Thanx for it.

If this is of no use then what do u suggest coz im very keen on dis mod.

U guessed it right buddy, if u can throw some light then itl be very helpful.
Thanx.

That's true, i didnt coz i dint knw it that deep.
Thanx for the concern buddy, im open to all of u allz suggestions.
Thanx a lot.

Shall wait for the further developments ya.

Patiance is good and its pays back sometimes

Will this make any sense?



This is an HID reflector sold along with the kit, and the cost is $200!! Can u figure out anything similar to this available in our market? Shape itself shows its rare, but onething I noticed is almost all sealed beam for HIDs are round! Means less glare due to focussed beam. I should try one on round dome.

Looks like Bi-Cycle Light to me

Shreeni, I just passed the info what I've. dont know the specs. U can vouch the suvlights.com for more info. Anyways its an HID sealed beam, size u cant judge by seeing a small pic.

Hi Guys, I just came across this while hunting for a Good Sealed beam for HID

And whats the verdict?

Just see this link

Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

This is very useful for everyone those who want an awareness about auto electrical components and the working principles.

Goodluck to all

@sajan!! This artice explains the Pros and Cons of the HID light!!

Well most of us know about it,that is why we need it!!! to have better visual,it spreads that is why it is better!

What needs to be changed to get this setup done, I ahve pulsar 150 UG2, AC electricals.........

Firstly, u need to change the electricals to DC as the HID will run on DC only. For that u can refer these







Fcunit is bit expensive to my knowledge, if u can afford to have, go ahead, they will give u a fully fitted sealed dome for ur bike around 4-5K

Goodluck

I also join with LP, its all very informative and worth to know. How do u get all these infos? R U going to prepare for a thesis on this?

So r u concluding to Projectors is the only remedy and dumping all HID'ians into a full stop. No I wont stop until I find something, to tackle the glare issues to an extent.

No am just gathering the infos from where ever I can and I share with you guys.

Dont stop, but accept the reality, there's no permanent solution so far, at least thats what I learnt by now. U can correct if am wrong.

The above link is promoting his sealed beams and in the mean time he's pointing some of the issues of HID's and he clarifies that normal sealed beam can not tackle this glare issues as there is not beam cut off device like in the projectors.

A whacky idea of putting a glare sheild in front of the reflector?

HID with ordinary reflectors beam spread wont go beyond a particular distance and we all are wasting a good amount of light by simply gifting others lot of stray glares, floodlighting the whole surroundings as a volentary service Evenif we come up with a solution for the glares too, what about the short distance visibility of the HID beam spread? Surely there's something we can do with the round beams as the focus will be more precise than the other shapes.

The intense light from the HID can be tackled or focussed by an ordinary reflector, thats why its getting scattered, all will end up with Projectors.

I think its time to declare to all for wasting money with HID conversion kits on conventional reflectors. I am sure that all HID owners will vouch for this and they will not be satisfied with the beam spread either. SO GO FOR THE PROJECTOR HIDs if you have any plans to upgrade your lighting sytem.

At the same time, Rossi, dont giveup, come up with more new ideas to tackle this. goodluck.

Hi Guys, here's another factor about HID glares on reflector beams

The light output produced by the bulb is almost 3 times than a conventional halo bulb. So even a small amount of stray light would seem very bright to the oncoming guy.

The centre of the lightsource in HID bulbs is more towards the front of the reflector. This means that when we put a HID bulb into our housing, the lightsource is no longer at the designed focal point of the housing. See the picture below. In the lower diagram we're shifting the lightsource forward, and when the light hits the reflector pieces at the back of the housing, it comes out scattered.



Potential Solution:

Aim your headlight beams very very low. This is a must. That's the first thing I did even before my HIDs arrived, in order not to blind everyone else. So as everyone can see, this method alone isn't quite enough. But something is better than nothing.

Reduce the light output of the headlight housing. Eyelids, for example, would reduce the apparent size of the headlight housing's front lens, and might be a easy and safe solution for most people. Some people might want to smoke the lens, but I don't think that would look good with HIDs, and besides smoked headlight lens are cop magnets too.

That figure u posted, hmmm. Probably that was wrong in my Benz projector too as H1 Bulbs are longer. Let me recheck.

A smaller reflector wound minimize this problem it seems. Maybe, something like a fog lamp reflector would help.
