    Not sure if this subject has been beasted before so here goe's the question.
    I would like the front light to look like the flash cars that you can spot against the main stream (ie a nice blue cop in the mirror look) Tweeks have loads of so called ice this and white light that but is there a bulb off the shelf that gives you that special look?:big_boss:

    I'm not sure but I think you've got to have self levelling devices to have White LED running lights, which puts bikes out of the loop, which may mean the best you can do is something like Osram Night Breakers.

    Ken is spot on! Night breakers are about the best you can get really unless you go hid.

    I've got blue-ish white bulbs in mine, didnt need any levelling or anything.. i stand out better now, instead of that yellowish light that blends in.

    Ken can you remember a bloke walking in front of your bike with a candle in the smog? Things have moved on a bit since then.

    Ken is quite correct.

    They are both standard 12V 55W H7 bulbs. You can replace them with road legal Xenon 'Ice Blue' blubs which give that whitish blue light.

    Do night breakers only come in packs of two? At least I'll always have a spare, I suppose.

    I sell Osram night breakers as my no1 uprated bulbset in my carshop.I use these in all my cars and will put a set in the blade.They give a blue tint plus give a crystal clear view. As for ebay cheap blue bulbs a lot of them are not e kite marked which means they are not tested by euro regs and are shite plastic melting tubes instead of glass .I proved it the other day by telling a customer to try night breakers instead of his ebay 100wtt 472's or I'll give him his money back.He bought another set.That says it all.Hope that helps u. PS Be carefull wth the hid kits they are very bulky very heavy especially the cheap ones.I'd love hids on my blade but not researched which are good and which are shite.My eyes are sourcing.
