My experience upgrading to Blaupunkt LED bulbs on my Nexon EV

As an icing on the cake, the accessory guy made sure I waited for an hour just for the bill and ensured that I paid more than the MRP printed on the box.

BHPian Sandegov recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Thanks to feedback from fellow members Carlover86 and Fusionbang on the LED upgrade - I headed over to Adi Shakti Tata showroom which was next door to my office in Hebbal and boy did I regret it! In hindsight should have stuck with Prerana motors

Got myself this Blaupunkt 55W 6000K LED bulbs for my low beam and decided to leave the high beams on factory halogens. These are rated at 5500 Lumens brightness per bulb.

My Nexon EV Max comes with a projector setup on low beams and a traditional reflector setup for high beams and TATA has made it very easy to change bulbs on these. All that the technician needs to do is open the caps behind the headlight and remove the clip holding old bulb and insert the new leds with the plate in same position and close the cap. No need to worry about polarity of electrical plug as well and it can be plugged in either ways.

The technicians at Adi Shakti were first not sure which was low beam and which one was high beam till I pointed it out to them, I should have taken the cue and scooted from there at this point, once that was figured out they removed the back cover and proceeded to install the LED. They had only one thing to ensure and that was to keep the LED bulb vertical and Blaupunkt has even tried to make this dummy proof by instructing to just make sure that the bulb wire comes out at the bottom which will in turn ensure that the bulb is vertical but these technicials just pushed and shoved the bulb in without a care and called it a day. Requested them to check the light once on their alignment board and they asked me what was that! In between all this they managed to drop one of the light covers between the engine bay and they had to remove few screws of undercover to retrieve and they fixed it back without the washers and now I am getting noises from there when on rough roads!

As an icing on the cake the accessory guy made sure I waited for an hour just for the bill and ensured that I paid more than the MRP printed on the box and when questioned they happily added a labour cost related to Tata punch for the difference amount and made me go my way.

After all this, this is what I have when I checked in the dark

Dark spots/patches in front of right headlight and assymetrical throw between left and right
