| ![]() Folks, I've got the 6000K philips HID installed in my Figo. The problem is the spread of the light and I believe projectors is the answer. What I need to know is will the same HID kit work or do I have to remove this and go for a fresh set of HID kit with projectors..!! |

| ![]() Are osram NB plus whiter/more bluish than philps xtreme vision? I would prefer the Kelvin reading to be closer to the original bulbs. |

Both of them are a bit whiter then stock lamps, but the difference is not much, in fact you will hardly be able to notice the difference. Last edited by sameerg001 : 4th May 2013 at 10:04. |

| ![]() I have some queries regarding this item, so posting here for objective feedback. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Hella-HeadLam...#ht_2054wt_802 1. Is this Hella relay genuine? Is it made by the same company which makes those rally lights? 2. If yes to above, is Hella a good choice for headlight relay? 3. It's difficult to make out from the photo, is the bulb holder ceramic? If I were to use this or any other relay, what's the best 90/100W bulb considering following points. A. Better light output than Philips Extreme or Osram NB+. B. Relatively low heat output so as not to darken lens / reflector. This is for a Getz. Last edited by Guite : 4th May 2013 at 22:10. |

Hi djay99, I want to understand your exact setup and usage which resulted in the reflector getting spoilt. Were you using top of the range Philips Rally bulbs? How much time duration was your average usage of headlight per day? During this time was it always on high beam? I believe 100/90 bulbs also come in varying light output and accordingly proportionate heat generation. I am thinking Philips Essential Power / Vision will generate less heat. Moreover the Philips website description says it has UV blocker to protect the reflector. My average usage per day is just about 15 to 20 minutes, out of which I need high beam only half the time. So am still thinking whether I can safely take the risk. I have been using Osram NB+ and fairly satisfied with it. However as a person wearing spectacles, oncoming high beams which refuse to dip are giving me huge problem. If you can't beat them, join them! | |

I have used all types of bulbs from halonex, to lumax to philps. And the current ones are philps premiumvision, best of the lot so far. The throw is awesome and the spread is good. I'll suggest you to go ahead with with 90/100 setup without any worries, Btw I am using them on my accent. | |

Except for one, during last few days, my low beam used to stop working but after switching 2-3 times between high and low, it starts working. And I guess we both are facing the same issue, even fuse in my relay melted and after changing the fuse, the issue went away. Most probably the culprit here is relay, time for change now, I guess. I'll get Hella relay this time probably. Last edited by sameerg001 : 5th May 2013 at 22:18. | |

I bought a new set of headlight unit from hyundai last year and now using philips xtreme vision bulbs and i am satisfied with it. This cannot be compared with 90/100 setup which was fantastic but i am planning to install hella unit some time later. | |

In another post you mention about fuse replacement. I am not much of a self maintenance guy. How easy is it to procure a new fuse? From any 'kirana' kind of spare parts store or only from large spare parts market? How do you troubleshoot and change the fuse? ![]() | |

But there are very rare chances that you will have to encounter this situation, this is the only problem I faced in 3 years after upgrading the lights. Last edited by sameerg001 : 5th May 2013 at 22:49. | ||

Please check if the bulbs are original. Sometimes in the fake ones, the silver coating on the bulb head peels off which could lead to fast darkening of the reflectors. | |
