Good man
Thank you yet again for giving such a detailed insight. The long pending pain point of most users may now be down. 👌
Yes absolutely.. and that too without blinding the incoming traffic. Which is why I don't like switching on the aux lights in city.
@@RajkaGarage
Your video are knowledgeable and different. Amazing.
One question... Will it fit the new CB350? Please answer.
What is the price of headlight??
I am already using this headlight in my Honda Highness CB350 motorcycle.
Good Luck to use this new headlight in your motorcycle.
Thanks sir..😊
Any heating issue?
मैं हाईनेस खरीद रहा हूं राज जी, इसकी हैडलाइट की समस्या के बारे में सभी ने बोला लेकिन सॉल्यूशन आपने दिया है........thanx......
Thanks for the detailed review. Just to note that even addition of this new headlight will be considered as modification.
Absolutely right.. it's just that we can do this thanks to the wisdom of our concerned authorities.. who calls the bike is Honda ki Bullet 😅
All your installations are so neat and clean. Hats off!
Thats awesome Raj Bhai. Recently bought this for my CB as well. Would be installing it soon. Just like you even I had a pair of AUX lights installed. Now I am in a confusion whether to remove the AUX completely after the projector installed or to keep both. Saying this because, there is very little to no light right in front of the bike with the new headlight. At least in video footage thats what I could figure out.
So yes got to check that after installing the headlight.
Well made detailed video by you. Keep up the amazing work. Keep growing.
Thanks bro..😊
I would suggest keep the aux lights aswell.. I am going to do the same.
Yes, there is a conical shape in the front of the bike mainly coz of the Projector lens, but in real world conditions it doesn't impact the riding experience of the dome is adjusted properly.
Aux may be required in mountain areas to get better visibility of cliffs..😅
Even I got it after you had posted the stock vs Vaishnu touring headlight. It’s really awesome. Value for money.
Thank you sir. I’m enjoying the evening ride
It is actually a car fog lamp, vaishnu is selling for 8k one headlight. Less than this price u get 2 piece of same fog lamp which can be attached on guard. Else with extra dome jugaad can also be done.
True but this is well made and designed solution. Quality is also good
Some of your best videos, where your effort is brilliantly translated to convey knowledge over a much much needed topic which would reach masses!
The Sequence of video as well as places where you've covered footage are spot-on. The illumination example is brilliant and provides the best comparison! 2 points,
1. Would this system make use of existing pass/high beam stock switch?
2. The looks atleast to my eyes is huge letdown. Reg legality, the points which you mentioned are absolutely inline however, cops tend to catch hold if they spot odd looking bike. Vaishnos should consider bringing LED to bottom, which would make this resemble RE Thunderbird headlight, with maybe some mirror illumination coating to top remaining portion! Not much, but for occasional riders and many others, that will make it sell in huge volumes
Great product coverage Bhai🙌
Happy Riding ✌️
Thanks a lot bro..
1).Regarding the high beam/pass light, yes it is operated by the existing switch and with the new bright pass light, makes an evident presence to the traffic ahead to give way.
2). I agree that looks could have been better, but as they say..looks are subjective...it's proved to be true as few of my friends found is nice looking and few not so good.. 😅.. for me..It's not too bad..and mainly served my requirement of good focused beam on highways.
Now I can confidently ride in neighbouring states by covering my aux lights whenever needed.
And yes, like i always say.. if it's not your day, you may get pulled over even looking at your fancy looking helmet 😁
@Raj Gaikwad dada, that line of provident fund loan for mad dog was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mad dog ke wiring wala video dekha tha ki nahi..usme hi bola tha ye punch line 😁
Making a great bike even greater 🔥🔥
Cheers mate 🤘
sir, whatever you said about aux light rules are correct. but this headlight also comes under modification and can get fine.
Great informative video, sir. Keep up the good work!
Good video Raj. Infact I contacted Vaishnu today as I had watched another video for the same headlight for RE. There was a coupon code for 5% discount. I used that code but wasn't valid for my honda 350. When I told the Vaishnu guy he said nothing for honda. And then he sent me your video to make up my mind. You should ask them for coupon code for the honda guys. Not fair for us. Thanks.
Thanks mate!
Regarding the discount, as per my knowledge, if you are buying in group they can offer discount.. so if you know like minded CB owners, you folks can order in groups and avil the discount..
@Raj ka Garage Dear Raj I got the vaishnu installed by honda but it was showing half a light. Spoke to vaishnu they said to adjust the light. Did some adjustment but still the beam throw is only upto 15 to 20 metres and hardly much difference in the high beam. I can only see a short distance still. Thanks
Our CB dome is a fixed one and cannot be adjusted. To get a good throw and make dome adjustable, you will need to remove the front number plate stay which also holds the HL dome. Create a slot to the rear 10mm bolt which holds the HL by simply cutting it from the bottom side. Any fabricator can do this for you for 50rs.
