Deepak, AFAIK the night breaker gives out normal yellow light only...!!! Only HID gives out white light OR a projector headlamp..!

White bulbs are of no use....they dont have a good spread of light and also are not that powerful at night..!

Hey guys I got a HID (single, low beam is halogen) kit installed 2 days back. Chinese make. however its 6000K which is just plain white, Now can i change the HID bulb to a 4300K one ? is it possible ? and how much would the bulb cost ? (in bangalore that is)

No idea about the change. But what about picture of the HID?

AFAIK low beam is yellowish and high beam is white (or yellowish white).
Its not clear from the daytime pics though, try posting night time pics.
Lights having rating in the range of 3000K to 4300K are the most ideal bulbs and give maximum lights.

It's actually not white. It's got a slight hint of blue. You wont know till you compare it to a 4300K bulb which is pure white with a very slight hint of yellow (similiar to daylight and better for optimum visibility at night)

Its no big deal changing only the bulb to 4300K. Its just like changing a normal bulb. Only problem would be finding one in the first place. Most people just want the bling and show that comes with blue colored HIDs ...thats why 4300K are hard to find.

FYI, all the factory fitted HID's on any vehicle are 4300K.

The light look bright enough. BTW, did you change the coil windings of your bike? I am planning to use the Nightbreaker in my Honda Dio. Do I have to make any changes to the electricals?

Is that nightbreaker or a HID?

That seems to be NightBreaker..!! Pretty nice spread and also light seems to be bright..!! How much did it cost you..?

[gurumurthy88]

@L.P: Is that the ONB ? wattage ? cost ?

My unicorn has a HS1 type socket. ( this from the Phillips site here. Part No. 12636. First on the list.)

If i'm going for a 35w ONB what should be my socket type ? Are H4 and HS1 the same ?

Arrey yar, main bhi NB daala hu, aisa kuch nahin hain. It is not this white and nowhere this bright. Are you sure this is NB...looks a lot like HID to me. Also, for P220 owners, ONB is not much of an upgrade from its current lighting, in my opinion. But caravikiran seems to think differently.

His is Discover....and that light can be achieved(i think) by installing Avenger's coil..!! I may be wrong in guessing but i feel its a NB..!!

this discover is equipped with 6000k HID on 9amp battery with double charger and without avenger coil upgrade.this is not ONB anyway.
