    dude..
    doc is planning to fit this projector inside the round sealbeam
    am i right doc??

    high beam will come after coil re-winding...

    good work doc, i was just about to ask you that why not settle for projector in your setup..
    besides i think it would be h4, similar to sajit's projector, right??

    its under r and d under mr bibek joti dey in xbhp
    if i am not wrong its a pulsar headlight....

    ok guys
    here comes the pics as promised...

    however I'm not satisfied as the road was wet and reflecting a lot of light..

    i did get a hang of a dark road without traffic, but the poor thing was that 1 swap to high beam killed my hid as well as my battery, after riding a bit and coming again, a flickering hid is what i got, so i couldn't show you the cut off, on a wall and high beam as how long it was and so and so...

    I'll go this Saturday to get coil re-rewinding done,
    I'll show every road possible in and around mumbai with this combo setup on request then..

    eventually as i said earlier, wet road reflects a lot of light, so hid visible in these pics is much more stronger in real time...

    also I've adjusted my beam a bit higher as i use LOW only at all times, so in this setup, my high beam is parallel to the road...


    here is it guys
    the darkest road (non trafficked) i could get my bike to.







    just a pic to let you guys know where my bike is..






    behold the CHAMPION hid Low beam






    that's the entire road... (hid started flickering here)







    I'm still not satisfied with these pics, but couldn't keep you guys waiting more...

    these are standard camera settings with flash off...

    if you notice the beam spread carefully, you'll notice that it is uneven a bit as 2 patches of less light fall below...
    this patches are developed due to the holes in the projector...

    a lot of light gets wasted due to this, the battery was dead or else i would have shown you people as how my dome, console and forks glow even brighter than the projector ...


    sorry for late post, was busy earlier...

    well your right, i actually don't need a high beam, due to good low beam...
    but it takes time getting used to hid's bro, you may know better, i never kept high beam parallel to the road before until now...
    previously my high beam was above low beam both pinted on the road..
    my high beam now is parallel..
    I'll work upon a diode this weekend and then will be happy to flash...
    and yes ONLY to flash...

    hid is killer...

    high beam swap then switches off hid, but high beam works.
    if my battery is a bit low due to low charging from coil in traffic, only then this happens...
    at highways both work wonderfully...
    infact the battery performance has improved today more than yesterday...

    well
    its strange that you use say a 150-160w with just 4 poles

    and how could you imagine my expression..
    you were right....

    so far i dunno i seem to be satisfied...
    but still i might do it when the time comes...
    but finally
    i know i kept you guys waiting a lot for beam pics,
    bear with me for some more days guys you won't be disappointed....

    U NEED TO REWIND AGAIN

    I dont use my spots as driving lights, just for flashing or even to warn the oncoming fellow to dip. So that can be taken care of from the batt without much issues. But I tried once for 15-20 mins with the spots facing down and no issues that time.

    Dude, at the time of my rewinding there was not even an idea of DC conversion, so I want to keep my batt charging coils. Without that 3 poles I was able to glow a 100W for 6 months at the cost of 3 HL assy. 130W+ from 4 poles balance will be very minimal from the batt if I switch on the spot may be thats the reason am safe.

    Anyways a decently rewinded coil will give u very good results may be mine was one of that.

    BTW, why do u want to use this HB continuously if u have a nice low beam? P220 HB is a killer if u flash, so imagine the what would be in result if u use it continuously

    i rode my bike in city today with low beam for 20-30 mins and in the highways for 20 to 30 mins too.

    low beam worked wonderfully
    high beam swap at city roads did shut my hid once so i didn't bother to do it again and stayed with low..
    as soon as i touched the highway i did a trial high beam swap and it worked well...

    i rode at speed and was on both the beams for 15 mins and had no issues...

    the moral of the story is that i need to do coil rewinding again...
    12 feet per pole...

    but I'll wait for next 2500 kms as i changed to new oil yesterday, so opening it up will drain it...

    as far as things are concerned..
    i know that watts = current X voltage

    so if say my bike gives 15 volts and 3 amps at normal rpms
    then its 45 watts

    at higher rpms
    say 15 volts at 5-6 amps
    90 watts...

    in this case
    should i use 19 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?
    as 20 gauge will have more number of turns than 19 so will it produce more amps at low revs ??
    Sorry for the late reply, was offline for 3 days.

    Whats ur pumping rate dude @ 30kph? If its less than 4A then you are on power shortage. Since U've utilized all the poles and getting a decent current as you told earlier 5A, u should not face this. Am running with a 4 poles for charging and using 1 HID+2X55W spots without any issues, if its power shortage then I cant use it as am pulling double of your power draw. Cant figure out and can be some wiring loose connection or so Hoping so (I can imagine ur expression dude when u read this) but a loose connection is a real pain to find out. Have u double checked this?

    U mean to say when u r on low rpms HID fails once u flash? And at high rpms it doesnt?

    Any way check for some time and in due course, some thing will pop in mind to tackle this.
