    Actually, I didn't know how much a decent 55/60w bulb would cost (except for the Osram NB, of course... and hence I was considering keeping the 35/35W for some more time). Thanks for your help man.




    Got it. Thanks for your inputs Abhilashabhi12. I'll consider the Avy bulb.

    Could someone also point me in the direction of a good white bulb now please?

    (Am I harping on the white bulb note too much out here?)
    Yeah! Normal colored bulbs give the best lighting. Whilte/blue bulbs cuts out some of the light!
    Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

      it is better to stay with normal bulbs.. Although I have not had personal experience with Osram NB the ones who have used it complain about its bad when it rains.. it seems the visibility is very poor during the rain in white bulbs.. so it is better you stick to normal bulbs.. you can also try osram silver star which is 55/60w & emits yellow shade ( a tad whiter than normal philips) it costs around 120bucks it seems..

      See changing the bulbs & checking it is not a big deal you can try both the options & check which one suits you better

        What I have on my 2005 model and it came with HS1 and not H4.

        May be he is refering his current set up which is H4 which he states that he has converted to DC.

        I'm not saying Osram NB sucks, only the HS1 type 35/35w bulb does. What he is refering is to a different type altogether. HS1 and H4 are not same. H4 are generally used for LCV and above, so; naturally if he had installed one, should be uncomparable to 35/35w. Am I correct?

        I hope this clears the confusion.
        HS1 and H4 are almost the same but only thing that differs is the way bulb holds that too very minor thing. Even the 3 pin connector is the same.

        BTW to the best of my knowledge and experience, all Unicorn's starting from 2004-2009 have H4 bulbs. I do have old (using for experiment) and new reflector unit on bike.

        U can put H4 in place of HS1 and vice versa. Probably your bulb is defective or not sure but FOR me 35w, no matter which brand is useless for safe riding. (except HID's )

        Best bet for U bro.. change over to new Reflector of New Gen Unis & Install H4 bulbs if it is possible..

        Else go for a Typical Round doom of Fx or yezdi &put H4 bulbs

        M runing on H4 in a Fiero Fx doom & it is way better than stock
        Abhi..!!! Your's was not HS1.

        HS1 looks like this... Also called H4-HS1..

        H4 looks like this...

            @Shreeni - Thanks for the delayed clarification on bulb/types.

            I got Philips HS1 from Honda today. It costs 200bucks. Will fix it tomorrow.

            I remember when I bought the bike, it was costing around 130 only.

                Well, today I went G.P Road, Chennai it is known for automobile spares. I was suprised that I could not get Philips headlight for two wheelers. When asked at Hardeep Auto - Dealer. He was able to pull some chineese stuff as an alternate. I was not quite convinced with the product. When asked about Philips he said that distributors have not supplied for quite sometime.

                I could not find or even know the real price of Philips 35/35 HS1. Can somebody check in your city to know if available at retail and the price they quote? Thanks.

                  Didn't check with 35w. Sorry saw your post now.

                  90/100w Philips Rally Bulb for 130rs. So once Abhi is done with rewinding stuff i ll ve to wear sun glass to face his light.
