ranshee Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm not shure if HID lights will work on stock lights. If I'm not mistakin you have to buy a whole set up in order to run HID lighting. And I know the kit is not cheap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 True HID's will run you around $600 for the cheapest variety. What you're probably thinking of is super white or blue bulbs that are made to look like HID's. You can pick these up at pretty much any autoparts store for about $20. I'm not sure what kind of bulb the stock banshee light uses but they're 35w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoking Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 yeah if you are looking for the Hid style bulbs ricky stator sells a Zenon H6 stock replacement bulb . It will give you that white/blue light you are looking for. Go to rickystator.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjernigan Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I thought that the stock lights are 30w. If this is true then will the H5xenon prove to be to high of a wattage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) The stock lights are 35w. Not sure which H5 Xenon your talking about. The H5/H3/H6/etc. designation is the shape of the bulb base. So if you need a bulb that's an H5, you look for a H5 bulb in the color you want with the correct wattage. By the way...if any of you actually want true HID but don't wanna spend all the cash, this link might be a good option.

banshee ace Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I put a set of truck fog lights on my shee and they look great but you loose dims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00pstinks Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 look on ebay. you can find cheap hid lighting systems for around 250 or so with the ballast. you will have to find a rectifier, and capacitor to run em... but it will be well worth it. no halogen light will match the look of the HID's. i did a project like this on my gsxr 750 track bike. i had no battery, starter... but used a stock alternator to power a capacitor, then wired the hid ballast to the cap. trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoking Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) If you are going to run hid you will need an aftermarket stator. Older generation hid lights like what Hella uses are good but you have to find room to mount the ballast, cap or batterypack, reg/rectifier which are pretty big. The company I work for sells the newer generation hid technology which is about 1/3 the size of the older stuff. Hid lights are the way to go but you need to set them up correctly. You are looking at about 200-250watts of light from each bulb and it only pulls 55watts or draw. Here is a pick of a set of our 8" race lights.
