Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

[aryan rajvanshi]

Pls refer posts # 2381 & 2388 for a detailed note.

Ask your mech to route the HID power to be routed through the ign switch with a relay, so that it will be on only if the ign switch is on. Power the relay from the ign wire and the contacts to be powered from the battery with higher guage wire if its not there.[/QUOTE]

Actually its a very nice suggestion so first of all thanks a lot.Also from your post i got my answer.....actually what happened yesterday is when i am 2 kms away from my home, by mistake i switched ON the yellow light in addition to the HID and in just 2mins time it again started irritating me.Everything gets normal as you also mentioned it ,when i gave some time to my battery to charge again without turning ON the HID.Yes i surely ask for the ign switch with a relay--

It cover up my one big problem-

If i have to become a pillion i don't need to explain the saddle to not to self start the bike when the HID is on....turning on the self when the HID is ON is also harmful but not that much.

And yes i will try to keep it in my habit to turn ON the HID only when i reaches 3000 rpm.

Could we see some pics of your setup
have u made any changes to front fairing
do the hids fit along with the old headlight bulbs ?
i personally was looking at such kind of setup using hids only in dire need till then the stock setup. so if you could shed some more info on this it would be great

Pics are there in my mobile but you might find it funny but actually i don't know how to attach them.....all of the pics i attached till now took me a lot of hit and trails and also lot of time....i will figure it out some time later.Let me explain you in this way only.....no my HID is the only bulb that i have in my bike's fairing but that HID contains two point or i can say that the small yellow bulb(that bulb is also more powerful than my stock bulb) is embedded with the HID bulb only.No i haven't make any changes to my fairing....i don't know how but unicorn actually has exactly that much space in its fairing to hold that rectangular kind of box(pardon me, i don't know what its called...).Now its like this- HID is connected to a red colour wire to that rectangular box(in my bike's fairing) and that box is connected directly to the battery via beneath the tank.And yes i taped that ugly looking red colour wire so it will not be seen from outside.

Drifter dude chuck the Uni fairing and the headlight and slap on a complete 220 headlight. You can get it at the scrap yard for 800 something. the 220 headlight is the best it can get.
Add HIDs in those projectors, rewind + ape RR and you'll have all the illumination you'll need

Hi guys,

I have an Avenger 200 and as you know it has AC+DC wiring.. Will this method work on my bike too?? If there's anything specific i need to do differently for it??

first of all please dont type in bold....

now to your query....

Yamaha FZ-S is a full DC bike... there are branded HIDs also available in the market from Philips and Osram... but they are way too expensive costing around 12k for a pair...

Yesterday, I installed a Philips Premium H4 60/55W halogen bulb that I had bought a couple of months ago on my FZ 16. Cost me Rs 80 only. I was actually searching for a Philips BV or an Osram NB, but I ended buying the regular H4, as I could not find either of them. I had to break the two small brackets on the base to make it fit into the socket.
I did a two hour ride (approx 70 kms) in the night non-stop, with the head light on. H4 definitely lights the road better than the stock HS1 35/35W, because of the higher output. And my bike now commands respect from on coming traffic .
The light beam is hotter than the stock. So, I checked the socket and surrounding area for signs of damage from the heat. So far, no issues.
My search for Philips BV or Osram NB is still on.

So other than the branded ones which HIDs are a better option & whats their life & how much they may cost
