Retrofitting projector + HID on GS150R
I own a GS150R, and have long planned about getting HID Low beam on it. However, after reading the benefits of projectors, I have decided to retrofit a projector lamp on the bike and fit HID on it. I have managed to procure a projector from Skoda. (It has a half shield for cutoff).
I need help from experienced people here, and if someone is in Pune, then maybe they can help in person too.
1. The projector is for H3 bulbs, and bike uses H4. How are the connections made to HID? Is it HID bulb - HID socket - Ballast - Bike's socket - battery, or HID bulb - Bike's socket - Ballast - Battery?
2. If the HID bulb is connected to bike's socket, can I convert it from H4 to H3.
3. I am planning to retrofit the projector in actual headlamp. This will involve actual opening of the headlight assembly, and cutting it to fit the projector. There are numerous pages on internet where people have done this (search 'projector retrofit motorcycle' in google). Will it be worth it?
4. What's the cost I should expect for this project, considering I already have the projector?
5. Will this void my battery's warranty or whole warranty? (I guess only battery's warranty will be void, as it will be now a DC setup).
Need help for this project! Also, if some GS owner can sell me his broken headlamp assembly, that would help a lot.
