Comprehensive guide to LED Headlight upgrades

ssathiyanarayan · 17th April 2025, 22:07

Dear TeamBHP members,

I've a Tata Altroz XZ+ DCA 2023 edition. I was thinking to upgrade the head lights and other lights. But i prefer not to eye catching upgrades and instead do away with subtle changes. To be precise I'm looking mostly to stick to stock wattages and do only led bulb swaps.

The current configurations of Altroz are:
1) High and Low beam - 12V, 55W, H7 - Halogen projectors
2) Front fog lamps - 12V, 35W, H8 - Halogen
3) Rear Fog lamps - 12 V 21W - P21 - Halogens

Can i have some suggestions for LED to swap the bulbs alone in the below preferrance:
1) High and Low beams - 4300 Kelvin LED bulbs
2) Front fogs - 2600 Kelvin LED bulbs
3) Rear fog lamps - Any LED
As an addon if it possible to swap the indicator bulbs also to LED.

Thanks to all in advance for your suggestions.

Dear team bhp members,

I am looking to upgrade the high beam of my ecosport S. The low beam is a projector HID with a whitish output.

My high beam is H1 halogen bulb of 55 Watt. I am confused whether I should go for a 6000 K LED or 4300 K LED. While I believe the 4300 K color temperature LED should provide better light output in foggy or rainy situations, but it might not give a cohesive look with a white HID and yellowish LED ? Can someone comment if the warm white color temperature of 4300 K LED would give a whitish or more yellowish output? For instance this is how the HID looks.

Also do all 4300 K color temperature LED have similar color output? Or would some be more whitish or yellowish?

Get IPH M612 projectors which will house H8 bulbs and then look up Ledbeam led and Autobahn led websites and get 55w 4300k bulbs for the fogs and get the 4300k H4 for the headlights. That way you stay with the oem wattage and you wont require relays and also avoid reflector damage.

Is it ok to use Osram 6000K 80watt H19 Led bulbs as replacement for stock 55/60Watt H19 Halogens without any additional relay/wiring?
