try starting the bike with the hid's switch off, you battery might be close to dying and cant start the hids and the bike at the same time.
 
#268 ·
its essentially the same, just without all the cutting.

use the two provided H7 adapter plates when mounting the projectors.
 
#270 ·
The install is mostly the same, but you wont have to trim/cut the reflectors like in the 2006+ models. its all mostly bolt on.
 
#272 ·
Price depends on what options you choose, and your hid kit will not work with these projectors, as your bulbs are not the same size. You can however use the ballasts from your hid kit.

You can price the kit right on my website, with all the options that you want, and then subtract $40 from the total if you want no ballasts.

When ordering, put down in the notes sections "no ballasts" and i will refund you after the order goes through.

The red one's are red, and the yellow one's light up amber/orange

both of these colors are custom made for us, and almost no one carries real ccfl yellow and amber/orange ccfl halos like these.

They have a special color coating from the factory.
 
#277 ·
Sorry about all these quesitons bud but im just trying to figure out what colors i want to do.... With the yellow ones... Would you say they light up more orange or yellow?
 
#278 ·
The yellow painted one's light up orange/amber it doesn't look like regular yellow at all. regular yellow is much more pale in comparison.

they look great, and are a very popular color choice if you want to avoid red/blue and stay on the legal side of colors.
 
#279 ·
I DIG the red ones.... i just dont know what color i want for my front halo. I am getting white for the back one. I have a blue and white bike and am trying to decide between red, blue, or yellow front halo. Only thing thats pushing me away from blue forn one is the blue and white are to much of a close color and i think would blend into each other to much. What do u think would look the best?
 
#280 ·
Personally i like red/white combo the most, but i cant honestly tell you how it will look on a blue/white bike, as i haven't seen that combo yet in person.

Blue/white will look good, the rings are far apart enough to be seen as 2 distinct rings, and should not blend together.
 
#282 ·
sure, you will see that one is white and one is blue :D





The camera made them look dark, they are much brighter in person.
 
#283 ·
LOL Thanks :D I needed that comparison!!!! i knew they would be diff just didnt know about how diff when lit up ;). Is there still a r6-forum discount or no? And also i wont be ordering prolly til next month. Im guesing u have it all in stock ready to ship?
 
#284 ·
yes, you can use the coupon code "r6forum20" to get $20 off and free usa shipping.

for dual angel eyes, make sure you select the no covers option, it will look better that way, and both halos will match.

Next month is fine, i have all my products in stock and ready to ship.
 
#286 ·
no the shroud is the same, the cover is the clear round circle cover that covers the front halo.

The rear larger halo has no clear cover, so if you want both halos to match then select no cover, then both halos will be without a clear cover and will match.

look at this picture, you can see the round clear plastic cover that the halo ring is behind the cover.

 
#288 ·
What if you guys did a flexible strip across the top with the halo? The R6 has such a transformer look to it already it may look kind of cool?

Anyways can't wait to get my set. Still deciding on getting it installed locally or not though.
 
#289 ·
Flexible strips wont fit on top, as there is not enough space between the projector and the front lens, to fit the flexible strips....
 
#290 ·
Here's how mine turned out after I installed them myself. 35w 6k projectors, outer white halos and the Audi style led strips. The camera of course doesn't do it justice, it's from my old iPhone. Thanks to Borka for the assistance.

Hey guys, I've been monitoring this thread closely over the last few weeks, decided to take the plunge and order one of Borka's kits! just a basic single white halo ring with 4300k hid's... the law here In AUS is fairly strict, the more stock I can make it the better! I also bought a cheap headlight assy. from evil bay cause the OEM one's are about $800 ausd a pop :eek5 and will be giving this mod a red hot crack myself.. stay tuned folks, I'll post up pics in his other thread when done ;) can't wait

Cheers
 
#294 ·
haha i guess yamaha mark up their product ;) say dave, you're an electrician.. (i've read the thread front to back.. haha) would you be able to show me a detailed wire diagram from battery to globes with 2 switches; 1 for halo's on/off 1 for HID on/off?? if not.. i'll sus it out.. I'd just like having the confidence behind me :)


cheers buddy
 
#296 ·
I would but I'm still awaiting the kit from America.. acording to the tracking system it's en route from Miami!

anywho, my kit is simple, the hid kit with a single halo ring, but I want two switches one for halo's on/off and on for hid's on/off, unless I can run the halo's with the HId's, in which case I'd only need a switch for hid's on/off.. and make it so the halo's come on with the bike.. thoughts??

sorry for the late reply.. been REALLY BUSY keeping my car on the road :cool:

borka,

Well even though i missed the sale im definitely going to purchase a kit this month. How long do you think it would take to get them here in japan?

as soon as i get my bike back from getting the wheels PC im still gonna attempt to do the install. guess the r33 is going on the back burner for a little.:toocool:
 
#300 ·
Shipping to Japan is usually about 10-15 business days with USPS Priority mail ($48.95), or about 1 week with express mail. ($69.95).


can someone post a pic of the output of the projectors in a 06-07 i wanna compare mine to another because mine is garbage
What is wrong with yours?

The headlights if everything is installed properly, should be SUPER bright, as these Mini H1 projectors are one of the best projectors on the market.

let me know what is wrong with your output, so i can troubleshoot this issue.
 
#301 ·
theyre def bright but the beam pattern sucks its the issue with the halo hitting the headlight and cant be adjusted properly. causes the beam to only be projected like 10ft infront which greatly decreases visibility and defets the purpose of gettin projectors. just seeing if everyone with the 06-07 is dealing with this and dont care or am i the only one thats bothered by it
 
#302 ·
the 06/07 headlights are smaller than 08+, so its tough to have these projectors adjusted properly. But you can adjust the left headlight high enough so its not pointing down and points forward. you basically need to bring all 3 adjusters on the left headlight all the way back, so remove the rear dust cap, and adjust the 3 screws on the back of the left headlight all the way clockwise. be very careful not to strip them, so if you feel more resistance, then its all they way in.

Right now for 06/07 bikes i have a new projector model, which looks the same as the Mini H1, but is not as deep, and it fits better in 06/07 headlights, and allows full adjust-ability.

in 08+ bikes this is not an issue, since the headlights are deeper.
