Swift Aftermarket Projector Headlamps : Reviews needed

jagrocks7 · 11th May 2009, 10:47

Yeah I will try getting the bulbs from Satya hope he could help me out. What do you suggest should i go in for any white halogen or a normal yellow halogen would be better.? I read somewhere that osram night breaker does the job good.?

i will suggest night breakers because i have them on my swift and they are doing a great job. and they are not yellow either.

yes now i will have to search for a genuine one as I heard there are lots of fake in the market, How much you paid for the night breakers White_vdi?

white_vdi · 11th May 2009, 23:42

i paid around 960 bucks for night breakers through ebay uk. cost depends on the current conversion rate of GBP.

I'm really dissatisfied with my Osram Night breakers. I understand they're H1s. Are there any better bulbs without a relay in the market?

In fact I am planning to go back to stock. At times the lights dont provide any confidence :(

Tell me about it! by the way, heres some advice for people going in for HIDs. Don't be too excited about visibility in the rains, it's going to suck! It rained today and for once I was glad I had underpowered high beams, the yellow light was the perfect hero in the situation, white light was a joke...

This is the only reason I imported 3000k HID bulbs for my car. 3000k is as yellow as it can get.

Nice! Where did you source them from? Also, I'm running 35w hids. Though the spread is good, the intensity at times is weak. I have seen some hids with awesome intensity. I can only assume they're using the 55w hids in their car. Know where I can get these bulbs? how well do they work in the angel eyes setup?

white_vdi · 21st May 2009, 22:34

zahir fountainheader has 50w HID in his car.

Here's a picture of the projector headlamps on my Ride. Well I am pretty much satisfied with the visibility its good for city driving.

Will add more pictures later, Just clicked this picture after the install and it was already dark, will add some daylight pictures soon. Hope you all like it.

Jag, are the headlights on in the picture? If yes, then the left side headlight does not seem to be on. Or is it the reflection of the flash in the RH side headlight?

Looks good by the way.

No Vikram Sir I forgot to put it on while clicking the picture..

You are correct its the reflection of the flash on the right side headlight. I really thank you for the help and support you gave.

Thanks a lot once again.
