Took my bike to a garage that a friend of mine works at to get an hid kit fitted that I've had sitting around for a couple weeks, I would have fit it myself but it was raining and my garage is filled with crap atm, so anyway went from the garage to go grab something to eat, came back and he had managed to break the hid kit somehow, annoyed me as I'd spent a while researching whether or not it was worth putting on, and when it was in the reflector the light beam was actually pretty decent. It just isn't expected to come back and find it broken aha. Just wanted to share my annoyance.

I thought HID was only allowed on projector head lamps?

You can buy kits that go into normal reflectors, some people say the light beam is terrible and others say they are excellent, technically they are illegal.

"Allowed"?

In the words of Barack H.Obama: "YES. WE. CAN!"

I've never understood the buying of aftermarket extras, only to get some garage to badly fit them. They're not going to take the care that the owner would, and they rush them just like they rush everything. I would never get an electrical job done at a garage. They're just not tidy enough with the wires.

I know, and I won't be doing it again. Evil or Very Mad
