Welded bull bar is a must and do definitely get the stone guards as well as the clear lens guards with the lights.

Price quoted to you is pretty neat,but are they grey price?

No they are not grey imports for the 3000's but a price from a hella reseller in Delhi.

Slight problem with the 3003's there are no official stone guards available and the place I was going to get them from are unsure if the 3000 protectors will fit. They are going to get some 3000 model stone protectors and check to see if they fit on the 3003's. Otherwise I guess I might look at the 3000's or some PIAA.

Just bought a pair of Hella 3003's. As mentioned in my previous post there are no stone protectors for these but it will not take much to make some elasticated PVC material protectors with some plastic and padding to protect the lens. They used to use such PVC protectors on cibie spotlights.

IIRC vision plus are no longer produced by philips, now you have the x-treme power +80%s They cost about 900 per pair, worth every paisa

The first figure denotes high beam,the latter one low beam.Its never the other way round.

Thanks for the education, Champ.

Are they white in color ? And available in H1 ?

You may want to change the Night breakers with diamond vision. They are pretty much near by to HIDs.

Hi,
I have been able to

find pair of Vision Plus for my Car. Just awaiting to get them fixed and will update you on the performance.
As far as I know Philips were not able to market it properly and people also tend to fall for the Bling Blue lights.

Can you please share, how you are able to get 17+ kpl from your Turbo DLX. I have never been able to draw more than 14-15. One reason could be my driving style

Hi All,

I have put Philips Essential Vision 90/100w with Bosch relay to my Getz. I want to replace the existing fog lamp bulbs.
Do I have to fit another relay to accommodate the new ones or the one for headlights can be used for the same?
Another point is that in the Owner's Manual the wattage for the fog-lamp bulbs is 27. Is it so low? What is the wattage advisable with and without relay for the new bulbs
Kindly recommend new ones.
Thank You.

I got my swift washed at one of the outlets in ORR. That guy washed my engine compartment and screwed my HID relay. Its a chinese Bixenon HID kit i got from US last year. Can i get a spare relay here in bangalore or chennai ?

raneeshvijayan · 22nd April 2009, 23:30

I am thinking to but a set of HIDs for my Palio (H1 and H7). Which brand I should consider ? What is the best one, is it 6000K ? What is the price of a pair of good HIDs ?

Please guide me if there are old posts on same topic.

Thank You,

Raneesh

Dude I totally agree with you on this. I've got the exact same setup and the highbeams actually fall shorter. High beams are a joke in my car...

Whats the wattage on the diamond vision? will it melt the angel eyes?

I'm basically looking for an option that will make the high beams comparable to the HIDs without causing any damage to the setup. I'm currently on osram nightbreakers. I think they are 55w

comparable in what way? power or looks? if power then hids is the only way. for looks then diamond vision.

Let me put it this way, its pointless using my high beams because the low beam throw is just so much more. I want something comparable in terms of throw. Again, without damaging the setup

Hi everyone!
I finally got Vision Plus for my ride. After using Crystal Vision for almost an year plus I find them quite yellowish but I find the light to be

far better

than Crystal Vision. I got them for Rs. 600/- a pair from a shop in Sec 16 Noida. He is left with another pair if anybody wants one. You can contact me for the details.

regards
