HID headlight

[at0m87]

Anyone fixed this on your bike? will it be too hot for our headlamp?

No mate HID runs cooler than Halogen ....................

Yeah I Heard Its Cooler But How Come My Friend's One Seems To Be Hotter? He Bought It From Msia. Maybe Its Not A Good Brand But Its Still HID So Usually If Not Good Brand Shud Be Whether Last Long Or Not, Brighter Or Not. Not Whether Too Hot Or Not Right? Pardon My Horrible Engrish. Hahaha.

[Fried Rice]

yeah i m thinking of installing too. its very bright..

[dragonforce]

it is supposed to run 'cooler' than halogen.. i low beam used to be HID, high beam halogen, i did a small test, i on my low beam for a while, then on halogen for a slightly shorter time. i touch my headlight cowling and realised the halogen side is much hotter.

[yctradingsg]

yup HID is cooler than conventional halogen

normally for super4, halogen is 55W. HID is 35W

[Demon]

normally for super4, halogen is 55W. HID is 35W

 

This statement gives me the impression that HID is only running cooler because it is rated at 35W.

 

In a nutshell, HID is more efficient in creating light than halogen.

 

Example, if the HID, and Halogen are both rated at 35W, HID will create more light but less heat than the Halogen.

it gave me that impression too. BUT what i am comparing is, same wattage for HID and halogen.

oh the what about the light intensity? like 6000 8000 and so on. cos this bike shop ask me to get something that is not so high as it will melt the housing of the headlamp.. anyone agree or disagree?

Is it illegal to be installing HIDs?

erm... most form of modification are illegal..

[kifli]

I want to try to install HID lights on my SP... heard from almost everyone that it could make my headlight housing melt. Is that even true? I thought it is far cooler than that of halogen?

[at0m87]

has anyone done this on REVO? is the headlamp housing the same for different specs?

[suf]

whenever i put HID light on my RS (low beam), it dies after a few days..

 

what's going on?

[Infernalwar]

Get HID's from the MO thread.

It is illegal to install HIDs into Halogen lamp casing, but if you install HIDs into Hid lamps casing ( Projector lamps ) it is legal...

It seem that your RS ( 2b right ?? ) cannot support the HID system..... also have the battery checked !

i dun encourage the installation of HID..tested once on my spark and the current flow is higher than expected melting my engine coil and rectifier..trust me u wont wanna know the cost of repairs compared to changing of the light. =)

[Ajit]

i had the same problem like ur rs..and it got worst..better have it changed or repaired. fast!

Would a fuse save u from such a disaster?

that's only if the stock bike comes with projector lamps right. i think so far only newer c2 sportsbikes have factory fitted projector lamps.

You should have tried our HID 12v 15watt system instead of the regular 35watt industry standard system.

[Ajit]

interesting..but guaranteed?..and any diff frm the normal hid?.. the brightness or anything like that?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

15W only? Got a pic of the brightness?

 

Installation does require ballast, conversion kit, etc on non HID-standard bikes, right?

whats the diff limbatt?

Could be overated. That's what I was told. I do agree 'cos mine is hot too, so I normally use it at night when I need it the most
