HID lighting query re bulbs

whatcanthisbe · 4th September 2008, 20:57

So in my accent the fog lams are h27, i need HID's in the fogs and no where can i find the h27's what else will fit ... any accent owners with HID's in their fogs?

HELP

The headlamps are h4 so i am getting the Bi xenon setup for those

The h27 is another code for the '880' bulbs. I They are low watt(27w) bulbs. Hence the name.

These will not be commonly available here in India but you can fit another spec in your fog lamp if its absolutely crucial.

The good news is if your getting an HiLo HID for your Headlamps then you dont need anything more

I dont think HID in the high beam is allowed here in Delhi!
Gurus Please reconfirm

Thanks man i know they arent allowed just like regular HID's without Projectors arent allowed or anything over a 55/60 w bulb is not allowed or driving on high beam is not allowed or smoking / talking on a cell while driving is not allowed

BiXenons have both high and low beam. And a lot of high end cars in our market use them.

They cannot "ban" high beam xenons.

But the real matter is that you should not USE high beams in the city - xenons or not.

That is civic sense which most lack. I was only commenting about the part that said "it is not allowed"..

The cars you mentioned all run on Xenons but you would have never seen the Xenons light up on high beam that is because at high beam a seperate set of Halogens Lights up, and also Corolla Altis Top Model is available with HID Headlamps without the Projector Setup.

your wrong. only some cars have a separate halogen bulb for high beam. the altis is one of them. most of them have xenons for high beam also.

Do you have any thing to support this statement or is this purely hearsay?
