Put a nice little 20 mile ryde in earlier today. I can tell my fuel mileage will be lower because I love the sound of the intake when I hammer on it. Oh well, its a give and take thing...LOL

Finally got thru my Gremlins and the HID'sare up and running. Thanks to NMN, Doc and Joe for all of the help. It only took me 3 days...LOL
What a difference in the 2 pics, plus I really like the blue/white tint to the light

yeah, that is a nice set up. I did the same thing running the 8k bulbs...

They look great but it is more of a safety mod... now i can see better and cars can see me.. trust me they do..

They look great

dave01, I was thinking of doing something like this also. How hard is it to do, do you have to be a rocket scientist to do this. Also would doing this affect the warranty, thanks in advance.

Took about a half hour. 4 body panels and the center y panel, 2 hoses and 6 bolts. If you have a good relationship with your dealer/mechanic, its no problem. Just keep your airbox in case. Easy to put it back on for warranty issues, but this filters better than the "stock" filter element does.

Thanks for the quick responce, I will be looking to do this in the near future.

**SpyderWolf** · 11-01-2009, 09:48 PM

Very nice indeed.

Hello dave01,

Are the hids brighter than the factory lights? If they are brighter is the cost vs increase rider safety worth the expense? Or is this modification more a taste preference?

Thank you

There is no comparing the stockers and the NMN hid lights. Much cleaner, whiter light that really lights up the road. I did the headlights first but then my stock foglights looked real weak, so I did the HID's in there too.
You can really see this thing in the daytime coming don the road.
Well worth the cost.

**Some Guy** · 11-02-2009, 09:51 AM

My NMN HID lights make a huge difference...I love 'em!

Worth the difference as I would say it is a no brainer bust mod I have done to date

I did a search on google - can-am spyder hid.
Very interesting price delta in the many kits.
There are 12K000 kits for $170, then I see hid kits going over $1200.
Why is there such extremes in the different kits.
Thank you

The BRP kits are way too overpriced in my opinion. I have tried the 99 dollar ones and had all kinds of issues with the VSS and other systems. I think because they were not digital ballasts. The NMN ones are true plug and play and are working great for me.

RTS is in the mod mode now

No more silver sides or footpeg areas. MUCH more to come...LOL

**SpyderWolf** · 04-29-2010, 10:14 PM

Is that powder coating, or some other substance? I actually like the looks of it blacked out quite a bit.