Drop me a Hi on rajkagarage@gmail.com i will send you the photo of the same.
Many thanks, Raj ji!
Ye light use kar sakte he kya ? Battery pe kuch load ya problem nhi hoga na ? Warranty pe kuch issue hoga kya ?
Aur ye headlight dalega toh fog light dalne ka zarurat nhi he kya ???
Yes surely use kar sakte hai.. battery pe koi load nahi hai..ye light Original light se Kam power khata hai..but projector hai isiliye brightness Original se jyada hai..
Aur ye direct socket to socket plug and play hai.. original wiring ko koi cutting nahi karna padta hai..so no problem with warranty.
Is headlight mein 3 colour options hai.. so yellow light fog lights ka Kam karta hai..
@@RajkaGaragethank you sir👍
Cheers mate!
Amazing job. How about we will raise the concern through you tube and Honda big wing by our Honda bike community. So that they will resolve the issue . At night I face a lot of problems on the highway if I have aux light in my bike . I just missed the accident recently.
I and many have brought this to the notice of the company but i don't such changes are ever accomodated due to certain technical limitations.
Akela hi kaafi hai ye headlight very nice📈
Correct.. absolutely great brightness..
Thanks Raj
I have recently become a proud CB owners
Is there a group for Pune riders?
Would love to meet, connect and learn from everyone’s experience
I thought it looked ugly but it's great, I can anyday sacrifice the aesthetic slightly, or I can switch it for long rides vs City rides
Yes, I prefered the practical use over aesthetics, however I am being told by friends who see me approaching that it looks cool.. so meets both requirement😁
@@RajkaGarage what is the price?
Price is 7900 and comes with all the wiring harnesses, relays and switch..
@@RajkaGarage not bad I thought 10-12k
Yeah and meet both daily ride use and highway too.. eliminates aux lights usage to a great extent atleast on known highways..
There is not a "poor OE headlight" on this bike. It has an adjustment sprocket located on the left side of the headlamp. Just grab a phillips head scredriver and turn counter clockwise to set a higher beam or clockwise to lower it👍

FYI.. 14 Dec 2020
Thanks my friend. I assume it might be a year make detail. Mine is a 2024 and the headlamp works beyond great. Do you happen to have a recommendation to buy the grill protector for this headlight?
@@roymorun7637 really they didnt change the healight specs till now.
Can i use n160 projector lamp insteadof this ?
Hi Raj Sir Thanks a lot for ur Efforts... Vaishnu headlight mein CB350 Honda ki Plug n Play headlights nahi hai kya.. matlab no wiring n switch ka jhanjhad... Please advise
Raj bhai, Can you pls upload a video about air seats? Or is it already in your channel? I'm having pain on my buttocks on long rides and planing to buy a air seat..
Sorry bro..but it's not there on my channel and due to my height 5.6 i never thought of trying it as i will struggle further to reach ground 😅. But I do have the some plan for immediate future as i am going on a Rajasthan ride in April .. will try to buy one and put a review before that..
Although I have heard it does help to a good extent.
Sir, to install aux lights is it possible to take the ignition pulse from backlight for actuating the relay??
Sir kindly tell me which set of looking mirror are u using?
Buddy these are Suzuki Burgman/Intruder mirrors which are available in Suzuki service center.
Very detailed review 👍
Thanks buddy..
@rajkagarage is there any heating issue?
Thank you for the awesome video. Could you please tell what is the lumens of this light, as there are strict policy in some states like Kerala about how bright it can be. Could you also tell if its affecting the bikes battery capacity, Will it drain out the battery and how does the battery drain compare with the stock lights? Thank you
Thanks bro 😊..
Regarding Lumens, LEDs generally produce around 90/110 lumens per watt so assuming an overall of around 2400 lumens of total output. This is well under the OE lights, but as this is a projector lens concept, the brightness is high and is a concentrated beam compared to OE LED which is a reflective COB concept and hence has low illumination on road.
Regarding power consumption, this light consumes 2.0 Amps of power which is again lesser than OE HL which consumes around 2.4 Amps so even lesser load on the battery. One more advantage is, it comes with a on/off switch for the HL, depending on our preference we can switch off the light and eliminate even the 2 Amps of load during day time or when engine is switched off and ignition is still On for hazard lights.
Hope this helps 😊
Bro ithu fit cheytho?
What's OE HL?
And can you please share the feedback after a long term usage?
THE SPECS ARE UNDER LEGAL ADVICE, BUT ITS CONSIDERED AS MODIICATION. FINE IS SURE SPECIALLY IN KERALA.
