    About the HID, does Dazzler h/l run on DC?

    And what resistor values have you used for full and half brightness?
    Thanks Abhi, You were my inspiration

    No, Dazzler got AC lighting. I've changed the stock switch to DC(no rewinding and no RR swap). Just changed the Connection of the stock switch to DC which made my whole bike DC(including tail lights). I've not any faced battery draining issues yet, but I don't want to take a risk, so converted the tail lights to LED.

    About the resistors. I've used only one 220ohm resistor. Tail light line passes through resistor and break light line goes straight to the array of four LED in series. There are two such arrays. The missing LED is behind the PCB, it will illuminate the stock reflector

    That is innovative nidclt. Not only looks good but has a purpose to save power for HID. Good thinking and well executed. Your efforts are commendable.[/QUOTE]

    ^^ No idea! Soldering rod will be about 100 bucks.

    Yah I have the Bridge rectifier ...Let me try to get this tail lamp from HH spares and try that. Any guess how much will it cost? Also for soldering rod?

    Those runs on DC I guess. And you would need a bridge rectifier to convert ur AC to DC. And if you can fit the LED board, it should not be a problem.

    Guys,
    Today I found one CBZ extreme tail lamp was broken and able to see the inside board with LEDs. I guess it will be fit into the RX100 tail lamp based on the size am telling.
    So is that extreme tail lamp works on A/c wiring then is it possible to fit it on my RX100 tail lamp by drilling the board and fitting into that two screws.

    Gurus please your sugestions....

    Man, u've connected 4 LEDs in series without resistors? It'll blow off within no time as the LED requires only 30ma for each one and the current from our batt is very very higher, so a resistor is a must. U've tackled the voltage now by making it in series and so is the case with the currrent too. There are few sites for LED resistor calculations.

    Current limiting Resistor calculator for leds
    LED center
    LED Calculator - Current limiting resistor calculator for LED arrays
    LED Resistor Calculator

    Or even a manual calculator formula for offline time
    LED Resistor Calculator

    Goodluck

    ^^^ I would say mine is good enough during night but does not grab attention during daytime. So it is slightly lower. Solution is to go for brighter and more expensive LEDs. They can outshine normal bulbs!

    thanx for the pic

     i was planning to do something like this for my unicorn tail lamp...like two round shaped ones in the tail lamp, like that in the cbr150...i ve mentioned it before...
    'll enquire in some accessory shop and see whether the size will match..and hope it would be available with red led also..

    They are available as an aftermarket accessory in the automobile shops.
    Circular ones cost 45rs and look somewhat like this


    The color is white ,output is substantial and the plastic in front is clear type.The main drawback is that these do not adjust in the space inside the console. There are 12 white LED's and they are connected with 4 resistors(one after three).



    The thing needed is somewhat of this size except that you have to dismantle it to make it fit. Don't know about power consumption though..
    Trying for something like this or else a digi console like that of Gs150 so that my stock console remains safe.

    I saw a few LED lights like LED STRIP, CIRCULAR LED LIGHT & BAR TYPE LIGHT. Can these be any useful to illuminate the console?
