I am not sure bosch hid is sold in chennai but i have seen philips hid but it was with out warrenty for 8K. yes the warranty will be void if you fix them.

I think i saw H4 extreme power bulbs in car palace, kdpuram. but they were quite overpriced. I recall sankar telling me that they were available cheaper in spares shops

Hi,
I have searched the whole thread but couldn't find anything about the LIGHTFORCE I seriously need auxiliary lights on my safari are they better than Hella Rallye 4000 XENON has anyone try these lights on there vehicle. I also want to upgrade the head lights to XENON the guy in accessory shop said you only get the HID kit for the safari no projector or ballasts nothing, just fix the bulbs thats it. Is it true.. PLEASE ADVICE

I need to choose between LIGHTFORCE XGT HID Or Hella RALLYE 4000 Xenon. Has any BHPian used any of the above mention lights on there vehicle?? Replyplease:

I will be changing my ford ikon headlight bulbs to 90/100. I had 2 makes in mind, Hella or Phillips ralle.

What are the halogen options I have?

4300K HIDs are the closest you'll get to normal light. Any lower and you'll have to pay a lot more. Any higher and you lose usable light.

People using 8000K HIDs are worse off than using bog standard 55w halogens.

Oh yeah, please don't put them in your halogen reflector headlamps. Change to a full projector setup.

Try philips and Halonix. Depending on your car's reflector design, either of the two can be good

Lots of reviews are available on the web for both the lights. From what I have read both are terrific lights. If you have the mullah, go for it:thumbs up. You may want to check the new Lightforce 210 Genesis HID too.

I was interested in Lightforce 140MM some time back. They cost you 17000 Rs per pair inclusive of 12.5% vat

I would recommend philips or Narva (not sure of the exact name of the bulb, but it used to come with a yellow tinch). If you're very particular on only lighting, go for Philips 130 watts

any bulb with a coating will give less light than an uncoated bulb. So its always better to go for clear bulbs if more light is the need.

I finally managed to get hold of a pair of Philips Xtreme Power +80% H4s from an accessory shop in Vashi @ 900 a pair. It's worth it as an upgrade to the stock headlamps in my Indica.

Same here in Bangalore! I ordered for a pair from Autoshop, Kormangala. He called AK traders (distributor) and confirmed Rs.900 a pair!
