Re: Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc
Hello akshat,
i am impressed with the intensity of the light, I too own a pulsar 180 ug4 and hate the stock light. I am from jaipur, and here in one of the shops saw the fog lamps, the setup was squarish with 8 LED's and the price he quoted me was 2000 for the pair. 1st "is the setup working fine? Reliability and all?
2nd:" is Cree a brand or these lights are called Cree, cause the ones I saw didn't had Cree written anywhere"
3rd: "what price should i pay? Cause you paid 1500 for the 6 led ones and the ones here are with 8 led's
4th" how is the intensity?"
5th "which combination should i use? 2 spot or 2 fogs or both like you. What is the difference between spot and fog
Sorry for the long post but please I am confused, thanks in advance
p.s. I tried to pm you all this but your messages are full

Hey All,
After months and months of research,eliminating options and stuff I rectified what bothered me lot.
I had complaints with the illumination system of my 2009 Bajaj Pulsar 180,
Catering to my issue,initially I experimented with a 55/60W Philips Diamond Vision with a lot of apprehension as the recommended setting was 35W.Luckily went well with the bike it handled the mod with ease and to my surprise the illum got better.
But still in dingy,poor lit areas I still craved for a bit more presence.
I got in touch with a bro of mine who had twin AES Bi-Xen setup on his motorcycle,the output of those bad boys was immense...
and it would have served my purpose if there wasn't that hitch in my mind ,I was hesitant with this option fearing manhandling the electrics and baffling modifications(I may be wrong here) hence I rolled back this option.
When I was in Delhi lately I saw these Cree light bars,now I asked myself about considering this option...Why not ??
This was an easy fix and might actually surprise me, so bought 2 sets of Fog/Spot Cree Lamps.
[ATTACH]201333[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH]201334[/ATTACH]
The Big one is 18Watt 6Cree Fog Lamp
The small one is 10Watt Cree Spot Lamp
The construction of these is hecka rigid,All aluminium (or something)
Mounting accessories are provided and the setup is quite flexible.
[ATTACH]201335[/ATTACH]
The electrics and the procedure is simple as E=Mc2
All four lamps are hardwired with a fuse and 2 15Amp toggle switches mounted on the Leg Guards

NOW FINALLY THE REVEAL.

[ATTACH]201338[/ATTACH]
All the 4 pods are switched on in the above pics.
ALL FOUR
[ATTACH]201339[/ATTACH]
FOGS
[ATTACH]201340[/ATTACH]
SPOTS
[ATTACH]201341[/ATTACH]
(The iso has been toned down,the output is blinding)
[ATTACH]201342[/ATTACH]
After installation I realized that the fogs might be blinding the oncoming fellows,So got another toggle switch with allows me to use the Spots/Fogs alternatively.
In city I generally use the Spots except when someone annoys me :P (jk)
[ATTACH]201343[/ATTACH]
Cost:1500 for the 6cree pods+1100 For the Spot pods+250 Switch,fuse,labour,Welding
Verdict:Overall I am more than happy with this setup ,its like a portable Wankhede
I serves me beautifully with a peace of mind
----consecutive posts auto-merged-----
Forgot to add few words,
Before installling this setup,I switched the Stock indicators with LEDs as a compensation measure,
The battery is around 8 months old and coping fantastically even with the 55/60 plonked and running.
