Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally, I have got the lighting upgrade for S-Cross and very much satisfied. I have got XP Micro projector from Xenon Planet and very impressed. This is the output pic of my present high beam ![]() ![]() http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...r-s-cross.html |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have S-Cross Alpha and it comes with stock bixenon projectors. But the output is just average. It has Philips D5S HID bulb and 25W ballast. XP Micro is mounted very low and still the high beam is much better than stock HL projectors. |

| ![]() Hi All I own an Indica Vista VX 2011 model. The car has clocked 55000 kms on the odo. For past few days I have been looking for better H7 bulb for low beam. Currently I am using Stock bulbs but sometimes I feel that they are not sufficient. As a responsible citizen I drive with lights on low beam most of the times. I am looking for a normal 4300k bulb. Products I am confused between are Osram Nightbreaker Plus http://www.amazon.in/Osram-P64210-Night-Breaker-Unlimited/dp/B00EPLCPRG/ref=sr_1_1/253-8145144-9714112?ie=UTF8&qid=1478910147&sr=8-1&keywords=osram+night+breaker+unlimited+h7 and Philips X-tremeVision http://www.philips.co.in/c-p/12972XV...headlight-bulb Please suggest. |

| ![]() @ Dr.Naren thanks for the info. Does Xenon planet do regular 90/100 cut off's ? I would also like to know if the online portal epitstop.in sell genuine bulbs and relay kits and is a safe place to order ? |

I first upgraded all 4 lights to Philips X-treme vision, there was noticeable improvement in both the intensity and reach. However they conked out one after the other within a few months of usage. I then moved on to 80W Philips Rallye, WITHOUT additional relays. Output was better than X-treme vision and this setup is going strong for the last 6 months. Both the x-treme vision and Ralley are 4300k. I have now started experimenting with LED headlights for the high beams, wouldn't recommend them as yet! | |

![]() I have had folks who haven't reported long life out of either XV or NB bulbs and the improvement is again not very prominent that you would make out the difference under normal driving circumstances. If you scroll back on this thread, you will get all the answers and review points to make a decision. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Probably most of us Duster owners know the downside of buying a duster with the headlight assembly. ![]() The issue here with duster is severe and I realized only after I bought the vehicle. Stock bulbs (H1 and H7) are Osrams 55W at low and High beams. They are insufficient .The headlight assembly is of a thinner plastic material and that can't take a 100W bulb or you can say good bye to the seal-beams. The other option was to go for Bi-Xenon but what good are Bi-Xenon without a lens also the temperature issue persists and chances of a bent reflector always remains. The advantage with the facelifted Duster was the high beam assembly was even smaller then the previous model and that meant less bleeding of photons. ( read less glare) The solution was to have a something with higher lumen at a lower operating temperature. IT WAS LED TIME ! The installation was very straight forward, the drivers side gives you lots of space to work with, the passenger side, tight squeeze but manageable. Can be done without breaking a sweat. Ordered them off Amazon. I am not a big fan to the fan types ![]() They suck in dust and when the cooling system of those LEDs die ,the LEDs do flicker and eventually die. Moreover Duster has dust caps and I had no intentions of removing them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Recently did Hyderabad-Sikkim-Hyderabad and drove at night with rain+fog and the LEDs held up very well throughout. The LEDs were ON from 8pm to 7am, come to think of it the copper wings at the back could be held with bare hand, so was a very cool deal. Please move the slider to 00:59 it was on the way from Temi Tea garden to Pelling. To Spice things up a little more added 2 spotters. ![]() ![]() And the final product ![]() Last edited by ARAY : 17th November 2016 at 23:51. |

| ![]() Have you checked the difference in light output after a bulb swap in another Polo? If not, I would suggest you to check the actual difference once as I feel that it may not improve the visibility by a large margin. If you want to improve visibility for night driving, a bi-xenon retrofit is the best option in my opinion. |
