After reading through this thread, I'm convnced that Philips Rallye 100/90 is the best bet for an upgrade.
But I want to try out the white light and have narrowed down to the Narva 100/90. I spoke to a dealer (junction) in Jayanagar this morning, got a quote of Rs.1300 for the complete kit - bulbs and wiring, which i though is a bit expensive.
Based on TSK's advice, i decided to try out different ones (Rallye, Vision +, Osram etc.) in the evening and I shall post the pictures of the same.
One query though - when I enquired about the Fogs, the salesguy suggested Narva 85W, but I didnt enquire about the cost. Was told that it does not require any additional wiring - but I'm not sure about this - ADVISE please!!, Also, whether this will make any difference to the lighting/looks?  |
Dhar, good decision to try and then buy.
As for 85W fogs, you are looking at 170W and that means around 15-16A extra current from alternator.
With Fogs/Headlights/AC/Stereo on, the charging current to the batter will not be adequate and long use could leave you stranded. So just get good driving lights, no need to get those extra fogs.
As for the Philips Ralleye, I got duplicate ones from JC road. Philips duplicates are dime a dozen, so its better to go towards Bosch/Osram/Halonix etc., which are not favorite with duplicators.
