Just installed my 5000k hid kit for low beams, next I'm going to address the daytime running lights. Going to make the switch to led I know I will lose my high beams but just wondering what good/bad experience you guys have had. Also recommend a quality brand... Thanks

We recommend our G's High Intensity Super White LED DRLs:

I do not own a twin yet, but in my other vehicles I have used V-LED's V3 Triton system for switchbacks and brake lights and I love them. Amazingly bright, even during the day, and they come with a lifetime warranty (along with lots of other features that I don't have the time to list here). I have called V-LED's before and their customer support was also very quick and helpful. They are pretty pricey compared to other led solutions but in my opinion I think they're worth it.

When I bought mine they were the first version that came out, they have since released an updated version 2 that I have not used but apparently they are even brighter.

beware...when vled says "lifetime warrnty" it is not what you think it is.
When a new generation/version of V3 triton comes out then the older generation/version will have only 1 year warranty from then on.

sorry for being off topic but was it easy to install the low beam hid kit?

Low beam HID kits are essentially plug and play. Our HID kits come equipped with H11 male connectors that connect directly to the factory connector piece. No modification required and it can be done within 30 minutes (that is if you take your time)

No it was really simple. Plug and play, mount the ballast and done. There is a YouTube video showing how to install on frs. Very simple

Find the location to mount the ballast is the hardest part of the installation.
