Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

[Puneet1]

First of all...
Hello Everyone. My name is Krunal && I am from Vadodara, Gujarat....

So back to topic...

I am getting a HH Karizma && just want to talk XBHP forums for helping me make the decision. and i want to add HID lights but dont seem to understand where to start lol. I saw a HID kit for 4500 RS and it has both the white/bluish bulb and the yellow bulb.. Can anyone shed somelight on this?? I would like more of ablue color then white. Kind of like the R15 in the above post but a little LESS blue... Also, If anyone can help me understand all this.. thnx lol.

kunal the HIDs with 2 bulbs have either hi beam halogen and lo hid or vice versa .they also take time to switch between the beams .

buy a bi-xenon hid where the bulb moves to switch beams . it should cost around 1800-2200 for a kit with 1 bulb ,1 ballast and wiring .6000 k bulb will give bluish light but remember the white ones give max visibility .

Well !! As I have a Bi-Xenon I have to think how can I fit HID bulb

Btw got hold of
RX100 housing - 60rs
Steel ring - 90rs
Canter P43 base - 85rs.

Yet to buy
Stays to hold the unit, springs to hold reflector in the ring, nuts and bolts, wires.

Rest...
Thinking how to fit twin headlight side by side and fix indicator too!!

Thanks for the reply, will be bugging you more

are you for real?man,i was in love with twin headlightsetup side by side. do it man,its easy and effective.just follow the triumph speed triple as a model.ur setup can easily pull 2 hids,just imagine the amount of brute light on the road,it will be great,....also u can use one hid one halo setup,as u can easyly run the halo within city limits.
good u found the 43 base canter sealbeam,which make? can u post somwe pics here please,.........do the mod and fell free to bug me.and u hv a pm

The ring, the housing and the reflectors all are from Lumax
I will be going with 1 Halo and 1 HID. To avoid cops.

As of now I haven't rewinded the coil so I will stick to 55/60w halogen on AC and HID on DC. Once I rewind, I will switch to 90/100w on AC or 3000K HID

Pictures of Sealbeam, will put up tomoro.

Reg - Triumph Speed, I have the same idea. But still 1 thing is bothering me. The indicators.!! Where to fix that ?

Good bro,put up the pics.
I knew u didnt rewind the coils,just tappedout the ac out of light wires and fed through ape rr,am i correct?
Also i want to know how you will manage the ac raw power from a rewinded coil?direct feed to 100\90 bulb or u will put any rectifier?it will be flickering na?
Also the bi xenon u r using wht color is tat?wht make?price?
Also i love the color of normal halogen,just love it,is a hid 3000k will be like a good old halogen in term of color or will it be tooo much yellow like those yellow spots we get in the market? I find 6000k too much whitish and a hint of bluish,as these are useless in rain,also attract a lot of attention,is a 3000k will be like a bright a*s halo,if it is then well heaven.also r u usin the bi xenon in uni stock reflecter? How is the glare? How is the focussing?

Sorry to fire with a lot of questions.....................

Bro, I am not sure where you get them and even if you get its pretty expensive. Making on your own is pretty simple. Just check out few videos in youtube

Good bro,put up the pics.
Sure
I knew u didnt rewind the coils,just tappedout the ac out of light wires and fed through ape rr,am i correct?
NO, I am using stock RR unit with full wave and its working awesome (touchwood)

Also i want to know how you will manage the ac raw power from a rewinded coil?direct feed to 100\90 bulb or u will put any rectifier?it will be flickering na?
Stock setup means you might have got the answer for this also.

Also the bi xenon u r using wht color is tat?wht make?price?
Chinese make (so brand doesn't matter), 6000K, 2200rs with 1 year warranty.

Also i love the color of normal halogen,just love it,is a hid 3000k will be like a good old halogen in term of color or will it be tooo much yellow like those yellow spots we get in the market?
Yes a little more yellow than Halogen. But if you can get a 4300K then it would be a better option.

I find 6000k too much whitish and a hint of bluish
YES its bluish
as these are useless in rain
If roads are good then they are not useless as it can't show the dark pitch road but the surround area, glow signs are neatly visible which is not the case in halo.. So in simple for a NH it is pretty much useful even if it rains..

,also attract a lot of attention,
YES it does

is a 3000k will be like a bright a*s halo,if it is then well heaven.also r u usin the bi xenon in uni stock reflecter? How is the glare? How is the focussing?
Yes am using Bi-Xenon on stock reflector without glare shield of HID .
Focusing and visibility is awesome

I can say Unicorn's reflectors are the best. 1 of my friend put the same HID on his ZMA and he was crying that light doesn't fall on road ZMA doesn't have adjustment with reflector that is the pain

Regarding glare - either people stare at you or close their eyes.

While riding on highways, forget oncoming vehicle.. Vehicle in front of me will fold their mirrors and give me place

Anytime yar..

Even that day, I noticed the same. And its very easy to notice you in traffic - u will be the guy with portable stadium lights!

But Rahul's High beam (in general HID on P220's Hi beam) is killer for oncoming vehicles. Its like laser into eyes

ok bro, thanx a bunch. i will try it out.

ok bro, thanx a bunch. i will try it out.

yes the 6000K is irritating to the others.. The front rider goes blind..

I am using 4300K(day light) on my high beam..

pretty good for night riding on highways..

OMG 3 pages in 2 days and lot of hot tips Phew... At last our Shree is back on tracks.

Shree, I cant agree with u for a 6K bulb in rains, in normal weather, its really a show time with that, but on rains its not worth, the bluish white light is easily absorbed on wet roads at least in my case, u will think that WTF, is it on? Oh yes, the fellow just in front of u will surely give u an easy way to save his eyes getting sored Lot of big cars'd given me this VIP access with just a flick of high beam They 'd really pissed off with this high intensity torch.

Now am on a 5K which the best among other CTs a clear balance between visibility and the most wanted impression. And u wont get noticed easily too. 3K is just like the street light sodium vapour lamp, I hate that colour but good for bad weather especially in rains.

Still not sure about the P43t and P45t? Only the bulb enty cavity diff, rest everything is ditto. This will give u an idea. Have a look



Drvmtm, dont remind Shree about the APE RR, he is very much scared of Delhi RR. Anyway its a lesson for everyone at the expense of Shree, even I didnt know about this. Poor fellow'd lost his ONB, Fuel guage and other console lights with this. Shree my hearty belate condolance on ur loss man.

[drvmtm]

delhi made ape rr is from the price point of view.. from performence........and finalyy when every thing blows up with your bikes dc system is running a 20+volts god knows what,dc or ac then.\

shree common man ,post the pics boss.

sajjit,mate your tips paid off, silicon is a lovely metiria;l to work with.
also the p 45 and 43 only the base is different so its baseless to talk about it.
