Oh headlights! I have seen headlight inadequacy threads since the last 12yrs or so! I face the same problem, may be even worse than you since I have a Gixxer with a non existing high beam.

1. It is true 60/55w is not enough, ideally you need 130/100w of halogen lighting power as in most cars (2 x 60/55W bulbs).

2. Watts are watts so a so a 35w HID should not cause battery drainage. But if it is, it means it's drawing high current during startup. A sign of cheap low quality bulbs.
Kindly mention which hid bulb, it's price, and where you bought.

3. Most 150cc street bikes have stators that are inadequate for long term usage of high wattage bulbs.
As long as your stator is new and functioning well it should be good enough for 60/55w. Upgrading to avenger stator alone isn't good enough. But upgrading both the stator and the bulb to 100/90W should do the trick (assuming P150 has a 9Ah battery).

Do note that high power stator with a small battery will lead to overcharging and electrode damage which inturn will lead to low battery life. You might also want to throw in a battery protection circuit.

Lastly you mentioned about LED headlights being good. Please mention which light, it's cost and where to purchase. Do post pictures of it, at least a picture from Google.

Hi Brijesh,
Headlight issue is a national problem from kashmir to kanyakumari. I have changed the stator coil as a DIY.
Regarding your gixxer headlight problem, I have seen many gixxer with HID fixed into the reflectors. it really gives good throw and there's no glaring the oncoming traffic, Give it a try.

1. It is true 60/55w is not enough...
Yes it'll not be enough, better than worst 35w halogen.

2. Watts are watts so a so a 35w HID should not cause battery drainage. But if it is, it means it's drawing high current during startup.
Yes, I use cheap HID chinese kit. but after changing the stator coil the draining of battery is reduced.

3. Most 150cc street bikes have stators that are inadequate for long term usage of high wattage bulbs.
I use amaron 9 ah MF battery, already updated the stator coil.

Note: I have changed the stator coil and changed the headlights to 35W HID. No draining issue in 3 days. how ever will comment on this part later.
need to try 55W halogen if the draining continues.

End story : Problem Solved Partially.

I also doubt if using 100/120 bulbs on pulsar reflectors, it'll burn the reflectors for sure.

Suggestions are always welcome.
The LED light is use will be like below. i bought it from ALI express. there are hefty numbers in ALI EXPRESS. i used H4.

Thanks!

By changed u mean rewound the coil or u used the coil of some other bike like A180?.

Also glad to hear your problems are solved. Will give 35w HIDs a try.

Thank you.
