@navnish-recently i got my 2007 unicorn Dc-ed,with the help of prof lightinstien A.K.A nano,i planning to go for H.I.Ds.Since the stock is 7amps,and the 3.5 yr ol battery is due for a replacement.Should i stick to the stock 7amps or should i upgrade to 9 amps?

@all-is the nighbreaker available in h7 type,all i could find are h4 types

I would suggest get the hid's from navnish as they are good ones,you mite get cheap chinese ones if you are thinking of buying in the range of 2000rs and below,stay clear of them.

thanks for quick reply. what would be approximate cost. i dont want the chinese ones. will my battery support it?

@NANO:I wish to fit HID kit on my RTR180.Should it be a direct fit or would I have to go for coil rewinding process first???And where in Mumbai can I get good quality HID's at the range of Rs.3500/-???

2000rs,i guess you can confirm from navnish.About the battery,how many amps is it,you mite have to get the stator coil rewound.

yes nightbreaker is available in h7

you can get hids in karol bagh , new delhi . chinese hids are not bad btw , you will get chinese hids only upto Rs 3-4k . branded ones like philips ,hella , other oem type are very very expensive .

first make your rtr full DC type else battery will get drained very soon with hid . you will have to change the rr unit to a full dc type and boost your charging rate .

hi friends,

mine is hero honda super splendor 2006 self start model and has the12V - 35/35W Multi Reflector, Halogen Bulb - AC Type, now is there any other bulb which I can buy and just replace my normal bulb so that the light will be more brighter , without any additional mods, i just want a bulb drawing some amount of energy 35/35 w but output should be greater lumens , any idea???????

I have a query - how powerful is the P220's 3 phase alternator?

Also, is the ZMA/ZMR's alternator 3 phase too? And output power?

I need these data to pick the best 3 phase RR unit out there!

What's cooking abhi ???
what are you upto ??
as far as I know Zma's stator is 3 phase and it has a 3 phase rr too ...
and I've also heard that it can give upto 235w, though i have no idea about p220..

1 more thing which i wanted to know, isn't it true that a single phase coil will provide much amount of ampere as well as voltage as compared to a 3 phase one ??
three phase seems to be much more distributed, i somehow feel that it won't give much amps as well as voltage ( i can be wrong, its just what i feel) but arguably all the coils which are known to be the best in the business and known to give 235w are 3 phase itself.....

@NANO:I wish to fit HID kit on my RTR180.Should it be a direct fit or would I have to go for coil rewinding process first???And where in Mumbai can I get good quality HID's at the range of Rs.3500/-???

if you fit it directly, you'll face battery discharging issues, you WILL have to rewind your coil, change your RR unit to APE RR, and then do the needful of HID installation.
you can get HIDs cheaper than 3500/- here, but they all will be 6000k and above which IMO isn't that good....
besides, i myself am wanting to buy an RTR's stator and plonk it into my bike to install a TCI unit to get off the revv limiter as i am running stock rtr180's bore and piston set, and running a fiero with a higher compression than a stock rtr 180

so once i buy the coil, I'll rewind it myself to connect my current ape rr and stuff...

try south bombay to find hid's you'll get a good deal but you won't get 4300k, or own very own NAVNISH is there for everyone's need...
and YES he has 4300k and i bought both of my bulbs from him itself...

get your coil rewinded, install ape rr, try to source hid or order it from navnish, and you are all set....

PS: Hid in stock reflector isn't a very good thing to do...

if you wish to keep the same 35w, then nothing will satisfy you in brightness apart from HID, as you say you don't wish to mod anything, then HID isn't possible, even to plonk a 55w you need to rewind the AC phase of your coil.
the best solution is to change your bulb to phillips one (35w H4 type, germany) if the current one is Halonix, it does make a slight difference...

Step 2: Need to make a neat custom shroud for the projector

Awesome stuff xionite.
Post some more pics and have you thought how your going to align the beam ?

PICTURE HOSTED ON TINYPIC

the projectors are going to be mounted inside the stock R15 projectors (most likely)
i'm planning on mountig the headlight onto the bike and make adjustments till
i'm satisfied with the angle/spread of light.

Good! Waiting for further updates.

thanks. lotsa work to go tho.

ps - loved the way you put up your id on that newspaper!

Meanest look I have ever come across, wide-eyed, superb

the stock R15 inner reflector doesn't allow me to place the projectors
more towards the center. would have preffered it that way... still trying to figure out a workaround.

[NANOtechnology]

@ xionite

from where did you source the projectors ??
they appear too whitish and seems used...
are they bixenon ???
and yes, even i love the way you put your name almost everywhere, infact you have put your name twice on that newspaper, one big and another smaller with the newspaper text, thats nice innovation....
