But now here in Delhi, projector 'thingy' is booming and one can get at much lesser price.

    I hav a doubt I hav d angel eye and I saw this bulb o youtube which is yellow while in low beam and when kept on high beam it is bright white what is that bulb name ?

      Thos are H4 bulbs if I am right like these

      BTW you have not blackened the reflector. Any specific reason why? IMO using just the reflector in projector/angel eye diminishes the throw as it scatters itself inside the assembly even before coming out

        I don't hav HID so my stock bulb won't be able to give enough light and when I asked about HID people said I will have to apply for new RC book with changes about bulb

        is this H4 bulb a direct fit ?? I think FI is AC headlamp will it work ??

          Nothing like that buddy, no changes needs to be done. Its like we are getting new spectacles and we have to apply for new voter card

          HID drains a lot of battery, it will fit but you cant use it continuously , you have to get it DC first

              Try getting the reflector covered/painted in black and see the difference

                  Has the break pads been changed recently or when it was changed. Check whether they have been installed correctly...If yes check whether there is air bubbles.


                  Try to get the color code of TVS matt grey, go to a good painter and get the parts painted.
                  You had suggested a member earlier for carb cleaning as he gets hiccups.Shouls i ask my friend for clening too ?
                  He hasn't change the brake pad
                  Where can i get the color code?If you know please do share.

                  @prateek and krish- Carb cleaning at 8k odd kms.Are you guys sure?
                  Thank you

                    @ceebeer : Check the brake pads , I guess that is the culprit. Coming to you friend's bike's hiccups, if you can just give me an idea, what is the problem?
                    Yes why not for carb cleaning? Who knows the first petrol that you filled in your tank is adulterated or have some impurities

                        @prateek did you convert to complete dc for applying those changes??
                        No its still AC with two small DC Convertors to hold the battery little longer. Next on the list is the DC Conversion and Free Flow
                        Thanks for the info buddy.
                        Also one small doubt. Actually the headlamp lights diminish pretty badly when I apply brakes or when not accelerated. AFAIK it has to be because of battery issue. But I had recently charged the battery but the issue is still there. Its the stock battery & it has crossed 1.4 years precisely. I said about this issue in SVC and those guys are telling it is natural and nothing wrong with battery . This issue was not there when the bike was brand new. So it has to be because of battery is what I believe. Also I checked with a local mechanic and what he said is change the bulb & its not the issue of battery as he is the one who charged the battery for me.
                        Now I'm really confused. Even if I change the bulb will it be helpful if its not the case of bulb worn out.
                        Also can it be the case of spark plug/ throttle cable not supplying enough spark
                        Guys spread some gyan

                            Any idea how much those bulbs cost?
                            Also will it cause any overheat ?
                            ONB costs 900 and Philips 700, these were the rates when I checked last. these bulls are not worth there cost. They don't provide significant improvement over normal 55w bulb which cost 70rs . Yes they cause more hear than our stick bulbs, don't go for these bulbs without full DC conversion not some juggad. Without that they will not give you the desired output and burden the engine too.

                              Thanks for the info dude.
                              I think in that case its better to stick with the stocks.
                              Anyway I have already posted a query regarding the issues I'm facing in the stock headlamps. After I get reply on that I will decide what to do.

                                Dude I have already adviced you the same here...
                                Also check the spark plug gap.Replace it if out of specifications,dont adjust the gap.Its a good practice to change the spark plugs every 10k kms.
                                You are worried too much about it buddy.Cleaning the carb will not make great effect on the mileage as long as you dont mess with the A/F screw!
