Is Raptor a reputed brand? What about warranty?

At about 6K, it's an overkill. Even at 4K, it would better to buy branded kits with warranty. Chinese ones comes as low as 4K with warranty!

There are many shops in JC Road, stocking HID Kits. It's a car HID kit, so no problem in finding them. I bought mine from CarNStyle.

Did the test. Looks like battery is the culprit. As i said before the low battery indication goes when revved till as low as 2k rpm.
I plan to increase my idling to about 1.8k rpm.

PS- Iam getting inclined towards HID's now. Just a thought, is a 55W HID available? I cant afford HID's for both beams anytime soon. 1 Beam for about 4k, yeah i can find ways for the money. So thinking of 55W HID (if available) in low beam and 100W best quality halogen bulb in high beam. I know that high beam reflector is at risk. But i will use high beam only for flashing purposes. I plan to make it also a dual beam setup but wont use it except for flashing.
Comments Please.

A doubt. U use 2 HID's. Whenever u shift from single beam to dual beam and vice versa there will be some delay for the power source to change. Doest that shifting delay damage the ballast? During that interval doesnt the low beam get marginally dim?
In my hypothetical case (55W HID + 100W Halogen), what if i keep on flashing continuously when low beam (HID) is on? Will the HID get damaged? Iam not worried about battery for time being.

Thanks for the sweet words doc.

The P220 coil can provide lots of power. My battery is the culprit. Once i get a new one i can get even better results and will know the true potential of the coil.

If im not wrong , its a 232 watt 3 phase stator coil .

I have HIDs for sale but they are all 4300k have all holder types.PM for more details.

Switching from high to low beam wont damage the ballast. the ballasts is made for taking the maximum beating . If the voltage is low the ballast will automatically shut down. and if the voltage is too high it has a cut out. The ballasts are hardcore man dont worry about it . I would just worry about your wires . Make sure they have a fire proof sleeve

I am running 2 HIDs on my R15 now from a few weeks. Earlier i just had one HID. And if a R15s punny battery can take the 2 hids and the electrical am sure the p220s battery should work well .

55W HID's are difficult to find, and no, they DO NOT provide any significant increase in light output. Best is to go for 35W, proven, easily available and easy on bikes as well.

100W, would definitely crack the Hi Beam! But anyways when you have a 220, why do you want a 100W, when 2 HID's can provide best illumination?
And I think both the beam together are the best, better than single 100W.

Dude in 4K you can get 2 beams. Though of Chinese brand, but with Warranty. I would suggest you go for that, from my experience Chinese works perfectly.



The shifting is almost instantaneous, about few milli seconds. And you won't see any dimming or flickering while going to dual mode and vice versa.

It won't damage the HID as such, if 100Ws of extra load doesn't over stress the electrical.

Are u sure it can generate 232W of power?
How do u know?

Thats good news for me. If incase i go for such a setup i would make sure i go for better wires for sure.

Crack?
2 HID's are always better but i also need the pass light. People are quite careless here while crossing the roads. They just stop in the middle. To alert them i need the pass light. So i cant use an HID for high beam. Still iam thinking. After i collect the money i have decided to go for a low beam HID for sure. Would think about the high beam later.
Will there be any difference in illumination provided by the Chinese ones? AFAIK 4300K provides the best illumination.


Good to hear that.

For time being i have turned back to stock till the time my battery issue gets resolved. Then i will use the dual beam setup.
Perhaps i may need a better RR. Iam planning to design one.
In the future i would use either single or dual HID's. But have to collect money for the same. How about Philips HID's? Someone was telling me they cost about 14k per pair. Me and my friend can take one beam each. Are they really worth so much? Can the normal ones also provide the same intensity?

I read something called as magazines ,brouchers and I interact with people .hear things and remember.

I just happened to read it even before the 220 dts fi was launched.This is from 2006.
200 watt 3 phase magneto may be exact.
Google it if you are so doubtful , You ll find it .else ask me if you cant find it , will send link.
still doubtful , remove the coil measure it yourself . No rocket science.

I don't think you will need better wires than the stock one. You have a fuse and a very sensitive stupid box called "BCU" So wires are the least of the concern.



You can also try using both beams and then use pass beam, when needed. Basically once the HID are heated up, you can use them as pass as well.

There's no difference in light intesnisty, but from I experience I was see Chineese ones slowly loosing it's intesity. That takes about atleast 8K kilometers of riding.



I would advice against, modifying much on 220, especially FI. Else change the wiring and remove the BCU, and get to manual.

Phillips one are just 7~8K. I don't find them any great compared to Raylux. After all Phillips is also made in China, but much better quality. Genuine Bosch is better though.

Where do u find genuine Bosch or Philips HID and price u mentioned is for a pair, right?

Yes, Phillips H7 pair is about 7.5 K with normal ballasts. Bosch should be same. There are many dealers in JC Road for the Phillips, but haven't seen any dealers for Bosch.

+!. Even I heard the same. But, in case of FI, that power runs the fuel pump, injectors too. So, it is not safe to load it to the max.

so some more !!!

so guys does tat mean pulsy 220 dtsi is having some more power unused comparing to 220 DTSFI? if tat is true then in dtsi,we can use an extra spot lamp or fog lamp about 55w ,one at least?i am attaching some photos ,please comment.......

nO eXtra power , Its the same on FI and SI (Both are virtually the same bike man) , The FI pump and ECu consume hardly any power > i can vouch for that .

R15 with 3.5 amp battery running 2 HID's for 25k kms and 21/6 tail lamp bulb + ECU + FI Pump + Radiator Fan + horn + 5 w indicator bulb.

Running all these at once and still there is enough Juice . that’s on 3.5 Ah battery . You guys have 9Ah and a 200+ watt coil .

Distribute power well/sensibly and you can run almost anything .

Santa

I thought the R15 comes with 5ah battery.
Bcz to the best of what I know, batteries are available in 2.5ah, 5ah, 7ah, 9ah and 14ah for 2 wheelers.

Where did 3.5 come from !!

And how powerful is the R15 alternator? I bet it is more than 200W.

And battery capacity does not really affect how much load the bike can take on a constant basis, alternator capacity does.
