Hid Conversion Kits: How They Work?
By now you have probably heard of the various HID conversion kits including some of the more popular like HID xenon conversion kits and the McCulloch conversion kits that are offered. What you may not yet be so sure about is the basic workings of the HID headlights involved with the HID conversion kits, or some of the problem that were encountered and fixed during the development process of the HID headlights.
Well, the HID headlights that you will be using after having your HID conversion kit installed will work rather differently from the halogen headlights that you are probably using right this minute. To under stand this efficiently, you should know how a halogen headlight is a step up from the average household light bulb, and then how a HID headlight from you’re his conversion kit differs from them both.
First thing first, the halogen bulb is a huge step up from the household light bulb. Halogen bulbs last longer, they are more efficient, and they are brighter than household bulbs. This is all thanks to one key difference between the two. The household bulb uses just a plain filament to produce light while the halogen bulb has the filament incase in quartz that is filled with halogen gases. The halogen gases help to dramatically reduce the deterioration of the filament do to heat and constant use over time. This is why the halogen bulb was the most used until the HID conversion kits came on the market at a low enough price that more people can afford. The halogen bulb is slowly, but surly, being replaced by the still more efficient, longer lasting, and brighter option of the HID conversion kits.
The difference between the HID headlights and the halogen headlights is much more significant. The HID headlights, no matter what HID conversion kit you choose to use, do not use filaments to produce the visible light. Instead they use gases. The gases that are used with the

react with the electrical current that is pulsed through when you turn the lights on, and this creates an arc. Thee arc is brighter and uses less electricity than the halogen and household bulbs do.
Now the HID conversion kits weren’t perfect to begin with. Some of them ran into one huge problem that had to work out. It takes time for the noble gases in the HID headlights to react enough to matter. To fix this the HID xenon kits added xenon to their mix. One of the lesser problem was the fluctuating lighting based on the gases reaction at the time, all that had to be added to the HID conversion kits to fix this was the ballasts technology that controls the flow of electricity to the noble gases in the bulb to help keep it at a nice strong intensity. For each of the problems encountered the makers of the different HID conversion kits came up with different solutions.

What size teeth should my front and rear sprocket be for my R6 520 conversion kit be?
I am in the process of purchasing a 520 Vortex conversion kit (chain and sprockets) for my 2001 YZF R6 and I would like to know what size teeth (15 or 16) should be on the front sprocket and what size teeth (48, 49 or 50) should be for the rear sprocket for best performance?
15 front 47 rear stock. I assume you want a little harder acceleration.....go either 1 tooth smaller in the front or 3 bigger in the rear. If you would like real hard takeoff, wheelies, ect. Go with 1 smaller in the front and 3 bigger in the back with the 520 chain conversion kit. You chainguard guide may rub a little at first. If you plan to install it yourself you will need a large breaker bar and a buddy to work the front sprocket loose. So in the end if you only want a little more acceleration go with the larger rear sprocket....it is less work.
