Headlight Upgrade etc..

Ok I was wondering I was wanting to upgrade my headlights on the 250 to HID kit. Where could I get a SET for cheap online but good quality and My Ninja 'Elektra' is blue and I want blue ones but not completely blue more like 6k to 8k whiteish blue what size should I get to fit is it H4? H7? Etc? Also nooby question what wattage and amp etc should I get? Any help will be appreciated Cheers!

H7

55W

I never messed w/the kits, I just bought the bulbs.

100% these will work but hopefully there's somewhere else that's cheaper.

It's illegal and annoying to put hids in without a projector

a projector is a lens with a cutoff that makes it so you don't blind the **** out of the people in front of you when you use hids.

Best option so far for getting a projector installed, instructions are pretty clear and straight forward.

Please don't throw in HID bulbs without projectors...wut others have said

HID bulbs are not designed for standard reflectors. they make lots of scattered light that goes in all directions. projectors are designed for hid bulbs. do a google search

Projectors make a clean cut-off line and fill in everything underneath that line with light. You can then control the cut-off thingy with your high beam switch to give you "high" beams.

Basically, you can then control the output of the HID bulb so it doesn't accidentally blind people.
