It has been 3 days since I have started using 100w bulbs without relay on my 2005 elantra. No issues.

Try purchasing philips extreme vision headlight bulbs, should cost about 500rs per bulb.

Alternatively, osram nightbreakers bulbs are also good.

For led, try Philips Ultinon.

Hey,
I will surely check all the halogen and led bulbs you have suggested. Thank you for advising me on this issue.

Hello
After doing some research here, I found out that CSP LED bulbs are somewhat fine with reflector headlights so I decided to give it a try in my Tiago XZA. I am attaching images clicked using my OnePlus 6 in auto mode, please tell me on how is the pattern and spread. Also, let me know how I can improve it.

High Beam

Low Beam

No light

I'm evaluating options for my Ecosport (Facelift). To be honest, I'm happy with the current H7 Low / H1 High setup on the new Ecosport but high-beam driving is rampant in our city and its just impossible to see the road ahead.

Keeping aside the discussions of who is blinding who, I was looking at the following options to upgrade only the high beam (H1) and if suggested also the low beam (H7):

Has anyone tried any of those brands, especially with Ecosport?

Considering its a CSP chip, many review point towards a more uniform and usable beam pattern. Should I take the plunge?

I was trying with the LED headlights in my Scorpio, and I had the following observations.

My Scorpio 2010 SLe comes with 60/55 H4 halogens bulbs. With halogens, if we switch on the headlights, within few seconds, the headlight glass outer part starts getting heated up. In one occasion, when I was trying to remove some particle on the glass surface, got a mild heat burn also on my skin. So its really getting heated up there in the stock lights itself.

However when I was doing some trials with LED lights, Beam Tech H4 lights sourced from USA, I found even after continuously running for few hours, the external glass surface of the headlights is not heated up and remain cool.

I just want to share this observation as another potential benefit from moving to LED lights, maybe others have also noted these before.

Cheers,

I’d recently upgrade my Rapid’s low beam projector and high beam to p6 LED H7 6000K. After the swap, in the bright mode the centre portion of the road is not lightened up. What might be the cause? Is it normal with LED?

Hello Shivam,

The light throw looks good on the low beams ...
Just a query - can you check and confirm that when you use your high beams do all the LED chips light up or does only the 4 chips at the back light up ? Tks in advance ...

Only the chips at back.

Did you pick up the Osram Nightbreaker H4 which costs 1.9k a piece? How has it been so far? What about the fog lamps? Which brand are you using?

I am planning to upgrade the high beam and the fog lamps in my 2011 XUV. I would really appreciate some inputs.

Osram Nightbreakers are great. They provide good visibility. Most of the times this is sufficient.

Fog lamps, I don't remember the brand right now.

I have used Osram Nightbreakers in all forms for many years.

Honestly the light improvement is only marginal - 10% at best. The Nightbreakers use a smaller higher temperature filament which gives you a brighter beam hot spot but the beam width reduces. The only real improvement you can get is with Hid bulbs. I am using HID 35W with 42w canbus drivers on both my Jeep Compass as well as My Skoda Laura and the difference in light is 2.5 x vs standard. The beam focus and spread are also perfect . I had also tried lots of LED options too but none of them have the correct beam spread and there is no improvement in light output.

So if you seriously need a good upgrade, get Hid 35w in 4300K CCT. HIDs work best in projectors though and I don't recommend them for reflector headlights.

I already have HID 35w in the projectors. The reflectors (high beam) is what I am looking to upgrade. The stock XUV bulbs are quite bad. The throw of the high beam is poor. What would you suggest to improve the high beam?

The lights are not aligned properly. I'm not sure if in the above photo you have switched on both the high beam and the low beam , but irrespective of that we can see a lot of shadows. One of the reasons would be that the bulbs are not aligned. The LED's should be in positioned to the 3'o Clock. The manual should throw more light on it.

The circled area should have the hot spot of your low beam.

The pic is with both the high and low beam in on position. But my low is projector whereas high is normal halogen but both led bulbs are same. The guys checked once gain but couldn’t correct the right alignment.
Projector- low beam

Projector with high

Light throw with only projector
