| ![]() Hello Abhi, Better to go for Ceramic holders (if you drive at night for long) and Bosh relays (If they are genuine) I've sold my zen last april. However I was using 130/100 for 4+ years and are absolutely safe as Zen has metal reflector and glass. --riju Quote: Originally Posted by abhipuru16 Brother, I saw you use 130/100 bulbs in your Zen. I too own a 2000 Maruti Zen. I am thinking of going for 130/100 Philips Rally bulbs. Here is my post that would give you an idea about my query- http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...ml#post2151569 I am concerned about the reflectors burning. Also, what about the relay? 1. Should I use one 300W Bosch Relay 2. Or should I use two 200W relays for each of the headlights in my Zen? Should I upgrade the wiring and ceramic holders? I presently use the wiring that I got with my 200W HI-LEK Relay. This was my conversation with fellow Team-BHPian yzfrj. After reading this, I feel it's OK to get this mod done. |

I wish if there was a 100/65 kind of rated bulb. Would have been useful. | |

| ![]() What about the relays and wiring? 1. Should I use One Bosch 300W Headlight Relay for 130/100 bulbs or should I use two 200W Headlight Relay individually for left and right Headlight Bulb? 2. Would the present wiring and ceramic holder that was being used for 100/90 bulbs work fine? |

I would suggest 1 Sq MM (17 AWG) for 100-130W. Theoritically it will take 8.33A and10.83A respectively so 0.75 Sq MM (18 AWG) will be OK for 100W, but to be realistic, we should consider few more amps so 1 Sq MM will be the best choice as it can handle more than 15A. | |

![]() You've got the right projectors. RHD type, its lighting up the left kerb nicely without annoying the on coming traffic, most of the after market projectors are LHD so the the beam pattern will be _/ _/ including mine ![]() | |

| ![]() I appreciate your reply sajit. Another query with regards to relays. 1. Should I use two 200W individually for left and right H4 headlights of my 2000 Zen? Or 2. Should I use one Bosch 300W relay for both the headlights and use the wiring that comes with the Bosch relay. 3. Can't I use the present wiring that had come with HI-LEK 200W relay and that had been used with 100/90W? 4. Also, what all models does Philips offer in 130/100W apart from Rally (which is presumably the best)? |

I got it from bangkok, so I guess its a RHD, but if you have read my earlier posts, I had to really go through lot of pain trying to get it focussed professionally. | ||

| ![]() Just changed my Chevy Spark headlights to Philips Bluevision 100/90 with the Roots kit. Must say, the throw is pretty impressive. Driving on the Goa highway post dusk was pretty good. |