CB350 headlight is a real pain!! But I want to know if I install it in my 3 month old CB350 then is there any chances of making the Warranty void??!
Isn't installing an aftermarket headlight subjected to modification?
Sir for usb charging in highness 350, do you have any suggestion about C to C type cable which works fine with the bike??
Very informative video 👌👌
Hi bro, can we get headlight ring seperately. I got dent
Yes buddy.. your Bigwing service center can order it separately..
Can I fix this light for Honda cb300r? If possible pls send buying link for that light
Check with Vaishnu. I think due to lesser aperture, this might not directly fit
Please inform in detail about the light set ups and its availability.Does it hamper warranty.
Thank you for detailed review. This confirm that this works fine against highbeam on highway. Is it not? Shall I go for it?
Hi, warranty is void if we install this headlight ?
When are you changing rims? And upload videos about that!! Waiting!!
Yeah that rim is bored sitting alone in my store room..
I am Waiting for the tyre replacement..maybe before monsoon for sure..😅
@@RajkaGarage yesterday i changed my rim and tyre to RS. I don't know what tyre pressure to keep! PLEASE Tell me if you know
If Solo, 29 in both front and rear.. If with Pillion, 29Fr. 33Rr.
@@RajkaGarage ok thank you ❤️
Cheers mate..
Btw..which tyre did you put on the 17"
How’s ur headlights now?
Yhe, CB300R mai lag sakti hai?
Awsome video once again. Thanx a lot baba. Also, please help me on one doubt; how many kilometres should highness tyres last ?
Thanks Vikas bhau.. 😊
Under ideal conditions, these MRF tyres will last around 20-22k kms. These are hard compound tyres and although you will be able to see some visible tread on the tyres, there will be minimal physical grip to handle the power, weight and braking of the bike.. my advice at any cost don't use more than 24-25k kms kms.
Ideal conditions are, maintaining appropriate pressure. 29Fr 33rr when cold..not keeping the bike unused for long durations exposed to variations weather.
@@RajkaGarage Thanx baba. I always feel so lucky to have such a knowledgeable person guiding us amateurs throughout frm head to heels about highness. Someday I will meet u for sure and thank u in person. 🙌🏼
Yerry good video
Can we switch off DRL?
With the OE lights, no we cannot..
Yes, with this light you can control the switching on/off with the switch that comes with it and the same switch is used to change colours within the headlight.
My question is there a rule stating that no off switch should be there for headlights, is it possible to have that kind of setup? What I mean is, when the motorcycle is powered on, this headlight too should be on as in stock settings. Is there a way out?
Raj bhai, doesn't fitting this void the company warranty ? Any chance that RTO guys will cause trouble in case they notice non stock headlight ?
yes amazing
Then changing OEM headlight is also modification right? Same as changing color.
Grate info brother.. Were to get the product can you share any link 🔗
Thanks buddy..
Link below to the product.
vaishnu.com/headlight-for-honda-hness-cb-350-rs/
Is it possible to install the Himalayan head light assembly on cb ? Asking just because I do not want to come to the notice of cops (atleast easily) :) Is there any alternatives to make it a little less visibly modified? A halogen set up works fine for me.
Hi.i want some details on the extra lights put on either side of the headlight.IS IT fixed by a clamp on the front forks.
If YES from where to get that.pls reply thanks
Sir, does the vaishnu wire harness work with maddog lights socket??
No buddy.. the one that came with this projector HL is tailor made for this headlight.
I had seen other wiring harnesses from Vaishnu on their website and Amazon. Maybe that may fit aux lights.
can Fog lights be installed for Highway purpose in addition to this Viashnu headlight? for eg. Maddog Alpha ?
I have installed it.
How is it? Would you recommend it to use instead of adding aux light with stock headlights?
Waiting for veshra brake pad review 😉
Ayega ayega..jadli kuch alag level pe uspe bhi ayega

I am restarting biking after 23 years..my initial years of 20 yrs were on bike everday doing around 70-100 kms per day...now restarting after a gap of 23 years ..need to install a aux light for my leh ride as the team insists..else i dont ride in the night..whats your suggestion sir between Scout and Scoutx
Any impact on the battery?
It consumes less power than the OE HL. Power consumption is 2Amps..so no impact on the battery.
@@RajkaGarage Thanks sir..
sir abhi koi ride ka plan jara batana
hi
is it possible to fit this light in jawa 42
I don't think it will buddy, the dome diameter on Jawa is smaller than Honda. Moreover I think Jawa stock HL is anyways good for both highway and city roads due to the halogen bulb.
Does this affect on warranty ?
