Morimoto HID XB H1 and H7 50w Ballast with 5k (6k had a bluish tint which I'm not a fan of) on both hi and low. Night-sun equivalent. The quality of Morimoto are next level compared to what was available, perhaps headway's been made which I'm unaware of but no need to switch as they make night into day as it is.

Here's a pic as fitted on my 'prep' - They've been trouble-free for tens of thousands of miles.



and on Mandy



Also note the headlight switch. I can run with running lamps only if I so choose.





referencing the Hornig units. My prep has carbon fiber pods which on their own, the fit is appalling. I don't recall the source but I purchased a set from a US based supplier - On a lark, I tried China which are on the bike now and they're far better though still rather junky fitting compared the OEM pieces which are on Mandy.
