    If i am not mistaken, it does require relay to help the battery remain proper?

    Cheerz!!

        relay does not help battery in anyway instead it save stock wiring and stock switches from going kaput. relay itself is a switch.
        Fz do not require one the stock switches and wiring would take that much load

              as long as the product is good and would not do any damage to the existing setup, this one time cost is worth it..

              but one thing, on the buld it is written as HS1, what is this thing..?
              would this bulb be available in this..? or all are the same..?

                      Thanks. Some say its good and some say its just like the stock one. So, this adds to my confusion

                          Will coil rewinding help resolve my problem?.
                          Any possible solutions to my problem?.
                          Plz help me.
                          Thanks in advance.
                          hey i used to have a dio (2007 ) one

                          i used to run on hid and a air horn along with few led's
                          later changed from hid to projector setup

                          initially even my battery got sucked up totally
                          but after i did some changes it ran fine even after 2-3hrs long highway rides and even city riding

                          my changes were,

                          A pulsar 220's 9aH battery with altering the stock battery case
                          and my mechanic changed the coil which has more recharging capacity


                          and i dont recommend u to add another battery to the bike
                          better try to consult another mechanic who is good at such stuff

                          cheers
