    And thanks for labeling that diagram! I thought the bulbs were at the bottom and the BCU connections at the top while actually it is the reverse. Hence my confusions!

    though it will blind other people in the opposite direction.
    It's no worse than using even the single "High Beam", as the lower beam still has the sharp cut area.. and after all we need to use this setup as per our sensibility.. only on highways..

    The whole relay setup is added.. anyways I have added a pic, without the whole stuff.

    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!!
    It is HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE, what made you think otherwise?
    I'm glad it helped.. but how are you gonna put 2 HIDs and 2 Halogens.. please share with us.

          dude, 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

                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?
                dude plz. tell me clearly more plz. cause am not getting it and which relay u r using simple?????? and on relay abcd is written?????
                plz. tell me more clearly

                  It's true that 4200K HID is best when it comes to illumination. As you go up the ladder, the light gets bluer to Violet. But 6000K is not that bad after all, it is worse than 4200K, but still it's almost 3 time better than a Halogen. 6000K is Pure White, with slight over tone of Blue.. not truly Blue though.

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

                  (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.

                  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,

                    Of course it is HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE. I was just saying that HIDs have high initial current draw!

                      so on hiway rides is this illumination suficient enough to see the road? Or the lights get eaten up by the yelow ones..
                      And where do i get this from mumbai any idea?

                        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.

                              Amazing Mod
                              Hats off to you.

                              I would love to meet you sometime and see the light and blind myself

                              Will give u a call sometime during weekends, hope you will be free


                              How much did the relay cost? What should i ask in shop for the relay? Any specific name? And in JC Road which shop?
                              Sorry for too many questions and also if you have already answered and if i have missed it
