HID headlight conversion.

Update:

After some research I found another good HID mod for the newgen. Still looking for pregen HID mods.

Here's one of the ex500 so I know the pregen is possible.

Looking really good!!!

Can you give me an idea of how I'd do that acrylic lens on my pregen? obviously the same vacuum forming process, but I'm not sure how to make/buy the setup. Would you be interested in doing it for me if I pay you and supply the OE lens for reference? The sill fluted lens really kills my cutoff.

Ha, I wish I could take credit for this but it was done by a fellow redditor on the r/motorcycles subreddit. Apparently the lights run more efficient so even though they are brighter they put out less heat so it won't melt the acrylic. Here's the link if you want to run some questions by him. Pretty neat stuff.

The hidplanet forums have tons more with all kinds of bikes.

A few of us have done retrofits here and we even have a couple DIY's in the sticky for Ninjettes. No need to venture off, Ninjette has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Very intredasting! I have a J headlight with a cracked lens that I bought to experiment on a F bike's upper fairing with. I also have a J headlight with a corroded reflector. I'd like to have two functional headlights for two different bikes so taking off the good lens and making a mold for a new lens sounds like a start.
