the 3.5 came in the R15 when we brought it man :P

Even i am running the same setup like santa . Even got a volt meter on the bike never had any drop at all. With my experience of doing keeda on the bike . If you wire stuff sensibly then things work. I also have a AFR meter on my bike still it has enough juice for doing some more stuff on it

Yep the alternator is Breeliant :-) That does al the job silently .
Bajaj has never been good with electricals on any of their bike .

^^
Where did 3.5 come from !!
It came from TATA Green , made in indonesia ,
Released on 12th June 2008 :-P. From then on 3.5Ah .
No space for bigger battery.

Havent heard anything for Bosch but below are the addresses for Osram and Philips..
The last time I enquired about the price for Philips, Mr Mittal quoted 7.4k for a kit with normal ballast.

The december issue of Autocar and Overdrive contained an advertisement of a P8 hid conversion kit. They claim to use german technology and from the pictures in the ad, the ballast looked slim and nice. I had contacted them to get a quote and availability. They got back with a price of Rs 8k for the kit and will be available in Bangalore after the 10th of Dec.

Forgot to mention. The Raylux kit purchased by Rahul is now being sold by the same shop for Rs7800 a kit. This was the best price i was quoted. He said the MRP is 9.2k and hence after all the discounts he gets, he is offering it at 7.8k.

2 x 5W bulbs plus the instrument console indicator.

See my case - ran the bike throughout the night for a few times:
1 x 60W + 1 x 35W head lamp. 2 x 5W pilot lamps. 1 x 5W tail lamp and occasionally 21W when I use brakes. he usual stuff - ECU + FI + Lots of heavy horn + radiator fan + coolant pump + Console...

Heck, this is superb stamina for a 3.5 Amp battery. Yes, the coil in the R15 is a class act.

Well, Santa said what exactly I wanted to say.

Wanted to get an upgraded battery for the R15, but found out no other higher ampere-hr rating battery can be accommodated.

The Tata green one is a dry type VRLA battery. No substitute available

Give me a reason why you need a bigger amp battery , You CAN accomodate if you want to :-)

Santa

Good to hear that.


How do u do that? If the high beam is on how will the pass work?

Iam not worrying about anything. I will just make sure whatever i do will not result into something disastrous.
Philips at 8k sounds really good. Are they the made in china ones or orignial ones?

Today checked out the Coil of my bike. There doesnt seem to be any scope for rewinding. The only thing that can be done is using the power sensibly.

What I meant, while riding with both the beams, you can simply toggle between low beam and both beam (Hi and low). I use it this way.


They are the original Phillips. Comes with packaging, bills and from authorized dealers. But they would still be made in China, your PC if running on AMD or Intel, is made in China.. isn't it?

It seems, coil is something no one can have enough of it Aren't we the spoilt lot, think about the lesser mortals who survive on 35W, normal reflector head lights!

so we can use a 55 w spot lamp+55 watt hi/low beam at the same time in 220 dtsi,it wii not cause battery drain?

Checked in JC Road yesterday. Forgot name of shop, he quoted rs.9600/- for Philips HID and Rs.6500/- for Raylux.

hey rahul 8k sounds reasonable but after all the samples i have got from the manufactures directly till date all the ballasts and hid bulbs / arc are all manufactured in one company in china just there are different processes .

example this is one company they have HIDs with all philips branding .
HID China, hid bulb manufacturer, hid lights supplier, exporter--Taichang

And this the company from where i import the Hids .
AOQI HID

Its not like i want to sell the product here .

but to be frank all the hids are more or less of the same quality.I dint import the Philips brand HID because the company only said that their normal HIDs are all of good quality and are reliable. Don't waste your time in choosing. if you have the money grab the Philips and if you are looking for something reasonable you can always catch me

am i invisible guys,please answer gurus!!

It may drain.. take a chance!

Phillips seems to be overpriced. BTW did they had normal Ballasts or slim?

Of course lots of products have common manufacturing plants in China. Almost all ballasts with different manufacturers are identical. But the branded on will have better quality control. Same holds true for everything. Even Cellphone chips are made by same Chinese manufacturer.

Difference can be in packaging, wiring etc.

But I have used Chineese ones for long.. and never had a problem with them.

well said.

But only thing is you wont get a 4300k HID easily here at least in Bangalore don't know about other places. If you ever want to upgrade your hid to 4300k HID arcs/bulbs you can contact me anytime

Samples on discounted rates

Exactly. 4.3K is hard to find as everyone thinks the bluish white is good, but in reality, they really dumps u on rain and fogs.
