hi fellow members,
i wanted to clarify that would the installation of extreme power damage the reflector or the plastics in the headlight cluster due to heat?
thanks

Don't think so. See my post above. I have been a happy user of Xtreme power for the last 18 months.

Hey mate,

Where in Bangalore do you get this done. Please provide details.

I was running on "Philips H4 Whitelight Essential Vision 100/90w". Philips Lighting Hong Kong - EssentialVison

Offlate, I felt the power of these bulbs were diminished. I had put them about 8 months back. Last evening, I observed the light to be fading when put on High beam. Checked the lights, High beam was not glowing on Right Side.

I did check the low beam and is working perfect. Removed the bulb and figured out the high beam filament is gone.

I have the Roots wiring kit. Now my query to guru's out here is do I just replace one single bulb or replace both with something better in 100/90W.

Reading through this thread, figured out that Xtreme Power is quite in demand.

My requirements are,

1. Need clear vision during Rains - Its a must, will not compromise on this.
2. I felt the bulbs I was using were not that effective when the sodium street lights were on. Is it the case with all, or just this.

Please direct me to shop where I can get the original bulbs. I have heard there have many duplicates in market specially the Philips.

Hows the performance of these white colored bulbs? Does it work well with wet roads coz white light is poor in performance when it comes to wet conditions.

I also got two different company bulbs in my car, 1 from Narva and another from Philips both 90/100, so no issues but only in your case the color might differ if you go for philips rallye.

Hey, i would like to know the size of the HiD Bulb that would fit the alto fog light assembly.The way i had done it before was to take a zen estillo fog light assembly and retrofit it into the plastic mounting of the alto fog light and then mount them. had a fender bender recently and have lost a bulb because of it. which bulb would fit or would i have to do the same thing again as retrofitting and re sealing the fog light assembly is a real pain. i have seen other alto's with hid kits in the fogs so i'm sure someone here would be able to shed some light on this. If there is no solution will have to go the route i had taken before.

hi guys

i've been using 100/90W philips rallye headlights for my '04 Santro Xing XS since the past 3 years. the only downside is that i havent installed any cut out or relays. nothing has happened of now. pls advice me on this if the cut out and relays are actually required or not. All expert advice OPEN :)

I have a Roots relay with ceramic holders. It should cost you around Rs. 600, it installs in a jiffy (no modifications required).

I am getting this installed soon, as I've had bad contact in Head-light combination switch (its the one at steering) earlier and I am sure it was due to pro-longed usage of 90/100w bulbs.

However i've not found roots kit here on couple of shops i've asked.

Will hunt for it when i get time to visit multiple shops

thanks for the reply guys. i really wanna add those roots relays but here in mangalore they charge 1500 odd. thats the reason i was thinking twice to change. if anybody knows about where in mangalore can i get roots kit for 600 pls let me know guys. i wud be great. i really dont know how many of u are familiar with mangalore. i see a lot are fro bengaluru :D

Hi guys,

This is just to keep me informed.I'm a noob!!stupid:
I would like to know if Hyundai i10's have projector headlamp kits? I asked so because I have seen umpteen no. of Swifts with such headlamps (like the ones in a Beamer 7 series)! Could you guys get me more info on this and this is the look I want. Got it from the BHP Garage!

Also are there any aftermarket tail lamp kits for i10 that give it the look of an Audi tail lamp, I meant the ones that have LEDs in them?

Also could anyone tell me if I'll have cop trouble if I change the stock head lamp & tail lamp assembly?

And as I said earlier I won't be upgrading the stock lamps for an year or so!! Pockets have holes in them!! lol: This is just to satisfy my curiosity!!
