The Headlight thread: Brighter, Stronger...!

[hitanshu]

The P180 DTSiv2 has a shitty stock 35/35W headlight. I plan to get coils rewound with 15/18 gauge for supporting a 100/90W halogen.

Suggestions/comments/experiences?

If some one can invite Hydroxide to join this forum (is he already a member?) he would be best guy to answer this.

wind the coil with wires of higher guage.

If pulsar use fiero regulator, I use shogun's regulator(modified)

put on 90/100 or 100/135 halogens. Hella 90/100, or phillips blue vision 55/60W

Get your wiring , especially the ground checked thoroughly.

If you want to go for dc, like zma..you need not bother abt the regulator part coz the battery would then direcly supply power to the halogen.

I remember pulsar has 7 coils - 1 dedicated to cdi (do not wind this) 3 for lighting and 3 for charging battery. I changed this to just 2 charging the battery and 4 supplying power to halogen thru regulator. coz i find myself travelling during the night most of the time. In all this if the grounding is not done properly or if the wires are not taped neatly the light keep fusing.

be ready to replace the reflector every few months, might be the glass too!!!

if still going for it, do throw some relays thrown in and replace all relevant stock wiring with some heavier multi-strand wire!

my reflector lasts for 6 month when using 90/100. and with 100/135 the reflector will start to melt right away after prolonged use like 8-10 hrs.
but 135 watt is damn powerful and commands respect on highways especially with tippers.

Will do as the real jinga baay said. because ...
Cost of reflector: couple of hundred rupees
Cost of glass: another couple of hundred rupees

Sitting on the ground hit by a stupid car who ignored your piddly 35W headlight: Priceless!

I'm *still* going for it - thank you

okay. go ahead. gud luck.

but did u paid attention to those relay and wire thing?
u paid attention to the *faaltu* things and left the *kaam ki baat*..!

and yes, do replace your signature

Ladakh, 2-17th Sep 06. Chalna hai? PM me - am looking for chillax wingmen!

coz this date will come only in next millenium! till then, might be Ladakh wont be there at all!!!! cant say the same abt u!

Avenger coilplate =60/55W

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Arpan, Salil and I were exploring this possibility, since Avenger has a 60/55w headlight it would be a bit safer to try and incorporate that into pulsar. Any idea how different is Avengers circuitry from Pulsars?

First make sure your motorcycles wiring etc is working properly, only then get this done.
