Try a good 55/60W bulb from Philips or Osram ,The OEM bulbs of Alto,Zen Estilo,etc will cost you nearly 80rs and is a direct fit(H4 socket).Try it before spending much for HId's and stuffs.

If u alter anything other than stock then its illegal. If u put HID on projectors too, its illegal as its not approved by the DOT for that particular vehicle. Same applicable to aux lamps with halogens they can fine u.

HID on reflectors not only illegal but u r blinding others which will cause accidents, the colour temp doesn't've any role in this. CT plays for ur optimum visibililty factors not for the legal issues.

Its all depends on the discretion of the officer who stops u, if they stop for such activities, am sure that not even a single vehicle will be spared from this as putting a strip of LEDs are also falling into this. So don't try to convince them that its legal, its still Illegal.

Yeap..I had to explain it to him how solenoid works and all...then he let me go..also he was not in mood to fine me...

No mods or relay... its plug and play.. but just ensure that your bike battery can support it...
try Bosch H4 55/60W ... i am using it on my ZMR and its awsome... also the light is yellow so its good in rain and fog...

query about hid in cbz xtreme 2011

Hello guys,
I have a small query about the lighting in my cbz xtreme 2011 dual disks. Can i install a hid projector in my bike? the bike has a small 4 amp battery and the manual says the alternator is of 140 watts. will the charging rate be enough for the battery with the use of 35 w hid?
Thanks in advance.

Headlamps for R15

Hi Everyone,

I own a R15 and the headlamps are not up to the mark. I am planning to change the lamps only not to HID's as I don't wanna invest thousands on the lights only.

Please suggest me the best lamps for both low and high beams without any change to the electrical's.

I was planning to put Philips H4 55/60W on both the lamps. Can I go ahead with it?? Please suggest.

My 35 watts hid on my tvs flame is draining my brand new 9 amp amaron battery....... If i keep the hid on and run the bike for 15-20 mins, it drains the battery...... Plz help me plz. Wht should i do.....

BUT WILL THE 55/60 BULB GLOW AT ITS FULL POWER WITH STOCK WIRING N BATTERY

Yes,No problems.

N WILL IT AFFET MY HEADLIGHT REFLECTOR.I HAV HEARD PPL SAYING THT A HIGHER BULB THAN STOCK WILL MELT THE REFLECTOR OR MAKE IT BLACK.

A small blur like burn will happen,but nothing to worry on it.

get an ape RR (Rs. 1100) & get your stator rewinded (approx. Rs. 500), do a bit of wiring mod & you're done.

Thanks in advance.

140W is (lighting + charging + ignition) available at more than 6000RPM, you'll get only around 15W for charging battery at idling.
For running a HID without draining your battery, you need to produce around 40~50W at idling, not possible with your current setup.

Stock wiring can support only 35W, given a 55/60W, won't work to its full potential. There would hardly be any noticeable problem with the reflector.

Simply plonking in a 55/60W bulb won't help, stock stator won't supply enough power to a 55/60W bulb. You need to boost the power output to install a 55/60W to extract its full juice.

Karizma has enough juice to power a 55/60W bulb.No need of any other mods.
