finally the arrival of the HID man..... welcome.... the mods look mean....
please enlighten us with the cost figures of different kinds of HID....

H4 4300k Bixenons cost around - 2.8k
Any holder type 4300k Single beams - 2.2k
H4 4300k Halogen + hid cost - 2.4k

I saw a lot of projectors and most of them in terms of output were sad. Bixenon projectors bulky and big . So i finally got a hella micro de . Its sturdy and the light output is really sharp and neat .

People are spending 5k for Projectors i would suggest check the hella micro de once before spending . Hella Micro de costs 5.5k for a pair .
This is what all you will get in 5.5k


Many guys are looking for external lights with hids they can do something similar . All the below bikes are using the hella micro de.







I have attached a pic what i took few weeks back. Will post some pics in action later.

Man that looks pretty neat, from where did u get that in Bangalore?

Once again - Thanks Kinshuk & Ranjith
Will check the album; So if I understood right, the HID is fixed inside the projector; the projector is fixed inside the existing dome. Correct me, if my understanding is incorrect.

Have a vague understanding that the light would be too much & it is the projector that helps to focus the light properly & limits the brightness.

Ok, but how much ampere? What should be the power of battery? Does an Activa's 5amps battery suffice for HID as well as serve the stock vehicle? Or does it require additional 5amps or more battery?

Why a coil winding is necessary? Is it to charge the battery? If yes, how much output is required from the generator?

Is it the load current you're talking about? I couldn't get much here. Appreciate an brief answer.

What's this Holder Type? I couldn't get

Is this a BiXenon or a regular HID?

I thought a projector is always required to fit a HID. Is this something a new funda? If my assumption is right, Hella Micro DE doesn't require a doom & they're a straight fix to the motorcycle & doesn't need a dome to protect the projector lens. Pls help understand!!!

If I'm not wrong, the pic contains...
- Two HID's (probably for top & bottom)
- Wires to connect from battery to the HID
- Clamp to hold mount the HID's
- Projectors are missing or not required for Hella Micro DE

are you sure regarding the cost??? cos i had asked about 6 months ago at the pune office and i got a reply that the set will cost 15000 as single and 27500 as a set and hence i was thinking of only the hid but now since you are saying that its gotta be cheaper, i will love to fit the projector instead of the hid only

The Hella micro de dont come with HIDs they come with halogens 60/55w to be precise.

You need to buy a HID separately. it will turn out expensive but this is the best combo for getting good light output and a sturdy light .

answers in blue

many guys in goa have fitted an hid in Dio dont know whether they have changed anythings or not but i think activa's battery should be ble to take it...

so basically if anybody wants to fit a hella micro de with hid it will cost 2.8k for the hella and 2.4 for the hid.... but that is better than a projector and hid in terms of cut off and glow...

Hey,
That was 6 month old story man.
A guys here in xBHp (Puneet1) is offering bi-xenon with projector lamp.
Looks street legal set up to me.
You can contact him at Puneet1

He does it in Mumbai it seems, so should not be a problem for you as you are in Pune.
I am planning to get it fitted on my Karizma when I plan to visit Mumbai.

Let me know if you do it successfully.

Sorry Navnish, I'm too dumb for you ; I couldn't understand a bit. Are you saying Hello Micro DE is a projector or completely a different breed? If yes how?

Also is it some kind of lens or something that comes with an ordinary 60/55W Halogen bulb. If one requires more bright (in terms of white light), they need to fit a regular HID?

Oh!!! which means, Hella Micro DE comes with default Halogen. Right?

Thanks Puneet. I'm getting a hang of it. Appreciate your answers.

But why two single beam? Is it to make it look like Fazer, R15 etc?

Aah!!! Just wanted to touch base on this topic before the amps. Thanks for that.
Questions
1. Why does the entire motorcycle needs to be on DC?
2. I know horn, turn lights & one line to rear lamp is DC, while other line & head light is AC. By "full" what all are covered by DC in addition to these?
3. Higher rate of charging, I can understand, but how much? Is there a thumb rule as how much of output is required by generator to charge it?
4. How about fitting another additional battery exclusive for this projector & HID?
5. Last but not the least, I've an option to fix a HID or a Halogen bulb to a projector. Right? If yes, I can fix any amount of watts right?

Look above, he's posted.

hella micro de is a Lo beam halogen projector . its sealed so can be used externally on bumpers etc .

an 35 watt hid typically consumes about 3.5 amperes current after bulb stabilises in 10-20 seconds , till then it takes in upto 8-10 amperes .

to make sure no battery issues are there an RR unit should be making atleast 4 amps at 4000 rpm .

Hid needs dc current to operate . it cant run on ac unlike halogens which work on both .

a rookie question about RR unit...

how many windings does a normal rr unit have and what is the charging rate at that time?? and how many windings should be done to increase it to 4Amps at 4000rpm..

Mishtake ..

This makes me wonder if it can be fitted on ZMA.
I think ZMA's got DC circuit, not sure though.
Also, it's got 7A battery.
Would it be sufficient or it will need an upgrade to 9A battery?

the 7ah battery is more than enough to handle a 60/55w halogen and/or an hid
