    if i don plan on gettin a projector
    the high beam and low beam would work like in normal bikes.
    where can we find the projectors like what brand name to be specific?
    and bixenons are neeeded for dual beam right?
    Shree'd taken the privilage to answer still, here's mine, there's no specific brands for HID as almost 95% from China with lot of brands may be factory will be common for some brands. But keep in mind that, if u buy a H4 HID, then u cant fix it to any projectors as the size is entirely different except the H7, but there too, u'll've some focus issues. My first HID kit is idle bcz of this.

    You get Bi-Xenon HID's means Both Hi and Low are HID bulbs.
    Other is Single Xenon - Hi beam HID and Low beam Halogen.

    Projectors readily available will be either too expensive or very low quality lens. If you wish to put Projectors then its hell of DIY job for which you should be ready to spend hours/days to get the right setting.

    I feel its better you can opt for 3000k/4300k HID (beware of cops) or a 55/60w halogen (cheaper mod).

    Regarding reflector melting, yes it does melts over a long period of time (may be 1 or 2 years of extensive usage) if you use halogen. With HID's I don't think it will happen.
    Shree I really appreciate the patience u've paid for the projector mod. In y case it was not that demanding as its a plug and play kit, but still its boring once u repeat the alignment process. So I know its a real painful and boring job. Is it readily available there? Here I cant see even a single peice in any access shops and whoever see my lens, wants to know from where I got this.

    Yeah 4.3-5K is cop and user friendly , as it's almost resembles the halo CT. 60W halo, will it melt the reflector? I changed 3 times bcz of 90/100, before that on 60W not even a patch was found. On a DC setup, current and voltage is more stable than in AC lighting. In my Swift, its Philips Rally 90/100 for the past 3 years and not even a mark on the reflector. I tried with the same setup in AC in bike and brightness was very evident in AC than DC.

    now finally my doubts are cleared.
    now gotta save up for the lamps
    and one more.for fittin 55/60w halogen lamps we must do rewinding right?
    For a Pulsar u need to rewind to support a 55/60W halo else, go for a coil change with Avy 200 costs only 550/-. No other change is required, but for long night rides, a relay implimentation is highly recommended, and u'll get more brightness through a relay with higher guage wire.

What would be the issue. I dont want to spoil the projector and reflector again by removing it. I need to ajust it and dont know what is the problem.
    Congrats man, why dont u put the pics?

    Seems u've got some alignment issues which can be done by taking a projection on a white wall and do it. Usually u need to do this before making holes on the reflectors by marking after getting a good pattern and get it fixed, BTW, u've got a P220 LB lens? Why dont u adjust the screw for beam ht adjment? If u can adjust the ht, forget about the right side kerb lighting if u dont want to mess with the reflector.

    Mayur
    I've got it from a friend of mine from HK, which is 35W, but its got very wide beam spread, may be more apt for a car. So am planning to fix it to my new Chevy Beat which is expected to be delivered next week. But I've to discuss with the SC about this to make sure that warranty should not get screwedup bcz of this. As u know all Chevy's are coming with 3yr warranty or 1Lakh KMs which ever is earlier, in my case I wont cross 1lakh in 3 yr, so I've to be care ful about this.

    Mayur, P220 LB is quite impressive, u can search for a good H7 HID for this and plonk one good aux lamp for HB, normal Bixen lens wont give u an impressive HB unless u do some mods which am planning to raise sheild some more wider.

        • Wow, so much of developments. Sajjt, congrats on ur new Beat purchase. Hows the test drive? Chevy's offered it in a nice VFM package, 1.2L car at the cost of 1L car. Hows the delivery time? Heard that a long wait for the car. Will expect a test drive too may be ownership experience too.

          But I dont think a headlight mod will tamper the warranty as in case of insurance too 50% will be cut and there's no warranty for these items like bulbs. Any way its better to talk to them before u take out for modding.

          So I will make a guess, before getting the projector mod, the very next day the idle HID will be on the car Am I right? As a light enthusiast, u cant left that peice idle for long. Am 4 sure.


          Glaxtus, how did u got that H3 projector? H3 is meant for fogs mainly, pls post the pics of the kit also. How much u paid for that?

          Some fellow members are claiming that after switching to Avy coil, their charging rates have been improved, Any logic?

