    What would be the easiest way to upgrade the headlights on a 389 Pete? If I would of got a 379 I would just of swapped the seal beams for some LED ones but with the 389 projector style headlight, would I have to swap to whole assembly to get better light output? Or get an HID retrofit done? I tried different halogen bulbs from the Pete dealer but I didn't see much of an improvement.

    I just got done retrofitting hids in a 15 kawisaki zx6r. Super easy project especially for 2 bulb high low beam. Kit wasnt but 65$ for 2 55w ballasts and 2 bulbs.

    The 389 setup would require 4 ballasts and 4 bulbs to upgrade both high and low beam. Or you can buy direct drop in replacement LED bulbs. About 75 bucks a pair.
