Hello Behemoth, thanks for sharing the links.:)

I'm in a hunt for H7 HID xenon bulbs to replace the current bulbs on my Rapid which have gone dim.(typical of xenon bulbs i assume). Unfortunately the local accessories stores are flooded with LEDs and no one keeps stock of H7 HID xenons bulbs.

I was asked to buy online and bring them for fitting.

The links you shared have the entire Kit(Osram) and not just bulbs. There’s one option of aes H7 xenon hid bulb, but I've never heard of this brand before. Do you know any other online source where i can order just the bulbs?
P.s. i was recommended to buy 4.3k H7 HID xenon bulbs instead of 5.5k by a local guy.

Contact for Blaze India exists on Team BHP fortum. I once spoke to them enquired about warm white HiDs, they do have this GS AES 43K HIDs in stock.

Aes bulbs are quite good and you can go for them.
Like suggested by another member, you can get bulbs from Blaze India too.
Don't buy the bulbs from Amazon though as you get very bad quality bulbs on Amazon.

Dear experts, I need some guidance to improve the lighting of my 2013 TVS Jupiter, specially at low accelerator inputs. Currently I am using a 12V 45/40 W HS1 Halogen bulb. I am planning to change the Headlight supply from the current one to directly from the battery. There are multiple YouTube videos for the same. Would installing a LED Bulb be beneficial in increasing the light output and lower the load on the battery as it would be directly connected (the battery is 12 V 5 AH). Also kindly suggest suitable bulbs as there are a plethora of bulbs when searched on Google.

Dear Experts, I have a pair of 25W/12V 6000K OSRAM LED lights which i intended to use in the Fog lights for 2023 Harrier. Is it advisable to use the same LED's in the High beam reflector setup which has halogens currently?

I have been pretty dissatisfied with the stock Himalayan headlights. I even upgraded to Philips Xtreme vision headlamps a couple of years ago, but it hardly improved the output as opposed to stock.

Last month I upgraded my headlamp to Philips Ultinon Essential LED headlights from Amazon (Amazon Link), and it really impressed me. I have a friend who has a Yamaha FZ250 with stock LED bulbs and he complains about the abysmal quality of those so I was a bit skeptical it would work. But the improvement is literally night and day.

Hi, how did these fare in the long term? Were there any heating issues, as these are not actively cooled?

These are difficult to find now, but they have a nice beam pattern.

Harrier/Safari uses H16 in fogs (H16 is same as H8/9/11 but different wattage in halogens). If your LED is of same spec and mimicks halogen's shape/size and filament distance, go ahead and use without any worry.

Most LED does not heat up as much as halogen does, you are safe unless you use sub-standard LED (Osram isn't sub-standard).

I purchased the Osram Ledriving HL premium 50w H4 4200k LEDs for the WagonR.

Thanks to this thread, the installation took less than 10 mins for me. I did not tie down the ballast as there is ample space in the engine bay and they were not hitting anything.

The light output is substantially improved over the halogens, and the cutoff seems good. Not as sharp as the halogens, but at least to me it doesn't seem to be causing glare. I have attached a picture of the reflection from a white wall, any suggestions on how to improve it are welcome.

The high beam is a bit of a let down, as there is a substantial dark spot right in front of the car. If it starts raining heavily anytime soon, I will be able to test the rain visibility.

Thank you. For now i have only changed the fog lights to LED's and have retained the stock low and high beams. Have driven in the highways and rains, setup is working fine for me.

One of the Harrier owner groups is suggesting AUZOOM brand for LED lights upgrade for a XZA+. I haven't heard of this brand, nor have I come across any recent user experiences on this one. Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Aozoom is a Chinese brand with decent quality but it is higher priced than other options. Also the wattage they claim is not real - it is inflated. For example they claim 75w/bulb but that is nor achievable with the small heatsink that they provide. I would recommend that you stick with proven options like Osram (which is a German brand).

I am planning to try these out. The only reason I am not fond of LEDs much is because of the 6000K colour temperature. It fatigues my eyes during long night drives. This looks more pleasant than the 5000K LEDs. Will it be possible to post a picture of the high beams?

Here you go, as you can see, it is clearly demarcated, but there is a shadow in front of the car.
