Finally the wait ends! Light God has bestowed upon me!!

After a long time put my puny head to work again. This time the Dual Beam. Iam very excited as my setup worked. First i soldered wires to the relay. I had wires which are used in DC low power applications. So was skeptical if they would sustain upto 4.6 and 9.2 Amps. Then i opened the whole front of the bike and pulled out the headlight assembly and started to connect the wires according to the circuit. My heart was beating very fast. I kept on wondering what if the FI fails or battery dies. Still thought of giving it a shot. I had faith. Then i started the bike. Slowly switched the parking lights on. Then the Low Beam. And finally the High Beam. As i saw light coming from both the beams my heart was filled with joy. Then revved hard to see if the lights are dimming at low rpms. Nope. They were just normal. My multimeter is kaput so couldnt test the charging voltage with both beams on. However I ran it only for a minute. The BCU dint come into the picture and switch to single beam. My battery was also almost dead. Even then it worked. Iam very happy. Now i just need to find an idea to enclose everything into something neat. The whole job is not clean. Will wrap it up by night. I didnot use a toggle switch. Planning to buy one. At night i would post the pics of the beam spread and all.

Special Thanks Rahul and Abhijeet for answering all my stupid questions patiently and guiding me through each and every step in making it to work. Incase i drive down to ur places or u come here i would give u a grand party!

That's really a great news Rahul. So finally you managed get the setup work. I would suggest you to changeover to LEDs for Pilots and rear number plate, so you can be absolutely sure of the power drain.

For me, it's now almost impossible to use the high beam alone. It's a huge difference. Kindly post the pictures of the beam and setup as well. BTW if you are using the miniature relay, you can just wrap around with insulation tape. The relay is a sealed unit, so no problem whatsoever.

Don't invite me for parties, you know Hyderabad is just 550Kms for me, and for long i'm itching to make full use of my twin beams.

Hehehe.. after all this guy does all India trip on regular basis!

Congrats... great that you got it done!

Congrats Dude!!!
But Please have mercy on others when U Ride in Nights.

Thanks.. U are always welcome for a treat from my side.
I was searching for the LED's. But no one seems to know what they are. They just give me blue colored 5W bulbs. Shall i search for them in electronic shops? Is there any specification for it? 12V LED right? I would like to try blue colored LED's for pilot lamps and white one for licence plate lamp.

Thanks Bro.. Would have been impossible for me if u guys wouldnt have answered all my stupid queries.

Thanks..

Last night i drove for a good 1 hour with both the beams on. The low battery indication came only when the bike was left to idle and comes within 3 seconds. If the rpm is around 2k its enough to sustain them. Also i noticed that when shifting to Dual Beam the BCU makes a click sound. The same click sound when the BCU alternates the beam in case of some problem and makes click sound every 3 or 4 seconds for rechecking the other beam. But this sound wasnt repeating. Comes only when dual beam is turned on.
The battery is very low on charge. Even with single beam on at idling it shows low battery. Will get it charged soon. I somehow feel the battery isnt charging at all. I couldnt take the pics yesterday. Will take them tonight and post them. All in all its an effort which is worth it..

That would be an too optimistic statement to say!


You genreally find these LED at Automotive shops only. They have resistors to allow them to run on 12V but come in the socket configuration and are plug and play at Pilot Lamp and Number Plate sockets.

Try to find bright good quality ones, as most of them don't last long. Try finding the ones which cost about 140 a pair. You also get 35,70 buck a pair, avoid them. If nothing else works, you can buy Ultra Bright LED from electronic shops and put a resistor to make them work on 12V.

It an assumption but, it happens that the BCU senses the 35W to be lesser load and hence tries to changeover to other beam, as it happens in my case. But your problem could be because of an undercharged battery.

Your charging is surely not happening, most probably the RR unit is culprit, or it could be battery after all. Even a 1 hour ride above 3K RPM is enough to charge the battery.

Checked in after a long time.
I came to know about a shop which sells such Blue colored LED's. It costs some 100rs per pair. Or i would take really good LED's from electronics and make the circuit. Will take them soon.
Coming to my bike. There is some serious problem with the battery or RR, Yesterday got it checked at an Exide showroom. The damn battery gave 0 Volts as the reading. Tried from changing the multimeter to shaking the battery really violently and what not. Still 0 Volts. But self-start is working somehow. Also the lights and horn work when the ignition is on and bike is off. But when lights (parking) are on, the display shows low battery indication and the lights (parking & low beam) go off in as low as 4 seconds when switched on. With the engine on at idling still the display shows low battery when even the low beam is on. Forget dual beam. . If the dual beam is switched on at idling even the fuel pump sound changes and becomes weak. Looks like i need to get this sorted or may land up in trouble soon.
Also i noticed that there is a drop in the intensity of low beam when dual beam is switched on. Perhaps even the high beam's intensity maybe low. Its been a long time since i saw the single high beam. Also upon revving the intensity increases marginally.
This time i will solder better wires to the relay and put a switch. Can u guide to which wire may fit my requirement?
Somehow not able to take the pics. Will upload them for sure. But its really good if driving at high rpms. Will upgrade to Night Breakers soon. Next year HID's.

@ Rahul
Good that ur Bike is not giving any problems for now.
Just be careful about the battery going dead.
We'll do it on my bike also soon.

To check whether it's a battery problem or RR Unit, simply start the bike, let it run on idle, switch on the light (one beam), wait till Low Batt starts flashing. Now Rev your bike to about 4K RPM. See if it warning stays or not. Also switch off and then back on the light, while revving and check if you get low bat warning or not.

If it's goes after revving that means battery is gone, else the RR Unit.

For wiring you can buy single, thicker gauge wiring used for house wiring, not very thick though.

BTW you are using 2X55 Watts! Just be thankful even if you can see a glimpse of two beams!!

But surely it will affect even a new battery, because charge cycle will too heavy!

holy god!!!what u guys started doing man?KUDOS TO YOU.
first a twin beam hid then a twin beam halo mod!!OH MY GOD!
really ,how much wattage is there in stock pulsy 220 dtsi?i am just curious!
currently own a sweet ug 2 180 and runnin avy coil and phillips xtream power bulb55/60 and soon will upgrade to 220 dtsi only for the LIGHT reason,yes tats enough for me.again KUDOS to u guys!!!!!

Rahul, Superb job on Twin Beam HID..

Just loved reading this thread.. Now I am planning to put by Noob brain to work on my P220 ...

Was going thru the links posted in the thread..

I thought this is good offer.. What do u say?

Raptor Hid kits

Raptor Brand 35W HID Kit - for just 4000 Rps (free shipping) (offer lasts for a week)

Available Options:
Wattage: 35W
Colour: 6000k
Bulb Type: H7

I Hope this is straight fit for P220 dtsi?

Should I go for this?

If not please let me know the shop address in bangalore?

Hey this is great offer! Anyone from Mumbai/Pune for sharing the ballast? Thanks for the headsup bharathkkr!

If the shipping co can handle the customs clearence, its a good offer, else its going to be a painful affair.Quoted is excluding the shipping chargs, add another 30 for Intl shipping, so its costing around 86.25+30=$116.25 ie; 5800. Not bad at all, as the local shops r charging the same from 8K onwards for a std ballast kit, whereas this one is a slim ballast.

Normal overseas purchase shipping charges doesnt include the clearence issues, those who made any purchases from Ebay.com might be knowing this.

Yes there will be charges of 30$ for International shipping.

Please see this link Shipping information

As sajanjosepht said.. Still this is a good deal

Thanks for your appreciation.
It seems 220 can provide more than 150Watts!!
