| ![]() You will have to watch our for these things: 1) Deformation of the reflectors, 2) Load on the engine and battery (IMO) 3) On coming traffic hazard doubles due to blinding from to the 100/130 set up. 4) Night driving won't be good for the oncoming traffic. Anurag |

I don't know how correct/authentic his advice is, but since he deals with such power bulbs daily in hundreds, he has definitely more experience than me.So I thought there should be something in his advice and gave up the plan. | |

I have mentioned the same that your authorised dealer told you. 100/130 setup is more of a gamble and harm than helping the driver in efficient night driving. The 100/130 will stress the headlight assembly + battery + alternator + more importantly oncoming traffic. So I find no use in installing this setup that has more disadvantages than advantages. IMO, Best is to stick to 60/55W or worst case 100/90W setup. And good that you dropped your upgrade plan, you saved money and a few curses when the 100/130 is used. ![]() Anurag. | |

| ![]() Any 'driving light' that can be a perfect fit at the fog lamp (bumper) slot of the Fortuner? Looking for the long range (pencil beam) type, as a supplement to the headlights for high speed night driving. This is for a colleague who does not want to mess with the headlights or fit extra lights on a crash guard. Most lamps that we saw are the show-type fog lamps without much range.

Original bulbs: ![]() LED array that I bought (and installed in our Ritz and M800): ![]() Go to any place in your city where they sell such lights and accessories, show them the bulb that's inside the cabin light, and ask for LED replacement. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have changed the festoon type cabin lights of my New WagonR VXI ABS (2013) by Philips LED bulbs. But the problem is this when I blow horn every time, these cabin lights also glow slightly. When I noticed this problem I took my car to the MASS to sort it out but they are unable to do anything and one of the mechanics told me that some of the cars have this problem. Can anyone enlighten me about this problem? |

If you turn off the cabin light completely (move the switch to the OFF position - extreme left), it won't glow at all. With the switch in the middle, the LEDs will have a very faint glow all the time. You can notice it very clearly in the dark. Quote:

The problem is once you use a 100/90 or higher rating bulb, then no 60/55 bulb will satisfy you, no matter how much intensity they claim to provide. | |

| ![]() I am looking out for blueish parking lights (which are legal) for my white Fiat Punto. I bought the Philips Blue Vision w5w, but I am not getting the effect I wanted. Will Osram Cool blue a better option? |

| ![]() Could be because the wiring for the Horn and the cabin lights might be coming from the same source. One easy way to find this out is. Take out you car manual and look at the fuses arrangement. Remove the fuse that feeds the horn and try turning on your cabin lights. If they do not glow then you know the root cause. If not, then somewhere, there must be a live contact between the horn wire and the cabin light wire. Ofcourse, this procedure will identify the source of current to the cabin lights when the horn is pressed and will not eliminate it. One way of doing it might be to isolate the fuses incase of common fuse or to fix the current leak in case of a live contact. |
