    yeah these angel eye's blow out far to often, my major concern is enhancing confidence and lighting up the road.. and not adding bling value to the bike !!
    There is oone in mulund east (Thakkar auto) and the other one is a guy called vikas in mulund west.
    Thakkar may charge you 250-300 and vikas may charge only 200 bucks.

        But i know that if you use a halogen 55/65 watt halogen bulb, you dont need a relay, however, the battery should be good enough.
        Voltage i guess should be above 13.2V
        BTW, why you asking about it? i mean are you facing any issue?
        if yes, please specify so we can find out the solutions quicker.

        Thanks buddy for your reply, No I'm not facing any issues with the current setup, however I come back home from work at late night so, I can't afford my bike's light going off in the middle of the road, that is the reason I wanted to install these spst relays..
        Thanks for your time though...

          Well to be very honest, no matter how good the quality of these things is, however, nothing is 100% failsafe, so God forbids, if the headlight goes poof, then u should have a plan B. For example, to be on a safer side, carry an emergency high luminance LED light or something similar if the night ride is long enough and without any streetlights.
          Generally, when i travel in mumbai itself, i dont carry the light, but if im going out of mumbai, i make sure i carry the emergency light (though the light belongs to a friend).
          And also if your commuting to and fro places like bhayendar or uran or panvel side etc, you should carry an emergency light

            i dont have the number for thakkar auto, as whenever i have some work, i directly go there, still i can get the number for you today.
            And the other guy vikas, is a super specialist in these projector things but for that i will have to tell him that your a very very good friend of mine so he does the work for you at a subsidised rate .
            and i have sent a pm with my number, let me know a day in advance before catching up, so i can wake up on time
            btw, where do you stay in mumbai.

                  well, im probably going to get it installed by vikas, but i was way too busy during these days, i used to get free during night at around 8pm, but he leaves at 8pm, so our timings never matched, lets see, if it happens over this week.

                    oh okay

                    Hey since i have installed my HID kit without a projector now, I'm able to use both upper as well as deeper
                    After I install the 220's projector, would I still be able to use both then.??
                    The bulb that I'm using as of now is an H6-3 (6000k) would that be compatible with the 200's projector.?

                      Most probably, i guess yes u will b able to use upper dipper both, but still will need to confirm with a mechanic, and i have no idea what bulb is 220 projector compatible, will find that out and let you know

                              i have a activa old model and want to upgrade the headlamp.
                              will it be fine if i put a 60/55w H4 bulb with a relay cut out.
                              My maximum night driving is about 1 hr
                              please help totally confused.
