hi Ajo
Thanks for the write up after upgrade. I wish to install 100/90W Philips Rally in my matiz (clear head lamps). I already have a relay installed due to burning of the dipper switch - not too sure if he installed it properly. Rest everything is stock.

1. Do I need ceramic holders or would these upgraded lamps fit in the same stock holders and not melt them?

2. Any extra wiring required?

3. How much did you get the lamps for? And would the make of relay matter? I don't know what brand its (will check) but It costed me Rs 250 from Sec 48, Chandigarh car market.

4. How much improvement in the throw and intensity? I too am pissed off at the amount of assumption I need to bring while driving at night at highways with oncoming traffic blinding me completely. I need it purely for highway/hilly driving to avoid poth holes etc. as I already had two tyre bursts due to bending of rims.
