Re: Need to install cyclops h4 led 3800 lumens in Apache RTR 180 abs new

Guys, can i know someone's experience of using the bright LED lamps in Rainy conditions? how much does it really help? Also, would tinting the white light to Yellow be of any use in Rain?

How would a T10 LED pilot lamp work?

Buddy, i dont know about RTR180 ABS, from your description, it looks like DC..,
but for the LED's, DC is not essential They would run, but do not run fine. I used 30 rupees T10 1W SMD LED's on my GS150r and they worked for some time(maybe for 2 weeks).. i could notice them flickering becos of the AC.
On the other hand i used another T10 3W LED's which lasted only for 2 days. The problem being, the resistor couldn't handle the current, burnt and later failed the LED.
so, using the LED headlight directly on AC might light up the LED..but could go kaput really soon.(haven't tried this! )

Go for Philips Extremevision, best of the lot. Am using on my CBR, VERSYS & Ecosport and thoroughly happy.

Hi, how does the Phillips extreme vision perform on the CBR? Does it give any advantage over the stock bulb when blinded by incoming traffic?

How to get dismantle RE Lucas headlight?

Hi guys, I am restoring my '75 bullet. I got original Lucas headlamp from olx. But the steel reflector is rusted and need to be replaced. It is attached to the glass. Does anyone know how to get this apart without damaging England made glass, so that I can either electroplate the existing dome or change to a new one.
I checked with the local electroplating shop, they said the glass definitely need to be removed before plating.

You can do that by using heat gun. We usually separate the glass form the reflector while installing HID projector headlights. Check this video out -> https://youtu.be/W6UvaSYdeDo. Be sure to seal it tight by using same sealant or use mseal to make it Waterproof.

thanks, heat gun will work for modern fiber/pastic domes. What I have here is an Iron dome. I have not tried heating it, may be I should give a try. However, I'm concerned expanded metal will break the glass.

The difference is very marginal, it will reduce the hit of high beams from oncoming traffic but not eliminate. I used this bulb and after 15 days of usage I switched back to the stock bulb, the throw is very whitish which does not help in rainy season at all.

If I'm not wrong, as your headlight output is not dependent on throttle, it's just plug and play. Remove the old bulb and install this, that's it.

I didn't think about that, if that's iron dome, I'm not sure how that works.

I've used the same headlamps. The output is good but white light easily gets diffracted when there is light from oncoming vehicles making it useless. Please check my earlier posts buddy and decide based on that.

How to align the aim of projector high beam vertically ??

Hi,
Recently I have installed projector headlights to my new bajaj v, but the problem is the aim of white high beam light is too high.
I have asked the mechanic to adjust the light but he was not able to do that and told me may be showroom mechanic can do that without removing the whole headlight.
So,please suggest me how to do the alignment vertically because I am not able to use the high beam as because it may blind drivers from opposite side.

If your bike has ability to adjust the beam, then you can bring it down a bit. If not, there is no way to adjust the beam height with out opening the headlight assembly. Adjustment of projectors should be done before sealing the headlight back.
