That's nice...

Can you name the HID, I mean the brand??

there are many chinese hid available in the market ranging from 1700 for single to 12000rs per pair which are from philips....

Price is Ok, Infact better than what I had paid an year before, where is this rewinding done by the way ??

If you dont mind paying 100bucks extra head over to Ruby Electrical in lalbagh road they are the best to do this in Bangalore.

Do the rewinding & if you are lucky enough you may get juice to light 100w Bulb

thanks for the reply

I am getting this rewinding done at a local mechanic. The power to light up a 100w might be difficult because its just a 125cc.

Would it effect the warranty in anyway??

as long as the svc does not find out about it, the warranty will not be void....
but if they do they might create a problem...

actually the warranty of ANY bike is limited to its engine only. As they do not provide any warranty to the other parts of the bike except engine i thought that they will not void the warranty & hence i wanted to verify the same from you guys. Now since the SC guys just search any reason to just void the bike's warranty i didnt wanted to take any kind of risk. Still i will try to find out at the SC & then i will get the rewinding done.

Improper rewinding will hamper the performance of engine and can lead to void of warranty. A rewinded coil can easily be identified (if coil is opened) so there is no question of hiding. BTW whats ur ride on which ur planning the rewinding?

FYI not only engine parts, there are many other parts which come under warranty like the ignition coil, cdi unit, digital meter, led tail, battery (rewinding can hamper battery)

I second that, I got replaced twice the CDI unit within 6 months, and the switch gear once. Only the plastic parts like fairing, side cowls, consumables etc will be out of scope

For a Honda and HH even fairings come under warranty subject to manufacturing defect.

The HID always look better than the normal or NB bulbs. My point was that for NB, no need for projector or coil re-calculations. NB are a direct fit to FZ as they are DC batteries.

The Night breaker needs more juice from battery when compared to the HID.

So what is adviceable..to go for HID or NB?

Where to get one in Pune? Where did you get it from.

I wish to change the stock buld as I will be covering Mumbai Pune NH4 more often now at night. So the high Beam from the oncoming vehicles are blinding and with stock bulb in FZ, I see my end to near.

My Unicorn (its not a DC bike) could run a HID on stock coil/RR. Had no battery draining issues. But with NB I faced the draining a lot until I changed the RR unit.

Do you have an FZ or what?

Yes, rewinding is not necessary until and unless u think to plonk a 90/100w halogen. HID (35w) consumes less power than NB (55/60w).

So as per above HID 35W is better than NB55W/60

there are many chinese hid available in the market ranging from 1700 for single to 12000rs per pair which are from philips....

Which exactly would be a good deal? Does chinese have warranty? Can't really depend on chinese bulbs..who knows they mite be energy sucking demons...

My only concern is the battery drain issue.Have you installed the HID?

Man... This thing is getting me confused.Some say go for Halogen..and some say go for HID... and my budget is 500-700... any HID possible? Minimum charges for a decent HID?

[Puneet1]
