Thanks for the clarifications! I am thinking of using a more powerful H8 halogen (with a relay) in the fogs maybe a 90/100

Guys, have been wanting to install HID's for the fogs(H8) of my SX4 and am really confused which brand to go in for. I came across various brands like Bosch (which is the cheapest of the lot, but most people say its fake). Then there is Autoguage, P4, Hall-W, Philips(only size available is H4), Eagle and a few others. The range starts from 5.5k for a 1 particular model of bosch and 8.5k for another type of bosch and the rest are around 10-12k mark with the exception of Philips which is for 20k (but then philips does not make a set in H8 which is my requirement)

Now im really confused as to which brand to go in for and how do i know if its original or fake?? Will using a Bosch (which i believe is fake, as im told Bosch does not make HID's for the aftermarket) affect my car electricals in any way??

I would really appreciate some help here?? Reliability (Xenons and Car electricals), originality, performance and most importantly how do the Xenon kits from various brands out there stack up with each other. These are my prime concerns here. Existing HID users, kindly share your experiences hereplease:

Lastly, there is an abundance of knowledge regarding which brands of halogen lights to go in for various requirements, but not soo much about Xenons in this wonderful thread. Would really appreciate some light being shed in this aspect as well.

Cheers

1. Yes, stock swift fog lamp assembly.
2. OEM = H8 Bulbs, Im using an h7 kit though.

The H8 HID kit will be the best bet & safest. I recommend 3000-4300k for the best output and visibility.

One good thing about the swift fog lamps is the design ensures minimum glare, mirror for oncoming motorists as compared to many other fogs that Iv seen. Brownie points for MUL :)

I have a Getz GL Nov 2004 model (without crystal clear headlamp). The lights are too dull and I find them unsafe during night and highway driving.

Is it advisable to retain 60/55W power and go for Philips H4 white light bulbs? Would I need any other structural changes to be done?

Or should I go for 100/90W power and get Narva/Philps with additional relay?

Please suggest trust worthy places in Mumbai to go to (i.e. the electrician should be good!). Also, please mention costs associated.

I have used Vision + 60/55W in Getz and they work great. Spread is much better.
Make sure you get originals, most of people using philips bulbs are not using philips bulbs.

I'm unable to locate either Vision Plus or Xtreme Power or Osram Silverstar + bulbs in Mumbai. Anybody know any specific shops. Everybody is trying to sell me 100/90 W bulbs, while I am only looking for 60/55 W. Leads are appreciated.

Nope vision+ are slightly white and are 60/55W
When I had used them in the Getz, the light improvement was drastic, looks lile PW is seeing the same results.

Hi,

I have a m800 5speed and the standard lights are too bad for night driving on highways. Could you please tell me where in Bangalore I can buy and fit a 100/90 halogens with necessary relay and ceramic holders if necessary. Preferably somewhere near bannerghatta road area.

Thanks in Advance.
