Blue Headlights?

[Wolf]

And I was being silly. Anyway I'm gonna start looking into getting red lit instraments for my bike now as I said earlier. Help my night vision better and look so much cooler than white.

I've seen very nice blue or green displays - look cool as, but not great when you want to return your eyes to the road.

Perhaps they figured that your eyes were already being subjected to "all" frequencies via your head light and those of the on-coming traffic, your night vision was already screwed so they might as well use any damn colour at all.

... we could just do away with the headlights and a night vision visor with HUD.

I have been noticing the increase in cars that seem to have a new type of headlight that has a blue glow to it. Looks rather cool, I reckon. Tends to be on the more upmarket cars at the moment.
I was wondering if they make them for bikes as well and are they better than a halogen globe?
Maybe someone that has a vehicle with them fitted can let us know how they rate them.

Here's a couple of links on HID lighting systems, but as Motu has stated , these couldn't be retro fitted onto NZ bikes. Was thinking of changing them up until now.

Fitted some replacement bulbs to my Trophy before I brought it over here, got them from a car spares place, they have a kinda purple tint to them. They were advertised as "all weather", and work really well in rainy and misty conditions. They're a bit brighter than "normal" bulbs, but give a clearer view without blinding the "opposition". good for general riding as well... Will see if I can find their equivalent here...
