@L.P: Is that the ONB ? wattage ? cost ?

My unicorn has a HS1 type socket. ( this from the Phillips site here. Part No. 12636. First on the list.)

If i'm going for a 35w ONB what should be my socket type ? Are H4 and HS1 the same ?

Arrey yar, main bhi NB daala hu, aisa kuch nahin hain. It is not this white and nowhere this bright. Are you sure this is NB...looks a lot like HID to me. Also, for P220 owners, ONB is not much of an upgrade from its current lighting, in my opinion. But caravikiran seems to think differently.

His is Discover....and that light can be achieved(i think) by installing Avenger's coil..!!

I may be wrong in guessing but i feel its a NB..!!

this discover is equipped with 6000k HID on 9amp battery with double charger and without avenger coil upgrade.this is not ONB anyway.

I am going for the avenger coil + 65watt headlight bulb on my pulsar 180DTS-i UG3.
I have just some final doubts.
1. Is the stator plate from avenger 180 a direct fit on my bike? Will this void the warranty or is it like no one would ever know??
2. Will the current headlight wiring be able to withstand the current passing through it after using the 65watt assembly? Will it deliver the optimum power? I've heard there is a specific limit to the maximum current that can pass through a wire without the wire burning.
I don't want to end up with burnt wiring. What if the wiring burns when I'm on the highway with no lights?[now that would be a scary situaion].
So experts please comment.
3. Are the HS1 and H4 sockets the same?? I have two osram car headlight bulbs lying around in the house. They are 65W H4 halogen bulbs.
I am all set to get the mod done. But these are some doubts I had.

earlier battery is weak to produce sufficient light to HID,so another charger of same make added as parallel to charge battery as fast as possible but after replacing weaker battery by new one now there is no need of extra charger.this is totally local jugaad in dilli ishtyle

and also useful.

What happened was the earlier battery that i had was Weak, as result of which what happened was as soon as I put the HID on the battery started to get discharged faster than what it was getting chargd

,so what we did was an extra charger was attached parellel to the same wiring of the same make

,so that what the extra current which was getting waste could be utilised to charge the battery faster

,it sure worked well for atleast 3 months

then i got money to get the battery changed i got that extra charger removed and now it is working normally..

And please see as rightly said by C_sbk it is completely a Typical Dilli Jugaard,that we have done..

We believe in doing things first...
