Changing the stock headligh lamps is a problem? Hahahahahahaha Wait till you have to change the lamps in the headlight cluster!!! Gotta take the front of the motorcycle off!! Now that's a PITA. HID's, no thanks, I tried that one and got tired of the piss poor Chinese quality on both the ballasts and the lamps. Before you start up on me, I worked in the lighting industry prior to retirement and know a great deal about HID lighting. What the Chinese are doing is giving you the stuff that doesn't pass muster.
