I have inquired in Nana Peth, there asking price is 1500 rs to 2000 Rs.(With no warranty )

But i do not believe the Nana Peth guy. They are all fake Chinese product.
I think no branded HID is available for bikes. Or are the available??

If you find any one who can give good branded HID with warranty then kindly let me know.

Also who will do the conversion (any good garage) ?

Thanx

A good hid will cost you anything around 2800 /- 3800/- comes with warranty you have options of 35w and 50/55w . for the fz the best setup is a bixenon it comes with a wiring harness and its plug and play .

yeah.. branded HID comes pricey.. think goes upto 5K-8K for philips one..

you can go for chineese one with no waranty..
like there is a shop probiker helmets.. he sell it for 1K.. and get it fixed for 500 by known mechanic (u can get it fixed yourself from outside too)... looks decent enough..
search 'probiker' is a member on xbhp as well..

@akshayrbk.. I have seen both in many.. and let me tell you
philips premium @85 bucks Vs. Night Breaker @900 bucks..

BUT they have almost equivalent lighting

@ nitin: thanks a ton for all the help,,, guess i'll have to start saving up for the night breaker then ,,,

@akshayrbk,
I assume you understood me wrong.. or I was not very clear..
I meant both have huge difference in price.. BUT both give almost EQUAL light.. go for philips premium man..

You need to get a CE certified ballast which are tested as per standards . Usually the 35w ballast consume 3.2 amps as constant . try exchanging the ballast from where you got it . if not you might have to buy a new one
