Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

Re: Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

You can't cut through light with more light unfortunately, with other vehicles high beams, misaligned headlights and one low beam on high and the other on low all over the place there's not much you can do, hid's and projectors will not help in this case. The biggest problem is the lack of courtesy and manners on the roads, little you can do against that.

But if your light is not brighter or equal than others they don't give you dipper.... so I want brighter light.... Is there any option for me?

^^ then you have 2 options HID in the reflector or a projector set up, some projectors are crap if you can get a morimoto mini h1 with a good bulb maybe cnlight and a hyluxtec ballast it shouldn't cost too much. There's also a few guys selling Hella projectors, not sure if they are original or slynese copies, so beware of this.

@pawan_2161
I can vouch fully for the MoriMoto mini H1. I have read far and wide and pixel peeped through tens of images if not hundreds over my obsession with good lighting. Of all projectors that have any name at all, there is nothing that I know of that offers the balance of price-performance of these. There is a guy here ( [MENTION=54758]VijayAlluru[/MENTION] ) who has a spare one, you may contact him.

It takes H4 bulbs but I believe it comes with adapters for H1 and H7.

Dont buy any raubbish projector and fit it into your bike because its a PROJECTOR. Creating a good projector is an art and science. One cant simply slap together half-assed reflectors and a lens and expect it to be good. Thats what most of these cheap projectors are IMO.

PS: The Morimoto mini H1 is designed for Left-Hand drives and therefore sprays light to the right, which the wrong side for India. You either want to open it up and fix it yourself with a coke tin shield or get something thats made for Right Hand countries. I dont know if the H1 comes in that variety.

The mini h1 is very much available with a RHD cut off shield and takes an H1 bulb, the idea is that you can see the road signs on the left, however most projectors are sold with a DOT (USA?) cutoff, which doesn't illuminate the signs on the left of the road as well as the European ECE cutoff, which has a higher step.

Do you know if these are sold through proper channels in India. Or is Ebay + international shipping my only choice ?

Hey can anyone temme if it's possible to upgrade the battery on my Duke 200? I've put a custom headlight which has a dual headlight structure

But the stock battery can't handle both the lights (55/60W) turning on at the same time, so I gotta use one for low beam and one for high beam....
So can I upgrade the battery to a mire powerful one? Does anyone have an idea which one would fit and what else would I need to look into?

Which bulbs are there currently in your headlight ?

Re: Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

Guys what would be the best option for 200NS as a experience,i mean projector light of which brand? Lots of people are praising morimoto. Some prefer philips xtreme vision cheap and best than projector. I'm confused.

[Naveen1985]

Anyone knows where I can gget the following two bulbs?
Philips CityVision H4

Both are specifically for bikes, even though a car version also exists

Worried about finding right HID Conversion kit for YZF R15 Ver. 2

Hello pals,
I am worried about finding correct HID conversion kit for my bike. My stock lamps doesn't seem to be of any help while driving on highways during night.
I have found one source named TRS ( The Retrofit Source ) based in America but the cost of the kit suitable for my bike goes upto INR.24k!! It would be my last option if I don't get a trusted and affordable option in Mumbai or Pune.
The one I've shortlisted from TRS contain:
A pair of:
- 3000K HID bulbs,
- Bi-Xenon Projectors
- Wire Harness
- Shrouds
- LED Rings
- Glue to assemble back the head lamp encasing
- 6" LED strips
As dollar rate is pretty high, cost for this package comes to around INR 24K.!!
Can any one guide me with a better solution or should I go forward with my listed option?
Best Regards,
~Rishi..
