Abhi, would like to make few notes on ur post.

Firstly, u cant use an APE RR on P220 as P220 has got 3 phase alternator and APE's 2 phase, and a new APE RR will cost u around 600/- but u can source it from junk yard too at a lower price. Will someone go for a salvaged RR for new bike?

Since ur bike is a P220, (forgive me for not reading the whole posts assuing it to be) u dont require any RR change as P220 RR is quite smart enough to feed 2X55W H7 simultaneously! (I have seen some, but not sure how long)

How will u get a P220 used coil for rewinding? from scrap? Hardly gets damaged, so only option for a new one. That u can go in for later on if things are going wrong U want to convert a massive 200W to a 250W coil?.Disgusting U dont require at all as its capable of feeding all 2 halos. Max u may need to change to a higher cap RR if it requires.

If u still facing the batt discharge issue, go in for Bulls RR a true 3 phase, will feed a 14AH, but where do u accomodate this 14AH without affecting the bikes overall balance and beauty?

Any one can go for the RR swap even with ur stock coil as an ordinary coil is already producing morethan 60W. The idea of changing the RR is boosting the batt charging and coverting it to full DC. A higher watt rewounded coil will produce more amps than the stock coil, but to my observation, its enough for a 35W HID. Halogens? Not at all sufficient with the stock coil. RE WIND

Some more notes in bold!

What Sajan meant was, APE's RR is 2 phase whereas P220's is 3phase so he can swap with Bullet's not the APE's. Am I right?

My point was its not necessory to go for a RR swap if the stock RR is capable, and dont u know P220's alternator is a 200W, by rewinding it can bring a min of 250 provided if there's enough space left. I've not heard about a P220 coil was re winded for any further power req. Do u think 200W is not enough to feed a 2X55W? The question is will the RR give enough support, that will prove all this. Am sure it will light up a 100W to its full brightness, at the cost of reflectors. Abhi, my P150 was capable of driving a 100/90 like a plasma without compromising any console lights after the coil re winding, I hope its a 130W now. So why not a 200W alternator + 9AH batt in P220?

I repeat, P220 coil is a 3 phase one, rewinding to its original pattern will only give u the desired output to my knowledge, Just check for the DC bikes, mostly having 3 phase like ZMR, Bulls, P220, I dont know FZ. A 3 phase alternator is better than a 2 phase one that am sure. If the P220 RR is delivering more than 9A, then everything is settled I hope.

A Bullet RR is capable of feeding a 14AH batt, I've seen in one of my friends bull. He is using an HID now but before that he was on O NB with more than 1 hr drive. So its enough I hope. R the new Bulls on 14 or 9AH? My friend changed to 14A on the last batt change.

If the P220 is not upto the mark go in for other 3phase ones like Bajaj 3W Petrol or CNG but need a slight mod



Correct me if am wrong.

^^ If we look at 200W it seems to be a nice number! But, the thing is we do not know how much the Fuel Injection system consumes. Everything depends on that. In any case, Bajaj will hardly provide a 200W electrical system if the major load is only the 55W h/l + other lights. I guess total load is too somewhat like 150W only!

Thinking about this, the newer P220 w/o FI can easily go for 130/100W h/l I guess!

Edit - what gauge wire did u use for rewinding your coil?

I do'nt think it's any use in taking the circuit to the dealer. Buy a Car HID kit and install it, when I come to Nagpur, I will help you do make the mods.

But in any case, it's better to buy the HID and ask your friend who can help you, or even a normal electrician.

Even I do'nt think so that 220 gets 200W. And if I'm not wrong, 220's coil generate power for Battery charging and Electricals seperately. After 2K RPM the Coil generates enough to support the 55W Bulb +15W Pilot lamps.

Even FI hardly consumes any power, not more than 15W.

Yes, am quite sure about that it will support a 100W, as it uses an H7 single beam. But at the risk of melting the reflectors with a 100W or higher. Am not sure that the highbeam sealed beam is available seperate. In that case its better to go in for O'NB its like a plasma with this power.

No idea yar, its too late to recollect the guage no., 2 years back

rahulji when u are coming to nagpur

Last week of Jan (2010), till then you can try building the setup, it's not at all complex. You can buy the stuff from Sitabuldi, rear road.

on 1 st nov i have gone to nagpur purchased a hid kit(hawk 8000k) for rs 5000
i will replace it with 6000k on 7th
with a whole day fight from 11am to 10pm results negative,fitting person failed to do twin bim,
rahulji pls PM me your mobile no.............plsssss

Have you installed the HID's and working in single beam mode? My No. is +919844-one-six-71-two-nine

yes...... it is working in single beam mode
i am also planning to replace this hid with raylux 4500k

hm.. why don't you try making the modification yourself?

yesterday i saw some chinese HID(i think). It was costing 2.2k but 1 strange thing i saw was, bulb said 35W, but ballast said 25W. Is it okay or should i search for something better?

Strange, I haven't ever come across any 35W Ballasts! I didn't ever knew that a 25W HID existed. Stay clear out of it, look for 35W Ballasts and bulbs.
