Is anyone running a modulator? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I'm trying to decide whether to go with a modulator or HIDs. I do understand one is to be seen better, and the other is to see better, decisions. Too bad I could not have both.
Chad, the guy doing most of them is from PA as am I, but I didn't have mine at inspection. Don't think there's an issue as long as it's housed in the oem DOT housing and the bulb is not higher wattage than allowed.Do the HIDs really make that big of a difference? I've really only seen them on You Tube, can't really tell alot from a video. But they do seem to be popular, so there must be a reason. Anyone from PA know if they are legal. Am I going to have a hard time with them come inspection time.
While I would agree, it is hard to tell from a video, you should be able to tell that there is an improvement. I have a few output shots of a few headlights that I have done if you would like to see them. Without it sounding too corny, it really is a night and day difference. Once you see them, you will never go back. It makes such a huge difference when riding at night. I know that I feel safer, because I am not going to miss something due to lack of light.Do the HIDs really make that big of a difference?

^^^ This. As long as they are in a headlight housing that is marked DOT, it isn't going to be an issue. I have never had issues with inspection. Projector retrofitting has been around for many years. If it wasn't legal, the business wouldn't survive.Chad, the guy doing most of them is from PA as am I, but I didn't have mine at inspection.

I persoanlly do not like the modulators, I have had a few riding buddies that have had them....they all had stories about someone pulling out thinking that the motorcyclist was flashing them to go (that is old school though)Is anyone running a modulator?

Yeah, I am not really a fan either, I would rather do other things to get people's attention.I persoanlly do not like the modulators, I have had a few riding buddies that have had them....they all had stories about someone pulling out thinking that the motorcyclist was flashing them to go (that is old school though)
It is actually a win/win/win, because they are also awesome looking!It seems that HIDs would give you the best of both You would be more visible to other motorists in the daytime due to the brighter light, and also be able to see better at night. Seems like a win/win.
