Replacing HID bulbs in 99q

[99qdriver]

I need to replace the bulbs in my 99Q. Is this an easy task? Do I have to remove the entire light assembly?

It's easy. Removal of the airbox and battery is required.

You will also need to cut the ear for the saftey screw to get at them.

The bulbs are very expensive, if you didn't know that already. I have one that will be for sale within a week. Let me know.

Check out the caveats on cheap aftermarket HID bulbs and the discussions on Kelvin ratings, actual brightness vs ratings and false impressions of same.

To improve light range/output requires at least one of the following:*More wattage*Different (improved) technologyor*different reflector (to reshape the beam in a tighter pattern)

Remember what Robert Heinlein said: "TANSTAAFL".(There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch")

I think that's heck of a good price. No offense was intended. You didn't specify that in your post, and a lot of guys get taken by the less scrupulous sellers on egay. Since you already bought yours though, my words were not aimed at you, but intended as a warning to others who may be in the same boat later on.

Congatulations on making such a good deal.

[Q_SHIP]

Oh no offense taken. I got a great deal.

for those who are intrested, this is the seller I bought from. Even could be nice to buy an extra set.
