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.

Re: Auto Lighting thread : Post all queries about automobile lighting here

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.

Re: Auto Lighting thread : Post all queries about automobile lighting here

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.

Re: Auto Lighting thread : Post all queries about automobile lighting here

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?

Re: Auto Lighting thread : Post all queries about automobile lighting here

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.

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.
