Hyundai Fluidic Verna 1.6 VTVT | 6 Years | 54,000 Kms: Ownership Review

[bhvm]

Bro if your headlights are shot and need replacement, you are at the perfect time.
Just get them modified with Morimoto Projectors. These projectors will bypass the stock reflector (which I assume has dulled) and in the cost you will spend to get new headlights, you'll have a sorted projector setup. You can polish the front lens using 3m headlight restorer.

How much will it cost ?
The reflectors are alright , it's the lens which is creating problem. The lens cannot be cleaned / polished. The inner glass is cracking which cannot be repaired but replaced.

 

[bhvm]

Visit any Morimoto Installer in your area and show them these lens. Generally small scratches to not hamper beam pattern and pattern is made in Projector itself. Still, your damage looks serious.

I have the model before that. 2014. Stock had no projectors but i got an aftermarket installed from xenonplanet(xenonplanet.in)
FXR 3.0. 4300k CNlights D2s bulb. 55w quick start ballasts.
I felt its much better than most headlights on the road. Posting a few pics for reference.


Sorry for the OT, allhyundaicars :P

How much did you pay for this myth ?

@ bhvm - morimotos are expensive :/
Elite hid h4 costs 13500rs
And the basic porjectors type lens costs 23k.

 

[bhvm]

They might be expensive but its a worthy upgrade for long term cars.

Why buy these horns from aliexpress when you can get horns from minda, hella, roots at almost the same price?
Freq is 510, 410 which is same as what we get here.
Though the sound is pretty good in the video link.

 

[allhyundaicars]

The sound output is more than the hella and roots that's why bought these from AliExpress.

 

[allhyundaicars]

Got original new headlights for the car today, 5400rs for a pair.

Gobbled up the entire boot space.






You have to unscrew three bolts to remove the headlights. One bolt is clearly visible when you open the hood. You have to remove the upper portion of the bumper to access the rest of the two bolts.





Comparison between the old and the new ones.

 

[bhvm]

at that price it's a steal!
how's the improvement in throw & Beam?

 

[allhyundaicars]

It's much better now. I can see the cutoff as well. I don't recall seeing the cutoff before

 

[allhyundaicars]

it's using 5050 led chips. should be decently bright.

What type of LED is this ? When I went to buy the headlamps , I bought these for a friend's Verna and you won't believe the brightness is equal if not more than the 5050 LEDs. I got 3 bulbs like this for 100rs only :/

 

[bhvm]

this is a cob chip buddy. chip on board. you can buy these by the ton from China. super cheap. brightness should be decent as there are over a dozen Small chips in it.

 

[allhyundaicars]

Verna was giving less mileage so got it serviced early. I hope the mileage improves after this.

May I know the reason why you preferred used 10W40 when Hyundai recommends 5W30 ?
