PHIDs: "Eyes Of God"
January, 2004 We now begin an experiment to ascertain whether these new Driving Lamps can be a viable candidate to replace the venerable PIAA 910s as a new modern standard in the Long Distance Riding community. Why a PIAA Replacement? My personal motivation is driven by several factors:
- Eventual unavailability of 910s as existing stocks are depleted.
- Strong need for enhanced ability to see far/wide at night due to night vision issues.
- Omni-present need to conserve power consumption on the FJR makes 84-watt PHIDs extremely attractive over 110-watt PIAAs; allowing one to enjoy the win-win situation of enhanced light while saving precious wattage!
Now Comes The Philips HID High-Beam Driving Lamps

Below is a view of the lamps in daytime..... they look much cleaner than the 910s did simply by virtue of being mounted on the upper portion of the Top Gun brackets:

| Another perspective on how these PHIDs look on the bike. I am still experimenting with these lamps; it is possible I may want to flip them so that they hang down from the Top Gun brackets like the old 910s did.

These Philips HID Driving Lamps are seen below:
These are serious, serious lamps! Make no mistake what you're getting: these are awesomely powerful 3rd generation HID lights, with the internals made by Phillips. This is for a high-beam application. You won't be using these babies in the presence of prevailing traffic. Oh, no. Trust me, you will not.
