| ![]() I am looking at the feasibilty of upgrading the fog bulbs on my Grand Vitara to leds. I found some H11 3000K units on aliexpress. They look like this: ![]() There are no heatsinks in these units. Claimed 30W rating. I also found a unit with external heatsink, but they are offering 6000K light temperature only: ![]() These are available in 50W rating with H11 connector on the extension. Usage will be for couple of hours a month in the city. It may be used for a maximum of 5-6 hours during long distance drives. Will the bulb, without heatsink, last? |

If you are getting for first time, then you will also need the ballasts. 35W, 4300k should be fine. | |

Also, I tried turning the gear using the star head but because of the taper of the tip, the edges did not catch the gear teeth so I used the flat head to manually catch and drive the gear. Initially I cursed Maruti for choosing such a lousy design of the adjuster because I had stick my arm in at a weird angle and contort it to make the adjustment. However, I then realised that they have actually made it easier because you can insert a long shaft screwdriver between the headlight and the metal beam that runs along behind it and make adjustments without sticking your hand into the engine bay. | ||

1. Osram Nightbreaker unlimited H4 or Philips Xtreme Power H4 : INR 1500 for a pair - legal and warranty safe 2. Osram Bilux/ Philips Rally 100/90W H4 : INR 1600 with wiring kit, illegal, can render warranty void, need to use higher wattage wiring harness Quote:
![]() See #1 above, just remember to use correct bulb type - H7 I think, in the Ciaz. | ||

Problem is more to do with the teeth of screwdriver. Use a screwdriver with thick teeth with less taper and the job is flawless. | |

![]() About the wiring, you yourself see what a mess it is. And to add to it, there is not even enough space to see what's what. ![]() ![]() Still, I roughly checked it with a multimeter and it seems fine. Hence, faulty bulbs. | |

| ![]() I think a flat tipped star type screwdriver would be ideal, if such a thing exists. Anyway, now that I know how to adjust the beam it will be relatively easier. I will probably need to do it only once more, if at all. |

| ![]() Hi Guys, Can someone advise on locating the flasher relay in a Renault Duster? I need to replace the OEM with one that can handle LEDS (to prevent fast flash) - the flasher clicks are coming from behind the instrument panel- how do I get in there to do the replacement?

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Are LED headlamps (H4 variety with hi/lo in a single bulb) legally allowed in India. Talking about something like this: http://www.ebay.in/itm/252061016108?...84.m1438.l2649 |
