H4 4300k Bixenons cost around - 2.8kOriginally posted by kinshuk.arya View Post
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.Leave a comment:

finally the arrival of the HID man..... welcome.... the mods look mean....Originally posted by navnish View PostI would not agree on the 2nd point . A good bixenon with a glare cap will not blind the oncoming traffic . Tried and test on all bikes
The hella micro de what i tested is also great . No trouble for oncoming vehicles.
Currently working on a FZ now 2 micro de will be installed with some mods. its going to be mean . its going to be something similar to this 
please enlighten us with the cost figures of different kinds of HID....Leave a comment:

You're Welcome,Sir.Originally posted by aargee View Post
HIDs require a DC supply.
Im not sure about the following but older gen bikes like the Pulsars with AC setup required coil and winding for anything above a 35 Halogen bulb and pretty much all the bikes these days have enough juice to run HID.
and also note that a 35w HID draws more power than a 35w halogen ONLY at the start till it reaches its full output and then requires LESSER power than halogen!Leave a comment:

1. projector is basically a lens which focusses the beam on the road and prevents it from going haywire. it looks like a dome.Originally posted by aargee View Post
2. HID stands for High Intensity Discharge. it is a bulb without halogen gas and it will be better if you google the explanation of it. the whole kit includes a ballast and a bulb.
3. the projector is to be fitted inside the existing headlamp. to know how it looks chk out my album....
if we use hid with stock reflectors there are two problems:Originally posted by ROCKRZ View Post
1. It is ILLEGAL....
2. It blinds the oncoming vehicle which can cause an accident.Leave a comment:

Ranjit - Thanks to have explained things & that's fantastic. Looks like now I've the basics right. Now I need to get into next level of inputs & charging.
So what role does coil & winding plays here? I heard they require additional battery; is that true or will an existing battery suffice? What's the amps required by the battery?Leave a comment:

Just compare a car with HID's in its stock reflector and a car with HID-Projectors....you will understand.
I believe that running HID's on halogen domes is as bad as riding without a helmet!!cause the HID's in the halo dome can really blind the on coming driver...what if you are riding through a narrow road...a corner and a vehicle from the other side is blinded for a second...esp if the driver is a bit aged?....its good bye for you man.and hence this setup is illegal ALL over the world.Last edited by RanjithMN; 09-16-2010, 04:32 PM.Leave a comment:

Thanks guys for starting this thread & I appreciate from bottom of my heart to all the contributors. I'm kind of outdated with these techy & pardon some of my noob questions...
1. What's projector? Is it the doom or something else?
2. What's HID? Is it the bulb?
3. Is the projector to be fitted inside the existing head lamp? Or how? I'm little confused on things here & hence the silly questions.
Last but not the least, what's bi-xenon projector (or HID)? How's this different from the regular ones?

I have been hearing this since long but whats the problem if i use hid with the stock reflectors.. actually the throw of the multi-reflector is better hence i am asking. I mean other than glare to the opposite drive, whats the problem???Last edited by ROCKRZ; 09-16-2010, 12:20 PM.Leave a comment:

Nice thread there. As Nano mentioned Bi-Xenon projectors will generally use D2S type of Bulb where the Bulb doesn't do anything to change beams. Its the shield of projector which takes care.Originally posted by kinshuk.arya View Post
You also forgot to mention the Dual Tube Xenon's available in H4 type but these are not available for projectors

i thought others might have put up more inputs in this thread..
let me explain one more basic factor about HID's.
all must have heard about color temperatures, some have no idea about what it means.
here's how HID bulbs with different color temperature looks in real life..
the best color temperature regarding lumens is 4300k, its almost white, but with a slight golden tinge..Leave a comment:
