What the heck, dropped by the local import shop and picked up some RAZO headlights. I put a set in my motorcycle a month or so ago to get more light and have been really happy with them so I decided to spring for a H1 set for the S2k's highbeams... not to mention take care of the contrasting yellow Hi's with the whiter HID's.

These are RAZO's slightly higher color temp bulbs, #BG104, burning at 4100k (HID's typically run 4150-4250k). Although they are not *as* white/blue as the HID's, I've tried bluer bulbs before and they don't do anything for visibility, in fact they make it worst. These bulbs tend to run close to pure white and provide awesome nighttime lighting. The other nice thing is they still draw a stock 55w but put out the light equivalent of a 110w bulb through the use of Xenon gas.

anyway, here's a pic that doesn't do it justice. If you look at the flare off the lights you can see a color difference.

One might also look into the Solaris bulbs. The Honda S2K high beam uses H1 type.

I will probably do the same but WHY! I like never use my high beams but is it a considerable difference? Pictures dont do justice.

A necessity for nighttime carving!

Yes, so if they flash their lights at me, I usually show them what the brights are really like!
