Is there a such thing as a HID head light mod?

my ideas for it are
-maybe their is a kit out there for it.
-possible swap of just the projecter from a newer gixer
-maybe even a swapin of a bmw projector or something of that lines.

let me know

I have a 81 850

not that ive done it yet, but my 83 1100 has an H4 bulb, I dont see why you couldnt get an H4 HID conversion bulb and balast and put it in
 
You would just need the projector. However, you would lose your high beams, right? Would that fail inspection where you are?
 
Definitely worth doing, and will be done to the 1100 when i finally get started on it

If your 1100 is an E, with the large train headlight,just replacing the H4 bulb with an Osram Sylverstar (the Euro-made ones) will seriously increase light output. HID might actually be overkill, esp. since the large lens isn't designed with the required cut-off pattern. Technically, using the HID bulbs without the HID specific lens is illegal, due to potentially blinding oncoming traffic, but I don't know if they really enforce this, or check at safety inspections.

Im not really a fan of ebay projectors or much ebay any thing for that matter. there are a lot of scamers on there.

does anyone know of a newer bike that I could take one off of?

Focus Frenzy reviewed a quality HI/LO HID motorcycle kit he installed on his SV......maybe shoot him a PM. The quality kits go for a lot more than the generic ebay ones, but hopefully don't have the poor longevity issues.;)

No matter what you do they are not DOT approved. May have a clearance problem in the headlight bucket
