Question Demon eyes the only real HID retrofit available?

Are the demon eyes/angel eyes the only HID headlight housings made for the 2008-2012 Ninja? I'm looking for a direct replacement as I don't want to modify my current housing and I'm not that mechanical. They are $400 Is there any place to get these cheaper?

doing it yourself will be cheaper.....

custom lights like this are always expensive.

Dual High Beams and Dual Low Beams
Won't blinding the oncoming traffics
300% brighter than stock holagen headlight
No need to modify stock headlight, directly fit.

Good to know it won't blinding the oncoming traffics and it's brighter than holagen, directly fit too!

I am running a regular H7 bulb as my high beam. My low beam is 190% brighter then stock as I'm running an H7/H9 hybrid with no problems with the stock wiring and full length life from the bulb with 700 more lumens

So far this is actually holding me over and it was a huge improvement with the exact same beam pattern as H7's.

I'm not good with doing it yourself things and 400 is just to much for me right now. My next bike will be easier to put them in so I'm not worried. If I have extra money in the future, I'd consider this though.

And he's saying that he doesn't want to crack open the OEM housing...............not sure how much easier he can make it? He wants something that's completely together that he can buy, but he doesn't really want to spend $400.

Looks like he's outta luck, you get what you pay for and if you want it all together you have to fork over the $400.

It's really not that hard, I bought the kit a month ago and it's ready to go on the bike. I've wired and tested it. Opening the case is hard but if worse comes to worse, you'll need $130 for a new one. Opening the case was a pain but I dont think you can really screw that up. That $400 projector doesnt talk about wiring so it might not be as pnp as you think.

The only problem I've found with the bkmoto kit is the wiring harness is bit shorter than what I expected. Either I splice the projector control end or the battery terminal leads to make it longer. I'm still debating due to mounting space on which end but I was leaning towards the battery end. Hopefully, I'll have it in this weekend and have pics.

I got the whitish/blue lights with blue halos and corner LED lights, 250 bucks to bkmoto and 300 for the install... One pic is low beams (one halo not on) and the other is high beams (both halos on). The bike shop said they needed an extra part to make both halos work for low/high beam. Once that is in, these are going to look bad ass!

On the 300 only one light is on for low beams and then both for high beams. So with these aftermarket kits both lights are lit up for low and high beam. These lights make a HUGE difference at night. With the stock headlights I struggled to see at night.

If someone would figure out how to put a set of FXR projectors in these headlights, I'd be impressed. BKmoto ones are too gaudy (angel/demon eyes) for my taste.

if they don't autolevel then you will still blind people when turning with bixenons. doing it yourself is not hard. and costs about 10x less

I tried to contact the maker on eBay who has the drop-in ready kit ($400) but he won't get back to me.
Maybe someone else can and try a group buy
Its not like he's moving tons of inventory. I didn't see any sell in the past 6 months according to his profile

Don't buy KTautopart. Had them on my r6. Demon eyes burnt out and the plastic lens popped off in the housing. pita and not worth it. bkmoto is said to be the best of the lot.

@gibtzumich318: that looks so awesome! I'd love my ninjette to have those eyes. Shame the kit is so wonky to fit. If I was paying that much I'd want something as close to plug and play as possible.
