I really dont know what you mean by slim ballast. Could you post a pic of both so I could ask and tell which I am talking about?

Let me know if this works with you. Then the only issue is getting them across to you from Mumbai.
Hey mantrig, Thank you for coming up with this, I have no problem doing it this way, But how long will you be there in Seattle? HID is in Devon, PA as of now So it takes some 3days for it to reach Seattle as they are on the opposite ends of united states. If you are staying in Seattle for a span of 1 or 2days, Then I don't think this will work well? What do you say?

Slim ballast I mean the size of the ballast, These are smaller, yet as good as the original fat ballasts. Here is a picture for your reference.

Ok, then I am talking about the fat one. Also isnt this the relay and the bulbs called ballasts? AFAIK

You are mistaken, these are ballasts, relays are not a part of hid, They are more like safety addons.

Hey I have a better option. Ship it to a friend of mine in Chicago - my colleague is staying with him till Saturday (getting the stuff couriered there should not be an issue).

Next week he is flying down, so your parcel will safely reach here peacefully. If shipped today itself, it should easily make it to Chicago by Saturday as he will be leaving from there on Sunday afternoon for Philly but there his hotel is not confirmed as off yet.

Check your PM for address and other details. Call me or text me when possible and we can close this today itself.

Regards,
Gaurav

NO!!!! NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!
The P220 is differentiated by the fairing and if you remove it, it will be a Pulsar not a P220, it will lose the only part that commands Respect.

Also wanted to ask, what is the main difference between a thin ballast and a thick one?

Lol, dude I want to remove my fairing to install hid and not to make my 220 look like a 180 or 200, If I wanted a 200 look,I would have taken the street fighter 220 na?

and coming to the differenc between slim and regualr ballast, As far as I knw, it's size,weight, and I dunno why they call it digital but reviews say that slim ballasts lasts longer that the regular ones. I chose slim ballasts because I want to hide them inside the fairing so that my dad doesn't see it, plus it's completely water proof. I have the regular ballast in my car and I guess even they are water proof. Not sure though, ask your dealer whether your ballast is water proof or not.
