Quite normal but very few will notice it. Our traffic rules are based on left hand drive mannor, so it is.

Thanks mate for clarifying this.....ur knowledge on lights is flawless...gr8....u have been a gr8 help....

all right i just finished browsing through the pages, now i have a query please do help me out here guys.

i intend to get this solenoid type bi xenon projector which is OEM on a BMW 6series, made by bosch.

and they say the bulb type is D2S or D1S, now i have no clue as to how i shall find a suitable bulb to fit in this, any details on the same and their availability and cost would be really great, i intend to get 4300K temp bulbs thats all i know.

and yes this is going in to my DIRE TAURUS (formerly UNicorn). guys plz help out

sorry dint upload the pics first time.

what i did to the bike i shall write down a complete report after i am done with the bike.

as you see the only reason for going through all that trouble of making a custom fairing and retaining that round headlight is, because it has the best intensity and throw of light compared to any bike's stock reflector that come in various shapes. this is a fiero f2 mx champion's reflector. i certainly do a lot of night riding and i am very very serious about this bixenon set up. any and all the info on the same would help me and us a great deal for i am going to go all the way with this experiment if i may call it so.

the only part i am having hard time understand is, the D2S or D1S bulb types,their availability, price and as to how good and feasible they can be or if there is some way i can fit a single H1, H3, or H7 bulb in this projector setup which will later on be a plug and play and no further modding.

so guys please help me out, i have gone through a great deal of slogging, and spent both time and money to get this bike in this shape mates. i appreciate all the help i can get.

and more over, when i order a bi xenon projector and get it, i intend to get rid of this round reflector and opt for a aerodynamic one, and still retain the bike like a naked roadster, may be the CB twister's head light or perhaps the Dazzler's headlight set this time.

i am waiting for the responses do tell. thank you.

BMW E46 X5 E64 06-09 RED BI XENON PROJECTOR HID HOLDER : eBay Motors (item 250614063191 end time Jun-11-10 07:51:39 PDT)



now thats the link i was looking up in the ebay, i intend to buy that or a similar set and i want you guys to tell me which bulbs to buy for these and which hid kit to go with.

also the pros and cons of fitting this on my bike would be great. i have not touched the electricals of the bike, i just played with the engine and the body works for better performance and stability and ofcourse sitting posture and blah blah... i shall talk about that in the report.

but what are the pros and cons of installing this bixenon and a HID kit (4300K) in this and feasibility options please.

Nice attempt, but do u think the landed cost will only be this much? U'll've to face the customs duty other than shipping cost.

If u do some mod on the bulb base, u can fit a H1 onto a D2S socket, I think Shree can vouch this. 4.34K CT is the best for visibility but for showing off u can consider 5k a very good balance between visibility and showoff too. Uni's electricals will support an HID without doing any mods as per Shree's words. But using a Halo, u may need to put another parallel charging system for long rides.

Fitting on a naked dome, is a pain as u wont've much space to hide all harness, ballast etc. If its about a halo, then it wont be a problem I think, but still, u need to shell out a lot of time for positioning the lens into the dome as its a trial and error trick.

thank you for the quick reply mate, see the thing is even though i am going to get a naked dome, i am sure there will be enough space in the airfilter box that i dont use any more to fit the ballast and other electricals. and post that its a used item and mostly one of my friends or cousin would carry this down with out the packing saying they are used. i am just hoping that would not be a problem would it?

and is it only the H1 or will i be able to use any other size bulb in this holder on this projector, which be a little less heavy on the pocket?. and of course i am sticking to 4300K CT.

dude and regarding upgrading the eletricals i have no clue and i dont think any one does it in Hyderabad, if its the coil winding, then can some one please tell me the details of what gauge wire to pick up, any brand and how many number of windings to be made to the coil?.

Its a great idea of getting a Bi-Xenon projector in the headlight...try using the original Uni dome for fitting the light, get the connections for headlight directly off the battery coz HIDs work on DC as well as the Solenoid of the HI-LO beam is a DC coil...there are in depth procedures for fitting the Projector in this thread...and post the pics once the conversion is complete

Did anybody tried to fix a low beam projector assembly of p220 in other headlight assembly?

I just got a free projector from one of the bikes which met with an accident. And on a plan to try it on my p200 or santro. The main constraint is of high beam. Experts throw some ideas over here

And this is my old HID bulb, cant fit into a projector




I've ordered a similar type of hid kit from ebay.
it will arrive in few days,
BUT can i not use it to work with a projector ??? as its mentioned here.

i was looking for a skoda projector but should i stop searching??
please throw some light.......

Are you the same guy who had put ZMA fairing on Unicorn earlier ??

Anyways coming to 35w HID, provided you have a decent battery Unicorn can handle the load without any mods. Atleast my bike is doing it. Thou ull ve to mod the tail lamp with LED's.

D2S, better forget it if you want in India. I tried various places but it was close to impossible to get it. But ofcourse you can import them. There are various websites offering them (but in pair).

H1 can be accommodated with some Jugad but I can't vouch for the focusing.

Hey guys . I am ordering some HIDS again . Let me know what all holder types required . I can get it . PM the holder types will send you the pricing.

[QUOTE=NANOtechnology;435259]Dude, its very very misleading concept everyone following incl me. But once I got the lens, everything cleared. U cant fit an H4 bulb into a projector, if u've any idea to upgrade to projector, dont buy the HID kit before the lens.


See the hole for the bulb to be inserted and the base is entirely different. This is most of the lens kits pattern. Now u decide, how u can mod an H4 to a H1 or to even a D2S.



This is another type of HID bulb with Universal bulb base convetor, even this wont fit into a lens.

IT'S THE THUMB RULE. PLS NOTE THIS. Many of us will go for the HID first and then source a lens from either from after market or junk yard and start worrying about fixing it. Its a mess and u wont get the correct beam too as the focus wont be correct. There r instances in this thread I believe. So buy a lens first and then go a for a suitable HID kit for that. BTW, Skoda lens uses H7 and H1 AFAIK.

yes i believe some ppl have fit the P220 proj. on other bikes and if its done well,its performs well but i remember reading in Team BHP tht its not advised to use the P220 proj. in a car....do a google.

[QUOTE=sajjt;435309]circuit conversion only to the headlight unit to provide dc to the headlight would work without any hassle as rewinding is not done??

these questions might have been answered before but the are confusing me more and more so i wrote here.
