You may be right Rahul.
I just happened to read it in the blog that HIDs totally blind out people & are illegal.
Also I was under impression that stock high beam is enough for all conditions.
No issues mate, thanks for the clarification.
Personally, even I like that bluish colour light than yellowish.
I was just being right ethically.
Now necessity for this upgrade is clear.

Guys, he has the option of turning off his high beam when needed! When such situations arises that there are many vehicles on the opposite lane, he can simple use his low beam. (which is housed in a projector, just to minimize glare!)

well, you are not alone with your thought.... I'm here to second you with that.Originally posted by riazmomin View Post3rd point, A blinded (driver) has all the possibilites of driving over you. be it a car or truck. Infact a high beam from a simple 35w lamp is enough to do the job of blinding.
Any how, its my very personal opinion, I feel like the bang those headlamps of opposite vehicle coming with high beam on and especially projectors.

Some Pointers:
(1) There's not a huge difference between 4300K and 6000K tempreature in terms of light output. Yes, 4300K is better, but still 6000K will still be 200% better than a Halogen.
(2) 6000K is the most common and cheapest colour temperature you will get in the market today, that also helps in when you are going to sell of your HID.
(3) You cannot blind the pedestrian crossing the road, infact you will do him/her a favour by increasing your visibility and decreasing his/her chances of getting hit by you. But, yes you may blind the oncoming truckwalas, which is sometime desirable.
(4) Stock P220 light are best in class, but nothing on open highways. Most of our roads don't even have a divider, but for people like us who stay in cities like Bangalore, where all escapes are super wide roads, this mod will definitely help. On stock 220 lights, on Bangalore-Chennai route, I can hardly maintain 80Kmph, without taking risks, with this mod, I can ride as good as day. (Day time you can easily maintain 120Kmph!)
(5) And after all you can adjust your high beam, so as to aim towards the road. Cars have two bulbs, does it blind us?
It's our responsibility to ride safe, and refrain from making abuse of HIDs.

You are right Mr. Seamus.
Also, other aspect is HIDs above 6000K are illegal in India (most of the countries too).
They simply blind out people be it a driver from opposite lane or pedestrian who is walking on/crossing the road.
So I would say, though this mod is great but may not be advisable considering poor pedestrians & drivers from opposite lane.
Stock P220 headlights do their job exceptionally well.
Remember many of major roads in our country are still without dividers.
Spare drivers who are coming in opposite directions as driving in night is real pain.
I would recommend you guys to go through following article on HIDs.

Originally posted by Seamus View Postdude, your hids are 6000k, and have read somewher on xbhp from our technical gurus that anything beyond 5000k is just show... and not as good as <5000k on hiways. Since its said that hids with more then 5000k juzt blinds people on hiway rather than showing the roads and also that >5000k becomes whitish blueish, <5000k is good for hiways since its yelowish...kindly throw some light over this lighting topic
