    @Rahul: One Quick Question Mate.

    I believe that HID works on 35W each, so it not going to make any much difference to the coil,however if we do it on the stock 220's lights.. that is for 55w each, how would that do..?
    HID is an expensive deal,Mann!

    Moreover i am just thinking what shall i do.??

    on which evver bike I will buy.. LOL..that is why you are being bugged repeatedly.

    I will buy relay if i can save to buy HID's else putting twin beam on halogen will murder my battery.

    Aiyo.. when did you get the 220?

    So HID came with warranty ? Wat is the relay that you have used ? is it a dual headlamp relay ? I have used one such dual headlamp relay (from roots) in my palio ... planning to do the same for my 220 as well ..

    So, I shall now save up for a good HID and save ur contact coz i m also in blore .. he he
    I have used a normal Solid State relay, used in PCB. See the pic attached in the first post. BTW you can contact me on 9844167129

    It's more than sufficient for highways, and the higher the colour temperature, the more glare to oncoming traffic, which is also sometimes desirable. And it's not much of a difference in visibility either, compared to a 4200K.

    Raylux HID is manufactured in Mumbai only.

    I would have bought 4200K Bulb, but it's not easily available, and costlier than the most common 6000K HID available everywhere.

    Rahul bro tonnes of thanks for making things easier for me!
    Soon I would be running on 4 projectors with 2 Hids and 2 halogens on my R15..
    Thanks once again!!
    Of course it is HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE. I was just saying that HIDs have high initial current draw!

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

    Ok Rahul some questions :

    1. Why car HID ?
    2. Sorry if i missed something here . Could you still use stock headlights ?
    Like toggle On and OFF HID . ?

    Thanks
    (1) Because is straight fit on 220, no relay/cutout needed. Comes in pair, and you get the warranty.

    (2) The toggle switch is installed to revert back to normal single beam system with HID's. Just in case you need to use the Hi Beam, alone.

    plz. tell me more clearly
    I'm using a miniature SPDT, 12V relay. All the relays have one common point (Single Pole) and two outputs (double throw). When the relay coil is not activated the Common Point is connected one output, and when the Relay is coil activated the common point connects to the other output.

    On a relay A,B,C,D is not written, I have uploaded a picture of the relay I have used,

    Wow! I see you have started modding your brand new P220 too! Great post there.

    Edit - Can you make the connections at the relay clearer? I am not sure what A,B,C,D,E means. Specific names like Ground, Relay Coil +ve etc would help.

    Let me try and guess -

    E - Coil +ve
    D - Coil GND

    B - Common
    A - NC (Normally Closed)
    C - NO (Normally Open)


    And why not use a diode in place of the relay? It would have a much simpler 2 wire connection. Does it cause any problem with the BCU?
