| ![]() Guys: Does anyone know if a Swift is equipped with a company fitted Headlight relay. I could locate the relay for the fogs in the fuse box (in the bonnet) but none for the headlights. |

| ![]() Yes, fog light does have a relay - located in the fuse box in the bonnet. It is even mentioned in the car service manual (i have dzire) but just could not locate it for the H/L. |

The HL relays are used for protecting low current capable stock wiring and also for providing the least length (lower resistance) path between the bulbs and the battery which would mean minimal losses and better light output. I could be wrong, but IMO, all vehicles should have a stock headlight relay...At least all my 4 wheelers had it by default. IMHO it would be bad design practice (and costly) to route high current to the stalk HL switch. Using a relay is cheaper, sturdier and efficient in power transfer (minimal losses). | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Guys, am not too sure on this. When I installed higher rated bulbs, I bought a relay for this particular bulb. Didnt even have a clue that the stock bulbs had relays. I think fellow bhpians can help you on this |

| ![]() Is philips 100/90 rally discontinued ? I couldn't find any model called rally in philips india website. Only H4 24568 RA and H4 24569 RA is shown in 100/90W. Also where can i get this ceramic holder ? Is there any specific brands to go for ? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() The notice on the packet (100/90s and the 130/100s) says its not street legal in Europe/not for sale in Europe or something of that kind. Not sure if the bulbs are manufactured in India though. Its better to buy the headlight wiring kit readily available in any accessory shop. Roots/Hella make good ones. Hellas are harder to fin though.The kit comes with the complete wiring, ceramic holders, relays and fuses for the high and low beams. This way you play safe and avoid tampering the original wiring. |

| ![]() I have a basic doubt - A silly noob question. Why do people switch on ALL lights in their vehicle [I mean HL High Beam as well as Fog lights and extra lights] in city traffic? I also find that some are interested in changing the FOG lamps to HIDs etc..Dont you consider it an overkill? Cheers |

| ![]() A +10 to above. Infact we need yellow or colored lights for better penetration in FOG!! |
