Do we get HID that are like a single dedicated hi-beam HID? I have come across ones that have twin beam HID where the bulb filament moves back and forth for low and hi-beam. Also which is the best place to install the ballast on P220F? -
No it's not true. A 55W halogen has more heat emission than a 55W HID. Moreover you can safely install a 35W HID, without even thinking for a second!Originally posted by iBerry View Post
And if you installing just on HID, no need to replace the pilot bulbs as well.Leave a comment:

I've been thinking of using HID on my 220 too... but only want the HID on Hi-beam, without switching the pilot lamps to LED. I heard that over time the reflector of the Hi-beam will get messed up with HID cause of the heat, is this true?Leave a comment:

Yes, Raneet. We can look forward more mods.Originally posted by Raneet View PostHey Rahul after a long time bro..

(1) Probable culprit is Battery. Does it Flickr even when you are above 4K RPM?
(2) If the high beam is not aligned properly, it can be manually adjusted after opening the front fairing.
(3) I'm also using Raylux HID, have seen Philips as well, they do dim after a certain time. Best is used to replace the bulbs later on.
(4) Both Slim and normal ballast actually works same for the end user. As far as luminosity is concerned, I hardly find much difference between 55 and 35W HIDs. That's why always prefer to use the 35W one, easy availability of spares as well.
Your bike is a machines, new or old! If you have the confidence go ahead and do the mod.
Thanks! Now preparing for modding my yet to come 200!

i hav been reading the thread all day...
gr8 setup
I got some small Questions to ask
1) i got the new speed lines edition and hav been using hid(8k) 55w for 7-8 months now.. now i find that the hid has gone a bit dim and it even flickers sometimes.. ny guess why???
2) the high beam is tilted towards the left... wat to do abt that.. as i believe the screws behind the headlight assembly only adjust the height..ny ways to go abt that..
3) cud you guyz suggest a good company that gives good quality HID(that doesnt dim with time) as i am currently using a raylux hid mentioned above..
4) difference between normal and slim balast(power,current,lighting,etc)
please enlight one last doubt guys here: difference B/w 55W and 35W Hid in terms of light,heat plz
i would hav tried this mod earlier but frankly scared of opening my new bike

I joined in Oct 2009 and this is my first post... but I keep the site open on my PC be it in office or at home...
I have replaced the number plate lights and parking lights with SMD lamps, but I still have the issue of battery draining, a lot noticeable when the bike is at idle. Still though while riding if I honk, the horns sound like they are being strangled to death by the twin lamps... but sound is decent enough to let others know of our presence behind them and none of the lights flicker due to lack of power from battery..
My bike is more than 2 years old and I haven't checked the battery and I haven't taken my bike for servicing for 5 months now..(I do it myself and did not check the battery) so I am not ruling out the possibility of battery being the issue.Leave a comment:

I did this mod on my 220 Fi. But I used +ve from Hi beam bulb to power the relay coil ie to 87. This way no extra wire is required to go to the battery.
The illumination is amazing with both Hi Lo on, but I saw the battery drain indicator light up whenever I turn both beams on even when rpm was above 4K. What is a solution to this? I'm already using LED pilot lamps.
Do I need a powerful coil (generator)?
I'm planning to replace the numberplate lamp with a led to save some more power.Leave a comment:

The twin beam mod is amazing i must say!
I would like to know if HIDs are available in the normal colour(not blue or white). The white beam is a little painful during rains.Leave a comment:

hey guys i'm planning to upgrade to hid and also getting the twin beam modification. But my question is since hid takes up a bit of time to light up properly, will my pass light become useless? Also wanna know what to ask for while purchasing the relay for the twin beam modification. Other than my indicators and headlights, i have everything led but i also have some additional leds which you could see in my led thread. Wanted to know whether that could lead to battery draining after undergoing twin beam modification.Leave a comment:
