Xenons for the Octavia anyone??

[karthik247]

i have a skoda 1.9tdi rider model.....i'm looking for gettin a few xenons fixed....i heard that the skoda originals cost abt 40000 so any local ones i can get for cheaper?? xenons look-alike will also do

I'm not sure about Xenon kits being available in Kerala or India,for that matter.I have seen a few ads about these kits in the U.K and Sri Lanka though.Cost-wise it might be better to buy the OE kit than to import them.Fellow T-BHPians may be better informed........
Xenon look-alike halogens can be had for Rs.200+,depending on the brand and the type.It would be safer to go in for the 'clear white' type as you could get pulled over for anything 'bluer'.But then,you could probably get away by claiming that they're OE xenons on your Octavia,right?The Kerala Police would never be the wiser of that!

gas filled xenons are aruond that much. look a like ones are there good ones come for around 1000 rs.

the so called xenon bulbs cost anything between 400rs to 1000 rs for a good one but the xenon kit imported good quality will cost u anything between 20k to 40k

[gamerno1]

what the *&^%?? 20k-40k? i got my whites for 350 bucks

Im using a 7000k intensity Xenon Headlight conversion kit with high beam and low beam in my skoda 1.9tdi, its in pure white and is three times stronger than regular halogens. The light is even better than the ones on the L&K. if u want pics ill post them for you on monday. the kit is costing 29k, PM me of u want one.

Arush ,

pics would definitely be appreciated !

normallycrazy: luckily for u im in my workshop today so here some shots of what the lights look like headon... ill give u nightview shots of it.. well, at night! hehe. cheerios.

NOTE: xenon kits are manufactured either in taiwan or korea. Taiwanese kits are about 25% cheaper but not that reliable. Korean kits are much much better.

hey auto temme do u also get xenon fog lamps because recently i saw very high powered on an accord v6 . it has both xenon fog lamps and headlights and were very powerful ...

[autopsyche]

bhp yeah it is possible, every bulb has a different specification for instance lancer uses H7, skoda uses H4, camry uses 9005 etc etc.. so theres a huge vareity of xenon bulbs available and the cost depends on the kind of setup you want, they come with a massive wiring kit consisting of ballast resistors and modules. So yeah, fog lights with xenon bulbs are there.

talking of lights ...can anybody suggest me about how to improve the oe lights of my esteem type 2?

[autopsyche]

amitava 90/100watt bulbs with a good relay kit, if u already dont have one? thats the only decent upgrade i think there was another thread where this was discussed sometime back.
