| ![]() Hi Folks! I'm considering upgrading the stock headlights of my Fiat Punto MJD. Punto takes H4 sized bulb. Now, i have been considering a projector kit, but haven't found anything worth yet. A quick search on Amazon gave me two options: 1. Philips Xtreme Vision (http://www.amazon.in/Philips-H4-X-tr...-1&keywords=H4) 2. Philips H/L HID headlight bulb (http://www.amazon.in/Philips-85815-H...-7&keywords=H4) My 1st concern is will any of these replacements require changing the stock wiring. And will the 2nd option even fit in the stock holders, though the size says H4, but the tip of the bulb looks quite different. Please advice! Regards Saurav |

Option 2 : The bulbs are available with wiring or just the bulbs ? They are 85V as per the page and will certainly need wiring and Ballast. They are just bulbs, not the HID kit like this. If you are purchasing the bulbs from link you have mentioned, the wiring +Ballast will have to be purchased separately. | |

Also, please suggest what level of improvement can i expect over the stock lamps and if there are any projector lamps available for Punto & at what possible price points. I searched on amazon & few other portals but in vain. | |

| ![]() Guys, Any feedback on the site http://www.autoglam.in It has different lighting solutions for many vehicles. Since, I have Duster AMT RXZ, are the projectors listed at below site, worth the cost and performance. http://www.autoglam.in/renault/duster Quick response is appreciated.

![]() Once, I was on highway with my second hand M800, the headlights gave away after sometime. On inspection, found the wiring harness had fried exactly near the holders due to heat. If relay kit goes, you’ll end up damaging the relay kit and fuse in that wiring harness, but, if you lose the car wiring, it will be worse. Better safe than sorry. Suppose you burn your relay kit on highway, connect your headlights to stock wiring, until you reach a garage/safe place. ![]() | |

| ![]() @bkc; If you go to 90/100W then relay kit with harness is a must. Remember almost all the wattage comes out as heat. I was talking of the 35/55W regime where relays are more of a problem. Take it from me that as long as you are on 55/60W or less you DO NOT need relays and harness. |

![]() I am planning to downgrade from 90/100w to 55/60w on my swift, due to future warranty issues. Confused between, nightbreakers and extremevision. | |

| ![]() Hi Naren, Can you please, post the headlight pictures from the front end of the vehicle? Need to see how it looks, when viewed the vehicle head-on. Any warranty issues later on?? |

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...ml#post4008620 Electrical Warranty wouldn't be void because Xenon Planet do not cut any stock wiring. You would lose the warranty for headlights though, as they need to be opened for retrofit. Headlight warranty is for manufacturing defects, moisture/water inside headlight etc. You do not need to worry about it because Xenon Planet uses OEM type butyl rubber sealant for resealing the headlights. | |

How is the quality of the retrofit and wiring done by XenonPlanet? Do they do a clean wiring with proper heatshrink tube insulation and copper tape, and good sealing of the headlights? Off topic, I have summarized the quality and reliability issues with my projector setup in this post in a different thread. Last edited by graaja : 7th January 2017 at 11:20. | |
