I was looking at these lights and a I know there is a few Euro rides in the forum and i was wondering if these lights are legal en Europe: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=360137214532&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK %3AMEWAX%3AIT Thanks |

We're not allowed to have blue headlights over here. Looks like police etc. |

8000K wouldn't give you much visible light anyway. You are better off with 4300-5000K. I have 6000K on my bike and even those are too "blue". Those lights would not be "legal" here either. |

That kit would be allowed here in the Netherlands. I do agree that 8000K is too blue. I'm almost sure that the police in Germany will make you stop. Lights and exhaust are a big issue in Germany. |

The higher kelvin rated modules will actually put less light on the road from the research I have done. 4000-5000K is the natural range, and anything beyond that is being filtered. |

Right.... I can see the reflections off road signs in broad daylight with my 8000k 50w HIDs. Oh, the 4300k 50w on my car can melt the bumper of the car in front. |

Thanks I will check it out. Not sure I am going to go with HIDs or not, but it sure seems like you get a lot of bang for your buck |
