    Friends a quick question. Form what i know that HID which I am getting fitted has white light in high beam and yellow light in low. So wont it be safe enough that i drive in low beam and use pass switch for HID as needed. Also i can use high beam while on highways and roads where there are no cops.
    Please advice.

    The one you are referring to has a HID in high and a Halogen in Low. I would say rather go for a Bi-Xenon, where you can use pass beam also, not in your case. Adjust your beam, so low beam doesn't attract cops.

    In the initial days of HID cops used to catch, but haven't seen them cribbing around these days. But its always to keep your low beam at low levels.

      Thanks for your input. Can you please help me understand what you mean by using pass beam as i am new to all this.

      Also can you let me know the difference in Bi-xenon and HID and also the cost of good Bi-xenon

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

                        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.

                          I agree Surendra, but:
                          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.

                            Good pointers there! I agree with you.

                              3rd point, A blinded 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.
