Stock vrs HID ?

RE: Stock vrs HID ?
Just installed my bulbs today, so I will see how much difference they make on the trip home. I switched to a blue mirror shield on my Scorpion Helmet so of course it makes night driving a little bit worse on the non-lit highway trek home. It was more white in the garage when I tested after install, but that's not a really good test to go by.

RE: Stock vrs HID ?
For those of you who just change out the bulbs to HID bulbs, what fuse did you install to replace the stock 10 amp one? Unfortunately, I didn't test the high beams in the garage and when I hit them on the way home (going 85mph) the lights instantly went out....not good! So I pulled off to the side to see if it was what I though, just the fuse and a co-worker who I just passed pulled over to give me some light and to make sure I was alright. Checked it and sure enough blown, I just shoved another 10amp back in and didn't switch to high beams the rest of the way home.
My light is definately brighter now, with the tinted lens on it looked like how it did with a clear lens and stock light bulbs. So I'm happy with that. I'm going to look for 20amp fuses to put in, but I just wanted to know if maybe the 15 was good enough too. I don't want to melt my harness since I use my high beams quite a bit when driving(even during the day).

one thing to keep in mind when getting new bulbs.. is to make sure that you keep the watts of the bulbs they same as stock wattage.. If you run a higher watt bulb than stock you will chance melting the conector like I did on my bike..
