Which brand should we buy and how much approx price ?
you want LEDs or Halogen?

in Halogen, its available in Phillips and Hella. But hella is 100w and please dont use 100w in foglamp for nano. i was using it for the past 2 years and the fog lamp doom is almost fired up. the reflector material is not there any more. the fog Lamps are OEM.

I have installed DIY LED DRLs on my Beast!
The install was so clean that i'm impressed with myself. Zero wiring visible. Zero Drilling, Zero Wire cutting.

Enjoy folks!
That's really a very good DIY[clap]!

It looks really good to see such a good XUV.

It's actually and really very bright!

Please post some daylight pics too.

55W. Phillips oe hella costs approx 750rs and its not pure whitish. 3500K. and you cant put HIDs or LED H3 in nano's fog lamp. the area is too small.
55w? I'm not sure but seems too much if you're talking fog lamps. 55w are usually headlights.

fog lamps oem are usually 35w (on my xuv 500) or 27w (my hyundai i10). also fortuner has 35w. it's surprising to hear 55w on such small car!

Re: DIY: Painting Bezel of Headlights To Give a Smoke Effect

Nice DIY brother. The outcome looks nice, although it would have looked better if you had a car with bigger lamps (like the Swift). Did you use normal black paint that comes in cans? What was the cost?

Your Zen looks really simple in the fleet of modded cars! Time to spice it up? [;)]

Off Topic: The Swift with the GMC sticker looks really nice. Can you tell the details of the light bar attatched to the lower grill. If possible, price pics and more about efficiency. Thanks in advance.
The normal spray paint was used in the process. My car has got performance upgrades and I want to make it a sleeper [lol]
Regarding the lightbar. It has been fitted by us only. If you are interested then contact 8130752682 for further details.
Regards.

Re: DIY: Painting Bezel of Headlights To Give a Smoke Effect

Would appreciate if you could post about that lightbar here only. It would be helpful to other visitors also.

Do tell the following-
1. The price
2. The light output and efficiency (battery consumption)
3. How is it connected (separate switch or with headlamps)
4. The place from where you got it

And if possible, the pics of the output. I know, I am asking too much but I see many cars in Faridabad fitted with these and the light output is amazing (in a way blinding!). But, can't talk to them.

1. Price is 9k with fitting.
2. The light output is around 12k to 13k lumens. And consumes less power than the coaxial speakers.... [lol]
3. It can be connected either way.
4. It is sourced from a retailer in Delhi.

Thanks brother for telling at this. But, at 9k, I feel it is overpriced (assuming this to be a non-branded item without any warranty). I got tempted after seeing it in Thars and Swifts here. It even took me months deciding to go or not to go for P8 HIDs [lol]. Lets see if I can arrange the finances required. I will contact the number you gave after some time (months!).

MODS: Sorry if this went too off-topic. We will continue the thread discussion from now.
