@biker boy Amit
you are going to make things tough for me with my HID.
if i ever get caught in chandigarh,i would politely ask you to pay for the challan

almost 2 years of riding with HID,i have never been asked to pay any fine or what soever,I have been stopped twice on highways,only because light was hurting cops eyes :lol

I know its there,chandigarh might be having the highest number of vehicles in the country with HID's,every second 4 wheeler has HID here now.
Although the city is so well lighted that i dont need to use headlights 80% of the time i ride at night.

Dude it started all like this,

I was stoped at a naka in sector 26 for checking once, I saw a Pulsar installed with a HID standing next to me. Once the Pulsar guy left I asked the cops the isnt there a challan for the HID, for my surprise the cops were well aware what HID's are. They said there is no challan for the HID as its not a voliation under Moter Vehicle Act and I can install one on my bike too.

I went to Grand road (Mumbai) a couple of days back and spotted a HID kit with no brand name on it (green pack- just named H.I.D ) 6000k H4 socket

Bi-xenon was quoted Rs. 2200 and single beam was priced at Rs. 1800.
The ballast was marked with ISO and TUV certifications. Can I take the risk of buying it as no warranty was offered?

Same brand (bixenon) was quoted Rs. 3800 in Vashi.. Dont know what is the difference?

Hi,

Is it ok to just plug in the Nightbreaker bulb in the stock socket of the Unicorn? Can anyone tell me what modifications are needed if any? The stock bulb of UNicorn is very poor in terms of spread and brightness...

[lakhanironak]

Can we have some light thrown on the subject of installing HID on a bike with AC electricals, basically on how to go on with the wiring and conversion to DC, irrespective of the current rating the battery