              I know H3 is ment for fog. But with a HID it is the best in class for light production. Need to ajust the beam as it is slighly tilted right. Will post beam pattern once ajusting it. Will be doing it when the Sunlight goes down. Here is some images...

                Rossifan, thanks, test drive, its an off topic though, yeah fine with any other similar segment, only thing is foot wear is so thin to sqeeze max FE, I was looking for A Star, but after the Beat launch, I choose that as its more VFM when compare the whole package. No it took only less than 1 week as the sr sales person was a friend of my friend, so no waitings, somehow he managed to give the delivery.

                Yeah I dont want to mess up the warranty once I had an issue so I'll make sure that HL mod wont tamper the warranty.

                Though its a wild guess Oh mann U r right, I'll plonk the HID kit the next day itself. Tomorrow I'll get the delivery. Am a spoilt fan of HID. cant live with the OEM Halos.

                Pls post the beam spreads too. Fog light beam spread is different from driving lights as it should be more focussed to a very small area to light up, whereas driving light spread will be more wide. But as Glaxtus said, with an HID, it'll be more than enough for a bike.

                  will the H7 HID fit in the P220 proj. ?
                  and how hard is it to open the head lamp unit of SKODA to take out the projectors?do the workshop ppl do it?and do they also have H7 type HIDs?
                  and what all will i have to do to fit the SKODA projectors(along with its HID) to my FZ,in terms of electricals?only get a H4-H7 converter?

                  thanks a ton!

                  Yes, an H7 HID will fit in a P220 socket as the stock is H7.

                  Oops, no idea, I am yet to see a Skoda lens for a trial. I heard that its an H7 if its a LB projector and fogs are H3, Shree's having one so he can vouch it. But its not a big thing, only thing is mounting brackets u've to fabricate and the shroud too, bcz, without shroud, it doesnt look nice. I dont know anyone here who is doing this mods as its a time consuming affair in mounting as well as aiming the beam spread. A fellow member'd already done a P220 lens to a FZ some where in the thread, pls have a look.

                  Lenses can be costly and it all depends on the functionality such as if its coming along with an HID kit, its worth to go for 3-5K provided it should be working condition. Remember, no one will throw away a working HID kit for scrap price unless his wallet is itching. But there are chances to get an working HID too. Its better to check and buy. Else, go for a HID conversion kit and fix it to the stock assy and forget. U'll get a pair of HIDkit for 6K and share among ur friends. The only bottleneck will be there will be sometimes only one wiring harness but it can be tackled with a relay.

                  • Thank you Sajan.
                    Since i have the P220's headlight dome,i want to remove the Proj+Halo and fix it in my FZ's dome.
                    So once i remove the proj. frm it what other materials ill need to mount it?
                    and how did you cut the reflector?
                    im really banking on your advice for this mod Sajan!

                    Thanks a ton!

                      Good to have a P220 lens with u, as its very compact than any aftermarket kits and results too. Its got 4 mounting screws to be bolted to the reflector in ur case, if possible get a damaged dome to do the experiment than tampering the original one. U dont need to cut the reflctor I think its a direct fit within the reflector cavity. I just made some room for the projector kit by cutting the back side of the reflector with a hacksaw blade. Since FZ is a naked type dome, cutting can invite water inside the dome. One fellow member'd fixed this lens on his FZ reflector just by making 4 holes on the reflectors. So pull out the glass, find a good position for the corect beam, then mark the reflector and make holes and fix it, Its not a direct bolt on job as it doesnt've any align screws like in some aftermarket projectors. Its a time consuming job, but its neccessary to get results. Make a custom shroud for the lens else, it wont look nice on day time. If u've more time, go for an AE with LEDS and acrylic rods will add more spice to the finish. GOod luck.

                        dont i have to jst make holes on the relector and tigthen the screws?
                        btw what is a "shroud"...sry!

                          Means u just can't simply bolt it and start using, needs beam alignment as its a normal practice, that all I meant. Yes, once u found a good position, make the hole and fix. Shroud is a cover for the lens sides which gives the finished looks and restricts the light coming thru the sides of the vents. Once u fix the lens and lightup, u'll get easily convinced the importance of a shroud. Naked installations wont be looking good on day times.


                          Without shroud


                          With Shroud
