    I don't think it has a high/low beam feature built in it. I doubt it as the P220 has only a single beam and I guess it is the Low beam that comes out of the Projector. same might be the case with the Thunderbird 500..

    the Projector is either the high beam or the low beam.. and the normal reflector type for the other beam.. how is it possible to find out whether the projector has a solenoid motor to it..?

      Low beam is the projector in both P220 and RE. Bixenon projector s have corresponding bulbs with both beams that move within the assy.

        @rreneav1987 and @Divya Sharan P220 has 2 different H7 bulbs for high/low beam. Low beam is projector in P220 and high beam is reflector. How the Bullet achieves this high/low feature? Does it have 2 H7 bulbs?

        EDIT: Found it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cXxdlY-QHU It uses 2 H7 bulbs.

          Try to get the alternator wattage for your bike, i.e, x watts at y rpm. Then, we can see if 55w bulbs can be put or not.
          Right now I dont have access to my Bike, But Whenever I get, I will surely get the Alternator Wattage. But Where should I connect the multimeter to get that details. or ASC people will be able to check and tell me? Please help.

Got an idea of fitting the H7 Projector from P220. that would need a little mod to the H4 bulb.. However, if the Thunderbird uses H4, I would any time prefer it.
              I have already done this mode in my pulsar 150 2007 model, I upgraded the headlight assay to the 220 with front faring and trust me I am using H7 100w for both low and high beam, I am running this set up for more that 3 years without any issue.

              I can share couple of pictures, which may help you!

                  I am not sure, but I guess it should be 55w!

                    Yes p220 uses 55w h7 for both high & low beam

                      I would love to see them, also where did you get 100watt H7 bulbs? I can not even find a 65watt one, 100watt H7 seems to be rare even in USA. Reading this, I'm quite interested in the project, does the 100watt bulb heats up too much? I guess you got the stator rewinded too, and what RR unit you are using?
