Comming home from my ride today i rode past a dude on a big yellow bike with blue neon type of lights? Is that rode legal? looks kinda wicked thoe, it was raining hard and kinda poor light, standed out like a sore toe thoe...
just wondering if any one has seen these on bikes before?

Yep but HID H4 bulbs make so much difference, headlight is standard so no one can tell, and at least you can see better in the dark.

their not road legal, only the amber ones are. you can find them in tons of colur on trademe
Well what would you do? Run through the streets stark naked at 350 miles per hour with bells on your toes?
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
On M'way today I spotted a bike some way off with light on.
As he got closer his light was actually OFF, and it was only the sun reflecting off his wind deflector...
He wouldda been harder to see if that visor wasn't there (and nice and shiny)!!!

Aargh, photos!
To my knowledge, no its not. If it was, how can people get away with selling them on TradeMe and even in shops? The colour you proberbly saw was called "Artic Blue" and they come standard on new BMW's and some others.

i thought they were not legal like those lights you can get for your wheels. the ones for your wheels have in small print on the packaging saying "must be used on closed road", "not road legal".
they can sell them to people because a lot use them for car/motorbike shows and racing...i think

You are right that they cannot use other colours but you can still have a higher performance bulb
Replacement bulbs
If you want to improve the performance of your headlamps, you can replace the bulbs with high-efficiency bulbs. However, these replacement bulbs must be of a similar type and wattage as the original bulbs, eg don’t replace a standard bulb with one of higher wattage.
Make sure replacement bulbs are the correct colour, eg headlamp bulbs must be predominantly white or amber, although some white bulbs can look slightly blue. You should use commonsense to ensure you don’t run into trouble later on.
Vehicle lighting retailers in New Zealand are required by law to sell bulbs which are fit for the purpose for which you’re intending to use them – so they’ll be able to advise you on choosing the right bulb for the job.

I saw something at the beginning of November going up to the Nelson rally, a fair distance behind a caught sight of a blue flashing light so I slowed down only to find out it was a bike. But I'm sure his headlight was blue and flashing damn sure it was a cop to start of with.
Aargh, photos!
He was proberbly just going over bumps in the road. I have had that happen to me.

Still Ridin'
Riding at night and you think some jerk is flashing his lights at you and you think "WTF? My lights are dipped," then you realise that it's bumps in the road.
Motorbike Camping for the win!

HID is gas discharge, H4 is quartz halogen,two entirely different technologiesYep but HID H4 bulbs make so much difference, headlight is standard so no one can tell, and at least you can see better in the dark.
HID requires a high voltage power source
Forum whore
Actually H4 is just the base type, that is the shape of the bit that fits the reflector/housing (much like BC or ES for home bulbs).
You can get 'H4 HID', they're simply replacment globe setups (and related control gear) that retrofit HID lighting to an existing halogen housing.
Forum whore
And retro fit HID is ileagal.
