Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

Hi Vishal,
Thanks a lot. I'll check out. Also can you have a lok at this in which DPDT switch has been added. The logic I think is same but can you / anybody tell me the difference?
Also can you post some photos of the wiring so that I'll try do it myself rather going to a mechanic.

Both are same, except the DPDT switch will be the convenient one as you have to switch on this only to perform hazard function. Whereas on the first suggestion, you need to switch on both turn switch as well as the other switch.

I would suggest you to take the middle pin wire as the hot wire instead of the battery looped to turn switch. As the battery is routed through the blinker relay to the middle pin. If u loop the batt + and the middle pin wire it will not blink as the battery is supplying the power constantly So blinker relay wont work here.

Hi Sajit,

Thanks a lot. Do we get DPDT switch in the market or they are called something else?
Will try to post the snaps of the wires so that you guys can help me with the connections...

Go to any electronic spare shop and ask for SPDT switch, its common thing.

Are, you can do the wire tracing by opening the LH switch gear assy and check for the turn switch 3 wires colours. Tap these three from somewhere near the HL assy so that no direct water seepage to the tappings. Rest u know

^^ he want DPDT and not SPDT.

Need help

Hi guys,

Myself Abhijit here from Bangalore. I am sorry if I am breaking any forum rules by posting this query here.

I just got a new Yamaha Fazer. I am all satisfied with my bike except the headlights, Yamaha actually forgot (ignored) one of the important point . As I travel mostly at night, 50 KM up and down daily, I am having great difficulties with the illumination of my current headlights. I am literally blind on the streets, its like riding with a small torchlight on

So I want to improve my headlights, may be with HID, Projector Headlamps etc etc. Don't have much idea about these.

So guys, please suggest me for the following points:

1) Should I go for HID? If yes, which one? Cost? I want better vision with both headlights, Hi & Low.

2) Should I go for Projector Headlamps? If yes, which one? Cost?

3) Should I stick to Halogen? If yes, which one is best for me? Cost?

4) Any good shop where I can get all the required items and do the modifications correctly? With address and phone number if possible.

5) I welcome any other suggestions or tips from you guys.

I hope you guys can save me. Thanks in advance. xBhp rocks.

PS: I forgot to mention, I do not want any fancy headlights on my bike. I just want to get the best possible vision with my headlights so that I can ride securely at night.

not to its full potential,say it will up to its 50 percent potential cause of less amp to push it,so the end result is low light even then oem 35/35 light.

Flasher for LED Indicators - video + circuit

Hi All,

This is the video of the circuit i built using the below circuit. It worked for me. You can change the value of capacitor C1 or resistor R2 to get the exact flashing timing. R2 can be preset or pot of 100K.

Thanks Princesirohi.

Thats just an LED put in as an indicator, not necessary though.

Hahahaha tiffin box - thats a small "dibba" not as big as tiffin box.
