LEDs are not designed for halogen reflector setups and will cause a lot of glare for incoming traffic along with poor beam pattern. A very worthwhile upgrade would be 100/90 Philips Rally halogen bulbs with a good quality relay kit. At a fraction of your budget, they bring a big difference in lighting.

Thank you for the quick reply and for sharing the insights, my question is , if I use 100/90 Bulbs, will they pose a threat to the Headlight casing, that it might melt?

Below is the link, albeit its a H4, I can't find H19 anywhere.

additionally, I was now scrolling through the Philips Page, and found the following headlight with same 55W wattage and higher output.

1. X-Treme Vision G-Force - 12342XVGB1 - 12V/55W

Will this be a good buy? I am not sure if this can be compatible with H19 Sockets that I have.


I have the following current stock lamps installed.

100/90 is safe and doesn't impact the reflectors. 130/100 W can burn the reflectors.

H4 and H19 holders seem the same. I suggest you order one piece and see if it fits the holder and then order the relay kit + 2nd bulb. You can also buy one from any automotive store and try, as a generic H4 100/90 bulb costs a 100 bucks or less.

2 bulbs + relay kit + fitting charges would cost 1500-2000 rupees at max.

additionally, I was now scrolling through the Philips Page, and found the following headlight with same 55W wattage and higher output.

Per my experience, they are no match for a 100/90 (130/100) bulb. Give them a pass.

I have the following current stock lamps installed.

If H4 doesn't fit then here are some H19 100/90 bulbs.

This video

This video gives a clear explanation on the difference between H4 and H19.

There is a small filing to be done to created 2 notches to make H19 compatible with H4 holders. Does not seem to be a big deal. I have ordered this H4 bulb & this relay just now. Will update after the upgrade. My grandi10 headlight experience has been horrible so far and hope this upgrade helps.

Got the parts last week and completed the fitment. To my surprise my Grand i10(MY2015) was already fitted with a H4 . There was no necessity of filing the new bulb to create the notches.

The fitment was done my by FNG. There was the additional necessity to make a hole on the circular plastic cover of the headlamp unit.

My high beam did not work when I checked in the evening. Got it sorted the next day. Issue seems to be loose connection, but nevertheless took lessons from the mechanic to lean how to troubleshoot in case of emergency.

Beam looks good. Visibility is improved. Hope to take it on a longer spin in the coming days to see the real impact.
