Re: Xenons HID Lamps Thread
Naveen, I got a quote from Performance Zone. 5500 for bulb + hid and 12500 for bulb + HID + Projector with angel eyes. as the discussions in the thread goes, its useless to use xenon without projector right? Don't know whether I would be able to afford that this month!

4300k- for better visibility with little yellowish mix
6000k- for little bling with little bluish white color
here are few questions to gurus?
Is the new thin so called digital ballast better than the fat ballast?
Does Phillips HID kit come with fat ballast?
how is the brand p8?

Re: Xenons HID Lamps Thread
I had a doubt too on that.
Yes, HID's without projectors wont be that good. If you dont cut the existing stock wires, the warranty wont be void. These HID's and ballast are just plug n play devices. So no cutting is required as seen before.
Am not an expert in these but gained a lot of knowledge after some solid R&D. You are right about the color temp. 4300k offers the best visibility range.
Havent seen much of the digital ballast. It's better than the normal ballast according to many experts since it regulates power evenly and power is not wasted. I think Philips comes with normal ballast. (Not sure, please confirm this)
Havent heard much of p8 since people tend to buy Philips/OSRAM/Auto Gauge as HID's are expensive. People dont want to take a risk on this. But they do advertise a lot in Autocar mags and many shops so think they should do well in the market. Also, since am based in Cochin, Philips and AutoGauge seems to the hot fav here.
Cheers.!

Re: Xenons HID Lamps Thread
Hey. congrats. Your car looks super cool now. You can try to install Philips 6000k HID's. Please do not go for cheap unbranded HID's. You could try adding DRL's like i have. Keep us updated.
Cheers.

Re: Xenons HID Lamps Thread
I have seen this thread now so a small question about to determine about the original product. How would anyone know that these products are original and not fake or locally made. Just because dealer is giving warrenty or there is/are other ways ?
Thanks

Re: Xenons HID Lamps Thread
@polferns
What are these "evo alfas" lights? I dint get them.
This is first time I have heard shops telling to stay away from Philips. Some of the popular brands are Philips, P8, Auto Gauge, Osram. Since you have the old model Headlight kit, you can fix HID's on your low beam and go for higher rated halogens on the high beam since high beam are of reflector type.
The one that I had mentioned was about motorized auto leveling of the headlights. That's seen in the new model, the one I have. See my car's video here
YouTube - Swift Projector Light
@shailinder
I know it's hard you to find which one is fake and genuine. But for philips, you could try this. Philips have these serial numbers that you can verify online. See pics for the no.
Thanks
