Hello Aditya,
I can help you source a better version of IPH projector fog lamps which have yellow laser in it's high beam. We have fixed it in our friend's Maruti Swift. The name of the projector is IPH M512S fog lamp projector. Light output is next to Aozoom FLP 2090 fog projector. It will cost you max 5k along with shipping. I have attached pictures of the projector Fog lamps. Let's get in touch for the further details.
Hi..
Was trying to search for some information on headlight upgrades for Exter.
I felt my 1 year old Exter seems quite under equipped about the headlights, hence planning to upgrade. I wanted to understand what is ok and what is not.
Should I go for halogen or LED? Will it help after upgrading or it's something I need to get configured through the service centre?
Any inputs and tips will help me to decide.
For Exter with a reflector setup [EX, S, and S(O)], it’s generally best to start by upgrading to halogen bulbs, possibly with a relay kit if necessary. LEDs should be avoided in reflectors, as they can cause significant glare for oncoming traffic. Bi/Tri-color projector fog lamps with both high and low beam options are the ideal choice for improved visibility in reflector setups.
If you have bifunctional projectors [SX,SX(O)], you may consider opting for LEDs in a 4500K color temperature for balanced brightness and clarity.
For the best results, it’s advisable to purchase the lights offline, so you can test the colour and focus by driving around in the evening or at night. Some adjustment to the beam alignment may be required, but this can be handled by the accessory shop or as a DIY project.
I have Toyota Hyryder Hybrid V model. It has sealed LED projector headlights which are not having satisfactory brightness or spread.
Looking to upgrade the same and got a suggestion to replace the entire projectors by opening the headlight unit and resealing the same after replacing the projectors having 130 W and 5500 K. Total quote for the same is around 30k. Is it worth? Do I have any other options?
I have been trying to find out the type and wattage of the fog lamps used in my 2018 Verna SX. The owners manual has no details on any of the bulbs fitted in the car. On one website it says h27 and another site says hb4. I was hoping someone here could help me out.

Hi,
Verna 2018 used H27/881 type bulb in fog lamps & the wattage is 27W.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Which led bulbs would you suggest as replacement for the Sylvania halogens? I was planning on installing Osram 50w 4200k but not sure if it would be a proper fit.

I recently uprgraded the headlight bulb to MyTVS 150w LED bulbs for around Rs.3500.
They are super bright, for just a single beam setup and they illuminate the road quite well.
Am planning to get the same installed in the fogs soon. Hb4 are available with this brand.
Hello Friends,
Can anyone help me with a situation I'm in-
Headlight performance on my Elite i20 (2017/Diesel/Sports)had reduced a lot and I went to a nearby auto shop to get the bulb changed to Philips xtream vision. After changing the headlight bulb, the shop guy convinced me to change the fog lamp bulbs, which I was not planning on doing. I knew I was being lured into this but still went ahead with it. The fog lamp bulb he changed was 100W (so he says) and he said its compatible with my car and he had changed it on other vehicles as well. My small brain couldn't process the wattage difference then, but after reaching home I started thinking more about it. After going through the user manual I saw that my OEM fog lamp was 27W!
With such a big difference in wattage, I'm now worried about the potential wiring damage and heating issue. But when I check the fuse box diagram I see that the fuse for fog*lamp is 10A. Does this mean the wiring will withstand wattage up to 120? and I can safely use the new bulb of 100W?
I was hoping someone could help me out here. For now I'm not turning on my fog lamps and I'll just switch back to the OEM bulbs if that is the safer option.
I’d like to get a really, really powerful light bar installed on the roof of my Taigun, just above the windshield.
The primary purpose will be to force on-coming vehicles with headlights on to dim.
Any suggestions on this please?

Any lights mounted above the manufacturer’s headlamps are illegal. If I’m not mistaken, LED light bars are also prohibited at any level for regular vehicles. They are permitted only for off-road vehicles and must remain covered when driven on public roads.
While high beams can be a nuisance, installing an LED light bar on the roof is certainly not the appropriate solution.
Hi all,
I am new to this space so kindly bear with me.
I recently bought a Taigun GT plus DSG. As some of you might know, this variant has a dummy headlamp slot besides the actual headlamps. This looks pretty stupid to me. What I also realise is that stock LED headlights are not sufficient for highways in dark areas.
I am looking for a solution which has a good 'throw' and brightens the dark area. I am happy with the stock lights when it comes to city drives, which usually have street lights. So this solution has to have two modes/options, one for the City and one for the highway.
Kindly suggest. Also can changing lights void the warranty? Any recommendations in BLR on who does a good job are welcome.
TIA
I've installed 90/100 headlight bulbs with a relay set up on my honda brio. Since the set up, when I'm driving my car at a speed of 50-60 kmph, the headlight intensity keeps on fluctuating. I took it to the shop back and he replaced it with a new relay but still the issue persists.
Any suggestions?

All LED's wattage figures are not the actual power draw but halogen equivalent. So if the LED box says 100w, its brightness is equal to 4x25 watt halogen. You are good to go there, as LED's generally have a much lesser wattage requirement compared to halogens.
