Ive got iridium bulbs fitted to mine. Had Xenon bulbs on my 7R and they are were fantastically bright. You might find you can get a pair that fits for the ZXR, but fear not, heres how to make them fit

wont give you 50% more light but headlight will look bright white instead of yellow. piss easy to fit.

Has anyone fit a proper HID kit to a ZXR400?
I've fit them to my Elise and visibility is 100 times better. They were only £80 for two lamps with ballasts.

Can you post up where you fit the ballast and how you got on?
I'd like to fit real HIDs to mine.
