Tell him you'll pay for one of the sets ordered by one of the twenty fuckin' deadbeats that are holding this thing up for all of us. Then ask him to set a deadline for payments, hopefully soon, and anybody who hasn't paid up by then is left out. Over thirty have already been paid for, so we get the best price anyway. This isn't an adult day care center, fercryinoutloud! It's starting to look like I may not be sporting a set of these in time for WFO!

Yep, it's too late. I already rounded it out to an even 50 on the last morning of the GB.Is it too late to round out the GB to an even 50 sets?
So, for those of you running these already, how long from switch-on until good usable brightness, if not full?These are "The Sheet", If I had any extra cash I'd get a second set for my truck!
The behavior is quite similar to your HID headlights.
When they are cold, the first time you fire off the PHIDs, yes, it's a good 5-7 seconds to maximum lumen output.
After they are warmed-up, reaching full brightness is significantly shorter, on the order of 2-3 seconds, tops.
At least, this is how my PHIDs have worked for the past 2 1/2 years now...
From the group buy page:Hello, ...I was just wondering if anyone has received their PHIDs from the group buy yet? -Jon
So, looks like about June 26th before we see the light(s), right after the days start getting shorter (for all those without PHID's).Current lead time from the time the group order is placed to shipment is a minimum of 45 days. The order was placed from the supplier on 05/12/06.
Are you planning to do something to the headlights that will make them use more power than stock? Or maybe hoping to use an upgraded stator and leave the stock power-hungry headlights in place? Otherwise, why wait for the stator issue before messing with the headlights?I think that I may just go with the Stock headlights and the PHID's. I may wait for all of this Stator stuff to get ironed out before I do the headlights. What are all of the rest of you guys going to do with your setup?
Er, no, this is incorrect.I've already added the BiXenon H4 HID kit, which runs 50 watts less than the stock low beams. With the PHID's on, the bike is still consuming almost 80 watts less than with stock high beams.
along with my assumption that the stock H4 bulbs, rated at 60/55 watts, meant that they were using 60 each on low beam and 55 each on high. That's how the numbers got skewed.The HID setup - both bulbs together - consume only 70-watts after startup
YES --- got my lights today --Hello, ...I was just wondering if anyone has received their PHIDs from the group buy yet? -Jon
Check your PM boxWhere is the best place to get ahold of the BiXenon H4 HID kit?
The bulbs consume 35-watts each (thus 70-watts for the pair)... but each ballast also consumes ~ 7-watts (after the bulb is ignited and warmed up). So... ~ 42-watts per lamp setup.Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was using some info you provided earlier on the HID numbers:
The HID setup - both bulbs together - consume only 70-watts after startup
What!? If those damn things show up around here today, while I'm at work and can't quietly intercept them, I'm gonna have some splainin' to do. I was counting on that 45 day lead time. Don't even have the brackets ordered yet.YES --- got my lights today -- nice box on the front step when I got home. --

That will be easy. "It's so I can still see AND you can have heated clothing, once I upgrade the alternator, of course....YOU gotta figure out how to explain why those little lights cost as much as they do... :dntknw:
