| from what I read online, white lights indeed are yellow lights but with a blue tint. so I don't think the blubs are defective. he said he will install the cut-outs in a day or two but he hasn't told anything about the relay. I will visit him now and get the Blue Visions and cut-outs. I don't want to risk with high wattage bulbs and risk my warranty by installing a relay. what's your opinion about the Blue Visions? |

When you install 100W bulbs your current requirement is about 16A. Thats a 60% increase in the current, and it means you are pushing the stock electrical system to the limit. Therefore you install a relay with wiring so that the current is taken off the stock system to this bypass system which is designed for this load. To know about what is a relay, read this Relay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

| Hey friends, I need a reliable source near f'bad / south delhi to change the headlights on NHC VTEC. We got the car last year and I immediately upgraded the headlights to Philips Rallye 100/90 with relay. It was ok but the bulb fused within 5 months. Next I changed to Philips BlueVision 100/90. Again they lasted just a couple of months. Fed up with halogens, I tried the HID kit. BIG MISTAKE. Never try HIDs in reflectors. Although the intensity is very good but focus is horrible. Its good for low beam but in high beam I feel the depth of vision is better in halogens. Otherwise there is no problem with the HIDs. So now I want to change back to halogens. I want 100/90 wattage bulbs. 1. Please suggest what are good options in this wattage. I personally like Blue Visions but an open to try something different. 2. I don't want yellow or blue lights. White light is just perfect to my eyes. 3. Most importantly - let me know a reliable source to get a relay and the bulbs (with approx costs) so that it doesn't blow off too soon. Thanks a lot Naman |

| Senior - BHPian | Any bulb can be replaced on the car a slong as you get the correct specification and wiring. Check the specification of the stock fog lamp (h7, h8 etc) and then buy a 55 or 50watt crystal vision/blue vision. You would be lost in the rain/fog though :(

| BHPian | Hey gaurav I would strongly suggest not to go in for white fog lights as the intensity of light given out by these bulbs are very poor.The best alternatives for white lights are xenon's which are expensive but worth the price.

| My swift has white fog lamps? what colour should they be? I wouldn't have thought that intensity is the biggest deal for fog lamps, as they illuminate the road fairly close in front you, helping you to follow it and avoid obstacles. |
