That amounts to Rs 750 just for the headlight.

AFAIK the lens is designed for the heat of HID. And 100w heat is damn high. Forget the battery part, you lens will go for a toss first along with battery. Lens and Battery will be doing party in hell

@DOC: Lol!
A friend of mine is using a 65watt Halogen on his FZ without any issues at all. The bike also has roots windtone twin horn. Still no battery issues.But 100 may overload. Your headlight reflector too will get fried.

no,a big no,the battery will see a white light and soon start its journey for it..........

hey guys i have a h3 projector and the bulb in it is 55w... can i use a 100w bulb in it and will fz's battery be able to handle the load???

i agree with shree.
that you need hid for high too at highways at speed..
if i cruise on the highways at 80 or above, the cut off seems very very short..
the thing is that our retina gets used to the light below the cutoff, so above cut off it seems more darker than it actually is..
i nearly missed a huge pothole today as it was visible only when in entered my hid zone, i was cursing arr 90 and hitting it would have been fatal, so i do need an equally powerful high beam also..
i did keep both the beams on later that incident, but to be honest its nothing in front of hid...
it hardly makes a difference as the retina is used to what it sees near..

as far as flashing is concerned, i already have gave up that habit as the diode is still not made...
one never needs a high beam in city, as roads are well lit, besides if high beam is a problem for others of which even i am a victim, so i will use it only on the highways...

imagine this,
if i enter a pitch dark hilly area, with twisty roads, a cutoff would be a big problem, as long distance view is null..
i had a near miss today, maybe i won't be that reactive, alert or lucky tomorrow..

we have 8 lane highways here, so oncoming vehicles are very far away from the sight as the other side of the road is well spaced...

besides, if i use this halo/hid combo battery consumed by that 55w high beam is higher, totally getting into arr 100w..

both hid's will make it brighter and also less power consuming i think, (correct me if i am wrong)
if hilly areas and high speed runs on highways is concerned a well defined and equally powerful high beam is necessary, its okay to give up flashing..
something for something..

contact navnish,he is the guy for hid.

hi,

I am looking out for this bi xenon bulbs,I am from Hyderabad and i have searched the local market for the hid bulbs.Most of the guys here have the bulbs hid for high beam and small halogen for low beam.

and in some shops they have one hid bulb with solenoid arrangement.

Can you please let me know where you got this bi xenon bulbs please?

Well bro, I agree that low beams are sufficient for city rides. But when it comes to high speed cruising on high ways, I will definitely need distant vision + close vision. And I don't want to compromise on anything.

If I can source a spare headlight unit of the ZMR then probably I might work on it for the Projector setup. Until then I will stick to stock reflector. As I said, I don't want my bike to look bad. And I don't ve an option to mount anything on crash guard. The only option was the Dual HID !!

Putting HID on High beams is blinding others and waste of money IMO. Most of the time I must say that 99% I'll be using low beam only. Infact that is my practice even with a 35W halo. I use the HB for flashing in night, in day time I use the spots for the same. I just use it for reminding these care less drivers that am nothing short of it.

I don't know how u guys are using it, but think of it before u being a high beam rider. Some times I really want to break the opposite high beam drivers head for using it without any responsibility. A$$.... nothing more to call these morons.

Shree I don't want to spoil ur enthusiasm,may be its more useful on touring. All I want to convey is use it judiciously.

I will be using the stock reflectors, I am not a fan of projector anymore (As I don't want to do some juggad and make my new bike look shabby )

Don't you think, I told you to swap to HID for High beam also But 1 thing, you will have to sacrifice your habit of using pass light.

Regarding your light getting brighter day by day, please do check the charging volts. It is very much necessary to keep an eye on that if u feel something is go wrong. Its for precaution. Anyday precaution is better than cure, right ??

c'mon shree its an honor for me that all you guys are discussing everything related to hid here...
one can find this as the most informative, as well as detailed thread regarding hid's...
guys will find it easier to know here than multiple threads..
let there be light is toooooo populated to grab an info..

please please all of you, continue here only...

you didn't answer my question regarding projectors...

besides, now i am thinking of changing the higher beam to hid too

it looks like nothing in front of this hid..
all i can see is something candle light kinda thing above the cut off...
what say, should i ???

i dunno why but my light is turning brighter day by day...

Well

After using HID in Unicorn, am not that addicted to flashing. So not a problem. Again with the twin tube also I can flash, only thing is both filaments will glow.
But to avoid that I will keep a switch in between low and high so I can turn both together only when I need, not always.
To use this setup in city, thinking to get the headlight glass smoked black or is there any solution.?

@Nano - Sorry bro if I am hijacking your thread. You want me to start a new thread or can i continue here?

HOLY MOLY!!!.
NAVNISH once mentioned about this dual tube fitting once but never really interested in this.
there will be sooooooo much ligh and spread will be boooom!!from low beam to high beam ,it will cover all and some more.
damn,zmr is havin a good quality reflector unit so it will be able to take the laod+heat.
\i think low beam on+/- hi beam is that the setup it will work shree?flasing will be a problem i must say,a bixenon is a better option only in respect to night time dim/dipper situations,but apart from that,holycow,it will be good.

light maniac hein sajju bhai?.i just wanted to see just like a car ,ok bit better then a car but shree,omg,he will gonna burn everything in front.

@shree please put up a stiker on the zmr saying"This vehical is capable of producing some mind blowing and eye melting performance, please use appropiate safty gears before even thinking to see it in action".

So wanna screw the whole thing in front of u without the glare shield. I think it will create a hell lot of glares than ur first one. How much was the damage?

Here comes one more light maniac, Drji, u r not alone.

Was visualizing the the scene with the effect of twin tubes Beware of cops man.

How will u flash with this?
