    yes that is what i did. I put the bulb in a plastic cover and hit it slightly with an iron peice to break the outer glass. And i soldered wires into it. Then i cant put back this broken bulb into the holder. The remaining glass inside the bulb near the filament is breaking when i put it in the holder and twist.

    I ve started doing this. Finished with half of the soldering work(brake light).
    But now i m stuck. I cant put back the broken bulb into its socket. It is braking when i put it back. i ve already broke 2 bulbs.
    So now thinking of taking wires directly from the socket...
    R u cracking the whole to break the glass? Put a cloth on the bulb and try to hit with some thing hard like a wooden peice or so, or even u can crush the bulb with a plier.

    but no idea about the voltage-current of the battery. It isnt written there..

    Edit: It is 12V 2.5A for the current model

    Wow..!! That looks yummy
    Cost of projectors ?? And type of Bulb ?? H4 ??
    I just got it from one of my friend from HK, Yeah its H4, else, I may need another for flashing.

    i 'm planning to do this next week after my semester exams are over...
    but dint get a good pattern for arranging leds

    @sajjt all the best for your work..And which projectors are they. From where did u get them?
    Price tag, he didnt tell that yet, as he's out of station, I just picked the lens from his house. Will declare later.

    @sajjt - Projector looks good. Waiting for the works to complete.
    Thanks Abhi, its been a long waiting for this, it came to me accidently as he bought it for his car and it didnt suited well, I took the risk and grabbed without much talks. Will comeup with more pics and details soon.

    You gotta remove grab rails, side cowls and then tail lamp unit.

    If you are interested in doing, then don't remove the tail lamp unit. Just make use of circuit board and install them. Refer this link. Its very well done on Unicorn.
    ok...thanx for the link...
    and how to remove the second cover, the red one?

    Slightly bigger size, 4" outer dia, not that easy to fix in Pulsar, may be I've to use in my car. But am impressed with the spread with this big size lens as the low beam effect is so wide. Will post all pics as soon as I finishes.

    Yes, LEDs can be and are generally connected serially as shown in the diagram. The number of LEDs you connect serially and the supply voltage determine the value of the resistor used.
    can u pls explain how u calculated the value of the resistor used?

    Done with the soldering stuff. I am not that happy with the result
    Will be uploading the pix after i fit it to bike.
