete depending
how hard it is get at your bulbs, and finding a suitable place
to mount the ballast.  Each bulb requires its own ballast to
fire up the HID capsule. When the lights are turned on, the
ballast ignites the gases inside the bulb using over 20,000V.
