Senior - BHPian | ![]() @akshay4587 : In the rain HID is not as effective as good halogens. In fog forget about it... unless you have 3000k HID. So Immortalz is right. Quote:
A 6000k from a reputed manufacturer could provide better throw and illumination than a 4300k from an unknown. But for spec for spec the 4300k would perform a little better in certain conditions. Where are you getting it from ? You can ask the dealer to give you a demo of the same at night and then decide. Do you do a lot of highway driving? One thing 4300k will not turn any heads.. its almost yellow and people wont be able to tell much of a difference(including cops ![]() Last edited by s0uljah : 23rd September 2008 at 10:38.

Use the above and check with your bulb to know what type it is. Hope this is what you were searching for. | |

| ![]() if its the same bulb for high and low its most likely an h4. i think your scorpio would be h4. go to any car accessory shop or the place where you are getting your bulbs fitted and they will be able to tell you the size. |

| ![]() Ok, now I'm thoroughly confused. Went through this thread to find the bulb model of the fog lights of the Sx4 and the Swifts. Initially, realised both were H8. Then I saw people using H7s and H11s in the place of the H8 bulbs.How??? More importantly, to change the bulbs of the Sx4 and Swift fog lights to HIDs what bulb models do I look around for? (Getting them from a Non-Indian source, hence need to specific) Thanks in advance. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Correct. H8 is the OEM bulbs from Maruti for fogs. Quote:
H11 - This is the Swift OEM bulbs overseas from Suzuki. H8/H11 are interchangeable. I suspect H11 will be a better fit than H8, Im waiting for a pair from the dealer. Quote:
Also to save you some money let me say getting HID's in the fogs doesnt offer a significant benefit for the swift/sx4. Last edited by s0uljah : 24th September 2008 at 17:00. Reason: Discussion is about swift/sx4 fogs | ||

Yea, I'm not really expecting it to be really brilliant, but since I'm already 4300K Bixenons as headlights, the yellow beam from the fogs is slightly off putting to the eyes. But in any case, I dont really get such good lighting from the fogs. | |

| ![]() I had the same issue as well, but I was told that you dont usually get Philips VisionPlus for the fogs (H8s) and really actually wouldnt be worth the cost, think I was quoted about a 1k, if I remember clearly. Why not go in for xenons again? Thats what I'm doing - would get a uniform lighting pattern as well, at least colour wise. |
