Hyundai Xcent Accessories & Modifications

[Manoj Xcent]

Hi Folks,
Gave my car to second service last month. They told me to do wheel balancing and alignment outside as the machine in service center was in a issue.

service was ok. This time car had smooth gear shifts and clutch play.

Went to Bridgestone store for wheel balancing,alignment and rotation.

Total Rs.2500

I heard Hyundai Engine oil is used in HASS now.

so finally after 2 months of searching, today i finally replaced the stock goodyears 165/65r14 tyres with michelin xm2 185/60/r14 and what a difference it has been!!! you need to upsize to feel what hyundai/goodyear have been hiding from us. there is no almost no road noise, the grip has increased considerably and the suspension feels soo good.

will be soon doing mumbai-lonavala drive to ascertain its behavior on highways and highspeed, which i am sure will be excellent.

i got it for 5100 each, had done 9.5k km on them and old ones returned 800rs only for all 4!! that too i consider bonus as earlier other shops had refused to give anything at all for these low spec goodyears. also, got wheel balancing and alignment free.

Anyone using a HID kit in fog lamps ? If yes how is the throw now? stock fog lamps have literally no throw at all.

Yes, you can replace the bulbs with ones of a higher color temperature (but the same power rating). Great options include Osram Night Breaker Unlimited (3900 Kelvin) and Osram Cool Blue Intense (4100 Kelvin), but keep in mind that it's unlikely they'll completely match the LEDs (~6000 Kelvin).

This affair looks costly. Better go for 130/90W relay and philips rallye 100/90W halogen bulbs. Total amount will be not more than 1000 Rs.

dont want to play with wiring hence, ruled out relay. decided upon osam night breaker unlimited h4 4300kelvin from amazon for 1600rs for a pair.

It's just plug n play installation. No write cutting or any other trouble.

Although you have already purchased the bulbs now so no worries

Sorry about the late response! But in essence, a higher color temperature (measured in Kelvin) means the light is closer to white.

I can't think of why this price difference exists, I'm confident it wasn't that pronounced just a few months ago.

NEVER PURCHASE THIS OSRAM PRODUCT!!
the light is nowhere close to white, it is same as stock lights, the only difference is on high beam, which is hardly used in city, feels cheated. how can 4300 kelvin be so yellow, whereas phillips 3700 kelvin gives good white throw.

I own Grand i10 Sportz 1.2, it has its OE Good Year 165/65/R14 tyres. If I install alloys in this tyre size and in Future if I want to upsize its width, for example 195/65/R14 will the alloys fit in perfectly?

yes, it will till you upsize in r14. r15 tyres wont fit in r14 wheels.
