  • Need Suggestions For Upgrade of Hero Honda Karizma Headlight !

    Hello ! My name is Amit Kumar Bose. I own a 2006 Hero Honda Karizma 225 Sports (The 1st Generation One). My headlight was 35/35W as it came from factory till 2019 December but after that I changed it to Osram Rallye HS1 Halogen 62185RL 45/40W without any modification. The Visibility increased but not much. I urgently need to upgrade the light of my Karizma because these days my Highway riding has increased in a particular route Kolkata - Jamshedpur - Kolkata (300Km approx).

    As for now my Headlight is running in HS1 setup with Exide 7Ah Battery.

    What will be the best modification that I can do ?

    How much will it cost ?

    Do I have to change the alternator ?

    As per discussion with a Mechanic - He said I need a H4/HB2 Headlight Ceramic Bulb Holder 3 Pin Female Socket with Wire Cable & a Relay of 12V40Ah and then can fit Philips H4 12342 Premium Halogen Headlight Bulb (60/55W) which will give me a decent visibility.

    I therefore request to kindly suggest me.

      Philips Extreme vision plus 55/60 is the best option.
      No need to change anything. Use as stock replacement

      The bikes are very smart, but it's still up to you to keep the rubber side down.

                Not required, if you are going for anything above 55/60 like 90/100 or something like that, then u need a relay and a ceramic holder.
