    I don't have a Hunk. So, sorry, not possible for me to write step by step guide. But, the electrical circuit should be similar. Only the placement of LEDs may differ. Read my first post clearly. Most of the steps are similar.

    For the size of the LEDs used, the only way to know is to open the Pulsar backlight console and find out. Common sizes include 3,5,8 and 10mm. As I do not have access to a Pulsar LED backlight console, I am afraid I can not help there. The LEDs may even be fixed in such a way that it may not possible to replace the LEDs. So, the only way to know is to examine the LED backlight console.

    Regarding websites, I am afraid I do not have much idea. I only know that dual coloured LEDs are available at Ritchie Street in Chennai and Lamington Road in Mumbai. Since, you are not from these places I suggested buying online. Maybe someone else can help you here.
    Thanks Bro.... I'll look out for the options

    Wow..... the second option sounds great!!

    It would be very helpfull if you could help in out with -

    1) How can I find out the size of LEDs used in the Back Light
    2) From which website I can securely order the Dual Connection LEDs

    Thanks in advance!!

    Could you tell me if you put normal leds or got some special thing?? I've never opened the speedo so I dunno wat those bulbs look like... a pic of the leds would be of great help...

    thanx
    A normal speedo does not contain LEDs. They use 3W bulbs. I have installed the LEDs. It has few normal 5mm white LEDs glued to the underside of the speedo dial.

    Here is a pic of a LED -

    The 5mm LED I have used is the one at the centre. The rightmost one is 3mm and the leftmost one is 8mm.

    Bro, actually when I was researching on this.... I also came across the same consideration. The solution which I found over Internet was Dual Colored LED, which change their color based voltage passed. But over here in Gurgaon, it's really hard to find some actuall serious stuff

    But anyways I'll keep my research on.... I'm very keen towards doing this!!
    If you can replace the LEDs with dual coloured ones, it is possible. Anyways, if you are really interested, find the size of the Pulsar LED and order dual colored LEDs of the same size online. Also, they change their color based voltage passed and there are LEDs with two connections. Switching ON one connection lights up one colour, the other connection, the other colour. Here, no messing with voltage levels. Also, if you switch ON both connections, both colours will light up together combining to form a third colour.

    It is doable. The main problem would be in fixing the orange LEDs inside the backlight setup. Don't know if the backlight has extra space inside to fit the LEDs. So, that is what you should check out.

    Integrated indicator LED with the Back Light LED on P200

    @abhijeet

    Bro, that's some cool and neat work you have done with the LEDs. I've been planning to integrate the rear signal indecators of my Pulsar 200 with the Back Light LEDs.

    So, what I'm planning is when I operate the turn indicator switch, the Back Light LEDs should flash Amber/Orange in the direction of turn, and when I hit the brakes it should do the default red glow....

    So, any ideas arround this would be great!!

    Thanks in advance

    Guys, I have finally installed the amby seal beam (Rs. 120) and OSRAM 60W H4 bulb (Rs. 80). I initially planned to install the avenger coil too. But due to not availability of the part, could not get it. But, the avenger coil was not even needed! THe stock coil supported the 60W bulb effortlessly at anything above 2k rpm. The is a slight dimming at idle rpm. And the brightness is phenomenal to say the least! Everyone elsee out there on the road dips their headlight whenever I flash the high beam. So, I am very happy with my set up. Still, I have ordered the avenger 180 coil. When, I get that, I will try out a 100W bulb and I am hopeful, it will be supported.

    So, my LED mods seem to have worked and freed up the required power for the headlight.

    P.S. - Initially tried a shitty Lispart 60W bulb. Output was only slightly better than stock 35W headlight!

    Just got a thought for your next step - might look very attractive or might just look like junk, but a thought - the two towers that glow when you brake... can they blink? - run up in series?
    Yeah.. they look good. Usually I am never satisfied with any custom job - mine or others. I always manage to find some flaws. But in this case, I just love the LEDs in the new clear lens cover.

    IMO, the twin towers blinking might look tacky. But, if they run up in steps like in an audio equalizer, it may look good. But as of now, I am in love with this look. So hate to change anything. Maybe if I get bored after a few months, the "run up in series" thing is what I would do!
