HID's are basically meant to be used within projectors to channelise the light. If u just use it within a multi-reflector setup like on our bikes, it just leads to scattering of the light. And the light being of a very high intensity and in pure white blinds oncoming traffic. That is why most vehicle drivers get scared! Its actually illegal to use HIDs without projectors.

yes it should scare people.. and should be used to teach people lesson (those who always ride on high beam) which makes the person comign from the opp direction blind and causes accident!

Actually, I too thought this was the case, until I did some research and found that there are two types of HIDs.

D2R
D2S

The D2R's are HIDs that can be used with reflectors. Normally they come with custom reflectors that can be retrofitted on cars or bikes of your choice.

I can has help ?

Why would you want to scare fellow drivers? It can cause only danger, to you as well as other innocent riders!

@ gore

Well install a HID headlamp, use the pass switch when u see any vehicle coming and BAM!

You'll have a blind man driving a vehicle which will most probably go off street and hit something/someone or....
even come and collide you head on if its an undivided road.

Sounds fun?? Huh??

**julianpaul** · 06-03-2009, 08:59 PM

^^ +1

just because another road user isn't courteous doesn't mean you do the same.

using an hid in retaliation to others riding with a high beam is just childish. using an hid in a proper reflector so that you can see the road better at night WITHOUT being a nuisance to other road users is how it should be.

bikers have a pretty bad name with most non-riders. things like this make it worse.

**blisteringintelligence** · 06-03-2009, 09:00 PM

Guys why is this particular use of HID's being promoted!!!

@Gore: Use Hid's but for the purpose they are meant to, Please have mercy on poor souls on the highway...

@haxor: Man why give importance to some fools knowing that its not going to be of any use. Listen to the biker inside you - Ignore the posers on highways...

@Nithanth: Totally agree

@Pawan: Yeah Fun indeed

Have you seen this thread? http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/desi-bik...ic-all-dc.html

I support the use of HID on bikes. It should be used responsibly, no doubt, but SHOULD be used in the first place. Cagers have very minimal respect for anyone coming from front. After passing and missing a couple of cagers coming from front with their headlight beam at High, and car speakers at max volume so that they are so disconnected from the surroundings, like they are playing some damn video game, you may want to rethink this whole thesis of 'road courtesy'.

Bikers, just for being the smallest ones on road, shouldn't necessarily be the most humble creature, taking any $hit from any damn cager/truck at night. I say use HID responsibly. If you land in a hospital just because some a$$ didn't think it was worth reaching the upper/dipper switch, no one will be patting your back "well done, atleast you didn't cause any discomfort to others!"

This is an interesting info. Which HIDs do we have here? D2R or D2S?

@me is rossi: from where did you fit the HID? What's the version of your pulsar?

One more questions. I heard HIDs are not useful in rains. How much truth in that sentence.
