| ![]() Hi, Is any one using HID in Swift with original reflectors? As per my findings, it works well with projector type reflectors. But when I met AK Traders (Dealer) he suggested to go for HID once for all, since I've been triying, +80%, 90/100 diff bulbs etc ![]() |

| ![]() Totally agree. In fact 130/100 do not cost much above 100/90. However, check with your mechanic if it may tend to burn your headlight assemble. I know of many persons who are successfully using it without any trouble though! |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have been using 130/100s in my Chevy since 2 years. Infact, I just completed a 9 hour night drive yesterday. These bulbs are brilliant. Go for it, if you are sure of your car's reflector's quality. Otherwise, stick to 100/90. |

so 130/100 bulbs are supported by the same relay kit as 100/90 ? Anyone using 130/100 in ANHC ? Last edited by shamanth : 8th January 2010 at 12:14. | |

So the relay will also be 12V. But you can insist on heavy duty finolex wires. Roots relay is one of the best. It supports all four of my Hella projectors! They have 4 Phillips 100W H3 bulbs. I used them continuously for 9 hours yesterday!!! No problems whatsoever! | |

| ![]() Hello Guys, I am planning to put White LED Strip on my Alto Headlights. The Cost of Laminated Water Proof Strip is 400 Rs. per Meter. I had some Queries and hope to get them answered : 1) My Current Headlight Setup is the Stock 60/55W. I am planning to upgrade to 100/90. Will these LED's melt or fuse if installed in a 100/90 Setup. Should i stick with 60/55W? 2) Is it possible to fit the LED Strip inside the Headlight Assembly. I mean inside the Headlight Glass Cover. Will that cause any Harm like melting due to high Power? I do not want to stick them externally. 3) Do i need anything else to fit the LED's apart from the LED Strip like Wires, Capacitors, etc. 4) Is it legal to fit these? I do not want to pay regular Fines to Policewala's for this. Thanks, Abhi. |

| ![]() I would like to know if I could replace my OE fitted bulbs in my Scorpio. I hear HIDs are the best, But I am concerned about the vehicles approaching from opposite side. I do not want to blind them and collide. Is my worry making sense or any way I can just settle with simple bulb up-gradation? The light what I get isn't enough - even with the fog lamps within the city. Recommend me the right bulbs or HIDs. Thank you. |

How come then 100W is same as 130W? It is like saying 100 Kg same as 130 Kg ![]() If it was same power why ask for heavy duty wire? Don't contradict yourself. You need heavy wire because 130W bulb will flow 30% more current than a 100W bulb, and 115% more current than a 60W bulb. hence, if 60W needed 5 amp to glow, it will need about 11 amp for 130W. Please do not spread fundamentally wrong info so confidently ![]() -BJ Last edited by bj96 : 8th January 2010 at 15:16. Reason: more info | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hey hey! I put it wrong there. My error. What I meant is that no matter what the power of the bulb, a 12 Volt relay can effectively control the electricity from the battery. I am aware that 130W needs more power, coz I am using it. That is why I insisted on heavy duty wires. Sorry for putting it wrong. |
