    Hello all i have hids in all my vehicles and thought it would be cool to add them to my xj 750 as well but couldnt figure out what size to get? Also do i get bixenon bulbs or are the high and low seperate beam bulbs? I think the size might be h4 9003 but i couldnt find only single bulbs sold seperatley either. Hmmm. Thanks guys let me know. Oh also looking for the 10000k color if anyone has a link to a kit on ebay or somewhere. Thanks

    ^this....and do you even know the output of a 10000k system. nowhere near as good as 4500k-6000k granted they are in proper HID housings

    10000k is off the cree led chart for white leds.
    something that color in a led would be called blue

    And therein lies the key to the whole idea.

    Put an HID bulb in a "normal" or even H4-intended reflector/lens unit, and all that happens is light gets splattered all over the place and the effectiveness of the HID bulb is largely negated.

    Instead, I would recommend an upgrade to a good quality, motorcycle-spec H4 unit over the standard sealed beam. It does make a world of difference and is a valuable improvement over the stock unit.
