and my dealer have qujoted me 20 k for philips kit

.is he bluffing me?

tsk1979 · 27th March 2008, 11:10

I never said the philips kit is 20K.
However unless you know the dealer, you may get duplicate fake Philips kit.
If you are sure its a philips Xenon(buy from distributor), then it will be around 20K It will also come with a bill and warranty

drchernish · 27th March 2008, 22:20

its through official philips distributor. hope its not fake

drchernish · 29th March 2008, 21:59

Hey,

Aren't such lights illegal? I thought all auxiliary lights MUST be fitted in line with the stock headlights.

I see this Safari quite often in the Commercial Street area (of Bangalore).

Yup, its a known brand and comes with sleek thin chrome digital ballasts. I quite liked the quality of the kit. Its available in Mumbai for 13k. IIRC, Bhpian Vikram from Pune is usind P4 HID's in his Civic as well.

Cheers

Dear Team, I have upgraded my Tavera's headlights to Phillips 130/100 Rally. I have also done new wiring with relay/cut out.

My questions;
1. Is a ceramic holder absolutely necessary? Will the existing holder melt?
2. I am planning to fit Hella fog lamps also. The power is 55 W. The total cost quoted is Rs. 2500. I was told that seperate wiring has to be done and another cut out has to be installed. Is it correct?
3. Should I go for yellow lights or the brighter white ones, considering the fact that I live in Pune, where it is not misty.

Please help me on my queries.

Thanks a lot!
