I installed a DDM Tuning kit in early December '12. My bulbs were 35W, 6K temperature. I love them! So much more brightness in front of the bike. For the money, it is absolutely the best farkle for the bike. No canbus issue at all. Install was easy and straight-forward. I put my ballasts in a recessed area of the mirror housing, using velcro strips.
By the time you are done with harness and capacitor and mounting brackets they are more like $64.00 each
I went with Yana-shiki 6K no purple, no blue! Bright & white. Been in for 2 years, Flawless and a 2 year warranty.

All balllasts and bulbs are not created equal. The Yanashiki is what our local BMW dealer decided to stock.[/QUOTE
The Yanashiki conversion kit is more like $80 USD! Am not sure if is that much better than the DDM kit. Yet, there is so much to chose from, am not sure which to get? And only 6 months warranty... Is it all plug and play?
Looking for an HID Conversion kit for my R1200RT. I know that a lot of members have used the 1offmotorsports products, but they are no longer in business. What other vendors do you all suggest?
Thanks,
Chris
While any HID conversion will undoubtedly be superior to the halogen in brightness (lumens). The big issue is what does the light pattern look like. Both conversions (H11) I've tried in my R1200R just threw a blob of light down the road. Although it was bright, in reality couldn't see as well as with a slightly hotter than standard halogen.
So do people wink their hi beam at you when driving at night?
Does the light pattern have a sharp defined cut off line on the upper edge?
Does the low beam look oval, lighting the edges of the road?
