ok .. any idea what other double filament bulb fits in the H7 socket ?

None will fit, thats why its H7.

Basically H4 socket type has 3 pins, which makes up for 2 filaments. H7 has only 2 pins, which make up for only 1 filament.

hmmn..then why is that i saw a older gen pulsar with LEDs running just fine today?? Bike hadnt been converted to DC cause i could see the headlamp flickering at idle as usual.

Whole bike need not be converted to DC. Using a simple diode rectifier (Abhi tell the proper word ) the LED's can be used.

oh ok.. thanks chetan..

Varies from model to model. I saw a philips for 120rs and Osram for 200rs. It was plain philips and osram. Nothing like Nightbreaker or crystal vision bla bla.
Its 55W.

55/60 means low on 55w and high on 60w. So single filament wont ve dual w

Car bulbs are the same for bikes if you are using higher watt like 55/60 and higher. Only thing is, you gotta check the right type of bulb which sits in your bike.

Edit : For Unicorn it is H4 type. You can go with Osram Nightbreaker or some other models in Philips ( i ve never used Philips)

There are normal H7 bulbs available for 100-120 rs. ONB comes for around 800rs/bulb. Philips crystal vision comes for around 500-600rs/bulb.

Quick Word

Hey guys,

Need a good 60/55W bulb for my zma keeping the following pointer in mind:-

1. I go a lot of night riding, so there should not be any drainage issues.
2. No damage to reflectors(in the long life) when i drive for 4-5 hrs in night frequently.

I have the Osram Nightbreaker and Philips Crystal vision in mind. Which one is better? If possible, the prices too please

PS- Need a quickie reply as i need to give my bike for servicing tomorrow!

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Night Breakers are not on the same page as Crystal Vision.

Night Breakers compete with Philips Xtreme Power and

Philips Crystal Vision compete with Osram Cool Blue.

U mean they are better?

Philips Crystal Vision compete with Osram Cool Blue.

Then which ones shud i go for?

Think u got the answer!

Nopes

So, if i were to rate them in order of their illumination, what wud that be?
Also, the most imp factor, the cost! I need something in the range of 500 bucks!

Ok, The explanation for this is that

Night Breakers are equivalent to Philips Xtreme Power and not Philips crystal vision being slightly under powered compared to Night Breakers. Night breakers have the best light output available and they cost u somewhere around 1600 a pair and if ur lucky u can get hold of a single bulb blister pack which will cost u somewhere around 800 bucks.
