I see this is a Polish offer on FB, is there any experience or anyone who has actually bought and installed something similar on their bike...

I had something similar on my St1300. I had to split the glas from the housing.. To install, use a heat gun to soften the putty, insert the projector lens in the opening where the H4 bulb normally sits, then glue everything back together. The alignment wasn't great, so I had to adjust the reflectors individually by a lot to get a straight beam.. Worked great for a while, loved the look. Keep in mind that hte projector lens only shines forward, so the main reflector does not light up. I installed some LED rings to light up the reflectors in addition to the projector lens...
But after a couple of years (10 maybe?), the HID main headlights dimmed a lot, to the point that I couldn't tell if the lights were on or off and I removed everything. Now running CE-approved H4 LED bulbs and love them..

Just an opinion, I like the OEM version better.
Ditto...
Besides the fully lit glass being highly recognizable (without unnecessary dazzle and glare to oncoming motorists), are standard H4 bulbs avail pretty much e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. ... gas stations, automotive suppliers, even at hardware/agricultural/convenience/food stores right aside the road in some small village, minimizing the risk of me having to continue one-eyed or even fully dark while touring abroad... a priceless advantage in my book...
 
Auto Gamma Katowice - headlight regeneration 6. mai
Honda ST1100 with a completely new look!
We have done a solid lighting upgrade on this bike:

Mounting 2 Bi-LED lenses - maximum visibility after dark
Replacing the lampshade with a new one
Painting the interior in black matte
DRL rings - modern style and better daytime visibility

The result? The motorcycle not only looks fresh and aggressive, but also everyone is much better - and this has a huge meaning.~~

Polski is not my first language. Nor my tenth. :D

On aesthetics alone I like factory better. I've seen a lot of examples of Ring/Halo lights on cars (New Chargers more than any other) and I don't much care for the look. Having seen a three different colors than shades of white they do stand out.

I've no idea what's meant by 2 Bi-LED lenses. I assume there are 2 high/low beam bulbs. Are there additional lenses or is the face of the assembly a new bi-directional lens? Sort of looks like it. I like the clear look of the lens vs the fogged look of the factory. But I don't like seeing the cartoon eyes behind it. Painting the part of the housing matte black? Someone here suggested or did that. I don't know if it did anything for beam pattern. But it does change the aesthetic. I don't remember how that looked.

I'd want a lot more details in the product description before I'd give it any more than the glance here. And that's only if I had an 1100. Well not true. I am curious about those details anyway.

The Ad-made white turn signal lenses do look really nice on an 1100.
