        hey Dazzler, I am assuming you to be from Dombivli so I can suggest you to visit a shop named "46" near Ayre Road. He sells HID Kits and also does installation of it. Regarding Octavia are Projectors with HID which are street legal. And HID with stock reflector are not legal. You can try for HID with projector.

          Does 55W create battery problem? Is it a power sucker?
          I was also adviced by fellow biker to change the pilot lamp to LED since I have installed a higher Watts bulb.
          Lets wait and watch!

          Will write my review about it after some days.
          No, Changing the stock 35W bulb with 55W won't affect your battery. I am also using Phillips 12V 55/60W without any issues. changing the pilot lamp with LED will definitely save the power. Also try for LED tail lamp.

          • Hello there.
            I have a unicorn for which i wanna go in for better illumination. Which would be a better choice amongst, 1. Full dc with 55w halogen bulb or 2. Installing a HID kit probably 35w one. An early response would very much appreciated. Anyways thanks.

              • Guys.. Noob here.
                I tried going through the thread, but 2125 posts are a little too much. Pardon me.
                So, my doubts -
                How much would a basic projector (with halo) cost..?
                Is it okay to use the stock fz bulbs inside a projector..?
                Will it require any rewiring or anything to light up the angel eye ring..?

                Gurus, help out this poor chap..

                  Hey mate, The following are answers for your queries :

                  How much would a basic projector (with halo) cost..?
                  Projector usually start from 2K and can go upto 6K or more if you are brand conscious

                  Is it okay to use the stock fz bulbs inside a projector..?
                  you cannot use stock bulb with projector because the size of stock bulb is greater as compared to HID bulb and projectors requires a bulb with high intensity so that the throw of light is better


                  Will it require any rewiring or anything to light up the angel eye ring..?
                  You don't have to do any rewinding for lighting up angel eye because it works on 12V supply. The Ballast lights the angel eye ring (neon tube)

                      Angel Eyes are just for show, they don't actually light up the road. If you want to change your bulb to something that lights better, go for either higher wattage halogens or an HID setup. Angel eyes can also be installed to light up when you switch on the parking lamps.
                      D'oh!

                        I think full DC with 55W would be a good option. You can go for Osram Night Breaker 12V 55/60W Bulb for better vision at night as compared to stock one. HID without projector would be illegal on road. So you can go with HID with projector. Finally, HID option would be a bit costly and replacement for stock bulb would be economic.

                              • hey guys... random question... i'm done mounting the projectors into the R15 headlight assembly.

                                would it be OK for me to (temporarily) use my stock lighting on the projectors i'm working on?

                                just till i can finish the re-coiling n HID installation.
