BTW, i already have a P220 projector fitted in and working brilliantly. Its Low beam only. Friends keep telling me to put in an HID. So just contemplating.
What are the alternatives for a High Beam from an auxiliary lamp. I noticed most of these autos having small round lamps. They look pretty bright, but how good is the beam, What are its specs? any idea?

Thanks, U r right, HID's will work only on DC, very few bikes are full dc as stock, so we need to convert it to DC to support an HID. We've got a specific thread for DC conversion, just follow the links and get it solved. If u r going to install HID, u need to boost the batt charging rate, without that, u cant run the HID not more than 30-45 mins depending on ur batt and alt charging rates. U cant say that no night rides less than 1 hr or so, bcz if the situation demands u need to drive at night regardless of the HID batt backup. So be prepared.
P220 lens is a low beam projector, and results are very impressive, for the high beam u can use the spots like the one u've mentioned. Am using it just for the flashing purpose, but beam spread is too narrow. Also u can opt for car fogs is the best, as the beam spread is very wide but wont go far, thats the limitation. If u can find a dedicated HB sealed beam like in P220 its the best. Hey, why dont u post some pics of ur projector mod?

Need options for High Beam, which would not involve me converting to DC, cos thats something i am not interested in.

If u got a HID+Halo combi setup, no need to go for any changes, as long as ur batt is having juice, it will light up HID then u can fully rely on the halogen beam. Its not as costly as the bixenon HID also. So in a way its just a fit nd 4get one
