Showing you guys the procedure of fitting it by yourself.

LEDs
[ATTACH]39833[/ATTACH]

Colour difference, the whiter one is stock (left) and bluish one is LED (right)
[ATTACH]39834[/ATTACH]

Step 1:
1st open these screws
[ATTACH]39835[/ATTACH]

Step 2:
then open these and the ones opposite them under the visor front,
[ATTACH]39836[/ATTACH]

Step 3:
after removing the number plate, reach your hand through the area and pull out the stock pilot lamps, replace the bulbs with the LEDs, if doesn't work, change polarity (flip it sideways), check if its glowing, then place it back inside and fit the stuffs back the way you opened it.

That's it you're done.

Enjoy.

Is this possible for the RTR 180 non abs,would really like to do it,the stocks ones aren't that bright.Is it the same plug and play for the apache??

Liked the terminator modd... i wanted to ask 2 things:

1) how many leds you used and where did you stick them,top or sides.. and with wat did you stick it with

2) since you mentioned that you have now applied an HID kit.... wont the temp of the HID affect the LED strips

and u mentioned that open the headlight.... u didnt actually open the headlight you just inserted the led from the low beam socket na

why didnt you tray RGB strip... ppl hav 1 color terminator eye one cud hav unlimited color terminator eye
as you said you connected the led to the parking lights means that led are on while hid is

okay.. so many questions to answer..

1) I attached one strip with 4 SMDs on it on the lower side of the reflector.. strips itself come with a sticky bottom..

:P

2) Its a must to use heat proof/fire proof cables or wires. SMD strips don't get burnt that easy. Its the cable/wire that does.

To stick the strip inside the low beam you have to open the headlight. Else you can't. Its too congested.

RGB strip is not really available here..

LED mods for the CBZ Classic ??

Hey guys !

I really appreciate the DIYs discussed here. I ain't a techie or should I say a 'mechie' in these mods department. But, I would like to begin with my first soon!

I have a CBZ Classic 2001 model. Company Painted blue color. (My profile pic shows my baby - TurboKat! ). No fancy stuff yet , with the exception of a 110/90 rear zapper Q.

What are the possible LED styling for my beast - only white and blue colors strictly?

All suggestions, comments and opinions are welcome !

Cheers !

Can it be done on the stock settings of the apache without converting it to full DC??

yes it can be done, if the resistance value is properly selected.

the basic idea should be to show the lighting effect and not shoe the led directly. the place most common on all bikes are:
1) above engine frm top
2) those extensions to the tank
3) rear tyre lighting that to frm top .i.e. under seat.
4) air vents of the side panel
5) uncommon but beautiful... pillion grab rails effect
Go Ahead

hii guys

im building a LED tacho (Bar graph like rev meter)

so any idea on " how to tap the tachometer signal from the CDI " ??

and where is the CDI located on Pulsar 220 Dtsi ? what shape is the CDI(easier to identify) ?

thanks

you mean open the headlight seals or jst the back screws of the lower beam

+ there are two types of leds
1) 3528 (small but many leds in the strip), they use low current
2) 5050( bigger and more brighter led),they use more current..
which one did you use

and did you go for any winding of stator??

Just open the back side where the bulb is fitted and pass the LED from that area.

You can use either of the strips, but the 3528 lasts longer. Less prone to get fuzed I mean.

Bro, an LED strip consumes extremely low current. Stator rewind for LED strips? Are you kidding me?

The LED strips are ready to fit into speedo console n cowl air vents........

Thanx Raneet i aready placed LED bulbs in air vents bt they are not long lasting.
thats the reason i m goin to replaced it with LED strips.

Here the strips as ur suggetion.

Mind change i placed LED strips under tail grab rail.
& i looks owesum guys i placed it on break as well as tail light connection.
Here is the setup :-

Problem installing LEDs

Hi raneet,

I wanted to do a Licence Plate illumination mod on my HH Hunk 2008. I took out the bulb(that illuminates licence plate) and connected LED Strip to it.

Surprisingly, nothing glowed. KI don't know the reason but I tested the voltage on it using multimeter at it came out to be 7 Volt instead of 12 V.

Then to test the LEDs , i connected them directly to the bike's battery(actually 12.67V) and again, no glow.

Then I decided to test it again using a DC adaptor(12.44 V and 100 mA), but again no results.

Can you please elaborate more on this ?

And also, in LED strips, we have two lines(I mean current carrying copper lines), so does it make any difference to connect the wires to the alternate ends if lines or to one end only as shown in the pic? I guess there should not be any difference

Did you interchange the polarity and try? Also did you try with another strip?

Yes, I did change the polarity too but no results. I haven't tried another LED strip but the one I'm using was sold to me by the shopkeeper after testing it in front of me and it did glow at that time. The LED strip is from 3M(it's the original one) and i don't know where i went wrong.

Probably somehow it got damaged. That's why I buy it in foot or meters. Helps.