It will not buddy. It's a direct plug and play product. There is no tampering/cutting required for the original wiring. It's comes as socket to socket plug and play.
@@RajkaGarage thanks for information
I have a question that my CB's clutch setting is at the end and there is no more space to adjust the freeplay, i showed it to the centre where my clutch plates were absolutely brand new but they didn't fix it.. Said it's alright.. What could be the possible reason for this... I personally feel it could be the clutch lifter rod may be should i change it?
I think soon I will be getting into the same zone, where the clutch is still good but no space left for any further adjustments. Will figure out soon and keep you posted through some videos.
Thankyou really need to see that open RH cover and the clutch assembly adjustments in CB... You Would be a first in the segment no video is available on UA-cam about that.
Regards
@@taveelkhan4742 the topics Raj Bhai covers, you won't find anywhere else
Hey Raj bhai....r there any All Terrain Tyres for highness
There are options from Ralco available for the front and rear size in the low end range..if you go at the higher range then you have Metzeler available.
I would suggest don't use dual purpose tyres in front..the bike tends to move in angles due to the block pattern and gives uneasiness in cornering from the front side.
I have seen somebody posted a video saying this headlight drains the battery faster so is it a better option to go for aux light
Is this projector light legal?
I was thinking of updating scout x to alpha.
What should i do now confused
If you already have scout x like me.. then adding this HL to Scout X makes sense as Alpha will be too bright(& expensive) to use on daily basis. Adding this one will solve your daily requirement and with additional Scout X Highway requirements. Though I felt this to be sufficient for both highway and city.
Is it legal in city? 🤔🤔🤔
Dome stay ki kahany bilkul nahi samajh aayi, Raj bhai. I have no idea what you did 😂
Woh mere se itna bada popat ho gaya ki.. ki fitting se pehle dikhane mein bhi sharam aa rahi thi..so direct fit karke explain Kiya😅
👍🏻
Any idea on the quality and longevity of this projector headlight?
The company claims its 40k-50k hours of life which is really good

Can u share which fly screen are you using?
OE Flyscreen which Bigwing sells
This is OE Honda fly screen available at the service center. I will suggest to wait and see the cost of the long windshield which is coming soon from Honda. This costs 1940/- . I guess that will cost around 2600/- but is a bit taller than the current one.
Bhai,
What about carbon racing screens? I heard good about them.
I saw this on Instagram, using the new lights, does it affect the battery life ?
Yes a little bit coz i have installed aux lights
How is the health of the battery after these modifications?
No impact on the battery. This light consumes 2 amps of power which is less than the OE lights consumption of 2.4amps..
@@RajkaGarage Thank you for the information
Inform in detail about the lights and its availability.
Pls suggest a good lengthy clutch cable for Hness using handle bar raiser...
You can try the RE Himalayan clutch which is a longer. Recently one of our CB mates has done this to his H'ness.

Sir does this light affect other incoming eyes
Ofcourse no he discusses this in his video. Pls watch fully
Looking of stock is awesome and this looks actually pathetic... Instead of this auxiliary is best
Look wise agree, Atleast Vaishvas manufacturers could've repositioned it at bottom of the doom like that of RE Thunderbird
That was also my initial thought when I had it on their website. But in actual doesn't look bad at all.. Looks are anyways subjective.
Btw..Looks of the OE are undoubtedly too good..
Bhai indicator Kara solution Koi hai kya? Single side blink ke liye
Very poor light...ola scooter led light is best in the market
Led light in every bikes are worst
ya lets fuck up the eyes of driver coming from opposite direction... maybe lets also cause an accident
The best part about this as told by oncoming rider..it doesn't blind the incoming traffic.. had checked that part as well... But didn't add that clip as the video was getting too long..
Nopes. No fuckup will be there since this module comes with a cutoff shield and clear lens means absoluetly no light above the cutoff during low beams.
TO BE HONEST, A moped's 25w light on high beam also creates more or less same glare for oncomming drivers. Same goes for a uber wagonr with 3 passengers in rear and hedlight leveler dial set on 1.
The propper sollution - Germany has complete controll on this glare thing. Manufacturers are required to make headlights with headlights washers and auto leveler installed in all cars no matter what. BMW or Volvo or Octavia or Ford Enderavour, all comes with auto level headlight means no matter how high the speed breakers comes or any pothole on the way, headlight will keep horizon maintaed all the time, using gyro sensons.
True that.. I had asked Milind to pass me from front couple of times and he didn't get any glare on his eyes.. have recorded all this but didn't add it to the video as had difficult time managing the video length.. maybe a follow up video on this will help.
@@RajkaGarageI'm stunned by all the efforts you had summed up on this❤️
Uttrakhand police will tell. You where to place aux light😂 and black cap on aux light in daytime
