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

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.

Hi Skanda,
Thanks for your reply.
From the beginning I was thinking of doing the modification of the headlights of my bajaj v and I was planing for classic round headlights, but then I let it undone.
I think this time I must do it..
Please suggest me whether it suit bajaj v or not.

Anybody who wants projectors , i would suggest that instead of fiddling with your stock get an aftermarket headlamp with a projector.

Not only the job will be cleaner, but you will also have a untouched stock lamp to fall back to incase the aftermarket lamp has unsatisfactory beam which the cheap chinese ones usually have.

Headlight modification

Hi everyone, since I have installed the projector headlights to my Bajaj V, I am not able to use the high beam for its high highest and also not to make blind other driver and riders.
So now I am thinking of fully modifying the headlights to classic round one and classic round shaped chrome speedometer+tacho+odo+ fuel.
Please suggest me..

Advice for Best Headlight for Night Riding on Apache RTR 160

Friends, first I want to tell you that I am a night rider. So I am in search of a bright light for my Apache RTR 160. I have 2 major requirements-
i.- Long coverage of road by light in high beam mode and
ii.- At the same time, well lighted area of the next few feet of my right and left hand side.

HERE ARE MY FEW QUERIES-
1. Which light is best- Halogen/Hid/Led/Something else?
2. What is the maximum watt, that my battery can easily handle?
3. What is its name/model?
4. What does it cost?
5. From where can i buy it?
6. To install it, do I need to use hot gun or it shall be fixed by opening the front part of the bike?( Basically I am worried after reading a thread that says that installing light will need a hot gun. May be my worry is baseless.)
7. Please tell me that is it illegal to use such lights?
NOTE- If something more is to be added, please add in the information.

Thanks in advance.

Can any one of my fellow bikers here suggest a good headlight bulb for CBR 250R that doesn't have dark spots when on high beam & gives a good illumination on high beam with long range. I m not interested in projector lamps. I'd prefer something like Philips Extreme or Osram night breaker but with a bigger wattage.

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

Is there any 35w philips crystal vision/diamond vision bulb available in the market or online? coz the bulbs which are available are all 55w bulbs. Also suggest better 35w bulbs for me as i need it for night highway riding. Currently using the stock halonix 35w bulb.

Might be ballast or bulb. Check for the terminals of the bulb. My HID bulbs had a bent at the terminals and there was a lose connection. Replacing the bulb sorted it out. If replace the ballast and check if that's the problem.
