I am probably touching a non-related topic for this forum but since it says General Lounge I suppose it may be OK.
My company posted me to a different location within the city and hence having to travel farther these days. This includes long stretches of road without adequate streetlighting. My TVS Jupiter's headlight beam is well designed in terms of focus, spread and beam pattern but I feel I need brighter light. TVS Jupiter has a HS1 35/35W PX43t halogen bulb of Phoenix make and I hear a HS1 slot can take both HS1 and H4 bulbs.
I have been looking at a lot of aftermarket Projector HID kits and now I am seeing many LED replacement bulbs on ebay.
I am aware that Projector HID kits, if properly installed, offer lot better light but it drains out the battery faster. I think it's a whole lot of changing the vehicle's wiring and battery - it's probably an overkill for a commuter bike / scooter.
LED replacement kits on the other hand claim to be requiring much less wattage and of being direct plug-in replacements without the need for any wiring changes, not even requiring projectors since they claim to have the LED illumination points exactly at the same locations as the halogen bulb's high / low beam filaments. I don't want to blind oncoming traffic or be a cop magnet.
Anyone has any experience with these? Any suggestion in this regard will greatly help me.
Regards,
Uday
