Hi,

use direct wiring to the light bulb with relais switched in.

Still a lot of work, but worth the afford. :thumbup:

I think there's another post in this forum about wiring changes. Pls. use the search-button.

Bi-Xenon

Post by Coffee_Kid »

I have been thinking of going bi-xenon to increase light (I am at 100 watts high now) but none of the kits are single light only.

If someone is willing to split the cost, I will by a conversion kit that will include two bulbs and ballasts and I'll sell the other half.

They run about $300 complete on ebay, so figure half of that.

Any takers?

Remember guys, that 907ie 350W alternator cant handle too many wattage adding. I have twins, but have to have switch to take off another 55W bulp sometimes, cause alternator dont give enough power to keep batery up. I am electrician and i have checked hole system and that comes from low wattage alternator. Surely have to add 2 realys to both, low and high beams. :thumbup:

300 divided by 2 is 150, so its close, what i pay from those twinns. They coast 147 Euros to me. But have to say, that original CEW unit is from very deep!!! Koito is little better one, but only little.

Keep in mind that the xenon unit only uses 35 watts, whether in high beam mode or not; a dual xenon system would max out at 70 watts.

I think that one bulb may be plenty for a bike and perhaps be a little more visable.

Perhaps we could use "reflective vinyl" to improve our headlamps :laugh: :laugh: ( see other threads... )
