Philips Bi Xenon H4

Hey guys, I am looking for a Philips Bi-Xenon HID kit - 35W and 4300k for my HH Hunk H4 socket i think. I am unable to find original kit in bangalore.
Anyone from bangalore knowing this can guide me. Also approximate price of the kit?

Try Reliance AutoZone. I saw (a month back) they had Philips HID and as per expectation from a branded store like Reliance they should be genuine. Although they sell only in pair so you would have to find a guy who is willing to take the other set.

Regards
Piyush

get your stator & sockets cleaned & check the wiring for possible faults. Apply petroleum jelly on sockets & terminals. Then clean the dome with a soft cloth & colin... Let us know the results, visibility should improve.

P.S. use multiquote to respond to more than 1 msg, do not post multiple times.

Thanks I will let you know about the results and also I will follow the multi quote option going forward.

@ ALL -

I have a 5 day old r15 v2.0 and i am really unhappy with the headlamps, money isn't really a concern so i don't mind going for projectors however the build quality of most seemed appallingand i don't know if they'd be able to handle good hard riding.

Should i just install HIDs? Will the tiny battery of the r15 be able to take that load?

The rear lamps are LEDs in the new r15 so i guess what i can change are the pilot lamps, if i wish to do this, what LEDs should i be using?

And of course could i also ask you guys to direct me to places where ican get good HIDs and installation done, maybe good projectors too

On Sat I took my bike to my regular mechanic. I told him that headlight vision is very poor and its hard to notice anything. Then he check the whole headlight dome and said the bulb he fitted last time was not good. He told me that he will alter and going to put a 3 pin bulb holder. He removed the older bulb holder with a 3 pin holder and put night vision bulb which gives milky white light. I asked him about Philips night vision bulb. He said it will cost me around Rs.500 and asked me to check the vision after the alteration. Now the visibility improved a bit. But I guess it can be done more better. Should I fit Philips night vision bulb?? The mechanic also told me that in HH bikes the output is less as compared to others. Please suggest me if there is any mechanic who is expert in lighting dept in Bangalore.

Ordering Hid kits From Hk

Hi guys,
I have been ordering quite a few things from dealextreme.com and all the purchases have been delivered to me.
I am planning to order a 4300k Hid kit.
Price is 45~60 us$ or 2500~3200 Including all shipping charges.
I have ordered many things costing well over 45$ and they have under valued in customs form so 99% you can get away without paying any customs.

As the cost is for pair, I need someone to buy the other ballast,bulbs,wiring (Hyderabadi preferred)

Also , can anyone advise whether to buy these kits or not ?

I would say stay away from DX for these items as 99.9% of the items listed there are cheap Chinese items which have no warranty at all. If anything coming as defective u cant return it and the max u'll get a promise from them that they will send a fresh replacement but it stay as a promise for years. I used to buy things from DX for years and most of the time, it will work for some time and then it goes off, but still am a fan of it as some of the gadgets we can't get it from any of the online stores here. I used to buy those kind of low value items just for fancy, belive me, if u r lucky u'll get a chance to get a ticket from customs too. I got 300/- for a purch of PIR LED light against a purchase value of less than 500/-

Its always better to get it from here as many of the kits will've a min of 6 months warranty, so that u can pay the money with peace of mind. Just my thought.

I am in search of a 4300k hid and not 6000k(Common).
Hid is like neodymium cop magnet in Hyderabad.
I want Hid for illumination and not for looks as well as I want to be 100% legal so Projector is also a must.
From where can i get Hid in Hyderabad or even online ?

As for now I can spend only 2500 on projector,
and I will get a cheap hid for around 2k for 6 months.
Then I will switch to a branded one.
What do you say ?

4300K is very common AFAIK, its the ideal CT, but people are going for the 6000K just for bling factor. At the manufacturers end the cost is same for any temp except for some non moving CTs like 8000K upwards. Its the dealer who escalates the prices as per the demand.

Anything out of the specs is illegal and they can fine u, no matter u've installed the HID on a projector or not. The vehicle is certified by the DOT as per the stock specs, if u alter anything its out of the way and u r eligible for a ticket.

To be honest, for 2.5K u wont get a decent one as the margin is huge here, so in reality, u r paying only 50% of it. For a decent projector pair will cost $75 =3675 (FOB) add another 40% =1470 approx as duties and shipping will come to 5145 will be the landed cost for a pair of HID projector. Add another 75-100% margin which is approx 10000/ for a pair. The supplier will have to provide atleast 6 months warranty. where the manufacturer will give a min of 1year warranty from the date of import and if any of the units found to be defective, the importer have to send the pics of the ballast which is known for defectives after cutting the wires from the ballast, and on subsequent purchases, the manufacturer will add the no of defective units as free along with the fresh purchases. This is a very long process and if the product is found to be not worth to import, the importer wont order it from that supplier hence the margin is escalated to this much.

So roughly it will be 5K for a decent quality unit. But there are projector units selling for MRP of 2.5K onwards here, so just imagine the quality of the unit.

I would say if u r going to buy a non branded (its a reality that its hard to find a trusted brand in economic range), have a touch & feel of the product and ask for a demo on a wall and assess the shadows , the spread have to be even all sides there should not be any black regions in the spread areas except the sides. Good quality lens will give crisp cut off line with an even beam spread with no shadows.

U can try D2S/D2C with proper socket adaptors like this.
