      I think you'll have to go for rewinding because my friend's battery conked off real quick when he had those....
      What do I intend to do? Stuff ZMR drivetrain into an Ambition chassis and watch others run scared!

        Hi Inder, I am right now using Osram Silverstar 55/60W bulb. I have been using the bulb for the past 1 year, and never had any problem. No need to go for any coil winding. There are so many who are using 55/60w bulb in Karizma without any modifications.

        One thing to remember is, never switch on the light and forget when the engine is off.

          I've been using a Philips 60/55W on my ZMA for almost eight months now. No changes made to coil. I've done six tours with that. No issues at all!

                    Hi Inder

                    Go ahead and put up a 55/60 W bulb. Its a straight fit with no modifications required. Just find the right kind of bulb ie P43t type.
                    Bought it from JM road.

                    Have been using it for last 6 months. No issues till now

                      can you elaborate more on that, is that just for precaution or something went wrong when you did that ??

                        Karizma wont need coil rewinding because unlike in a Pulsar the ZMA has a 188W Alternator on which you can put a 100/90 directly. Just make sure you have the correct relay installed.

                          Apart from battery drain i guess nothing will happen.

                          Battery drain will also not take place suddenly but if kept on for more than 5 min then it will surely happen.

                          From what i know we don't even need relay for putting the 55/60 W bulb.

                          Relay is required for putting dual horns like pulsar.

                            Thats good news for me. I didn't want to meedle with the electricals in any case. So which among the 55/60 W bulbs is recommended?

                            Osram? Philips? or something better (except for HIDs)
