@Koushh, Nice Eyes Mate. It actually Gels with the Model which you are usingn (Mine is also the same Model City SMT 2009). Can you guide us with the price, brand etc.
Can anyone guide me the place where the Projectors can be installed in Mumbai ? Have been searching for longtime and my Headlights seems to be down on power, need a replacement asap. The Place where i stay, they, have got some Chinese product w/o Warranty/Guaranty which costing about 13K for Projectos and about 5K for DRL's.
Pls. help.
Cheers

No I didn't, I got it done @ Indian DeCars, Hyderabad.
I didn't want to go for the no guarantee kits which 3-4 shops here quoted about 18-20k for the setup of my requirement.
The headlight assembly I got contains the 5000k H4 55w HID Kit, Devil Eye Projectors, DRL (White + Amber), 1 Year warranty

HI,
Dr MUDHAN - Respect from land of Bengali..![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
Just bought my new car last month on 21st August 2015. Vehicles that were under considerations were:
a. Honda City i-vtech - V
b. Maruti Suzuki Ciaz - ZXI (not +)
c. Hundai Verna.
I exchanged my dad's 6 years old hyundai I20 (ODO - 60k K.Ms).
I approached Honda 1st and inquired about ANHC V i-vteach (I need all bells and whistles) but I was bitterly disappointed as they coated the price of my old I20 as 1.8 lac. More over on road price of V petrol was 10.68 here is West Bengal.![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")
My budget was till 10 lac maximum. No scope of discussion.
2nd was Hyudai Verna petrol S(O). Here the story was same on road price was out of my reach and price of my old car didn't go above 2.3 and on road price of the S(O) was 10.58 lac.
3rd was Maruti Suzuki Ciaz ZXI. I approached them last as I always knew Ciaz was in my budget just that I need to get a decent price of my old car. Luckily they provided me a tempting price for my old car of 2.9 lac and on road price of the car was 9.88 lac (with 4 years extended warranty and b2b insurance) after providing a 20K discount for stock clearance of old Ciaz for new Hybrid one.
Finally took delivery of Ciaz on 21st August. Hope I will be welcomed to the thread though I am not a City owner.
Here are few pics of my new car.

Thanks for posting your DIY and the pictures. It’s really interesting. Hope, the display of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is clear on both driver and passenger sides. Especially Joycon EXR Steering Wheel Control PC Interface is interesting to know as to Control the Carputer from the factory steering wheel buttons.

Hi Dr MUDHAN,
Thanks for the lovely comments. Planing to upgrade from normal halogen to HID. What your say? I have asked same question in relevant thread and waiting feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Dr Mudhan with your advice I would like to take a final call on the upgrade of tyres. Recently on a trip to lonavala from Mumbai had puncture on FL tyre. The tyre was damaged in as many as 4 places. Also I gave my car for service last week and have been told that front tyres have worn out a bit. Completed 21k kms. So I would love to start off my journey at chennai with new tyres. Which is the size that you would suggest?
Michelin primacy 3st for me
195/65 R15
I have them on and love them
The bouncing in the back seat has also become neglible
Road noise is minimal. You can hear the engine even at speeds over 90kmph.
Grip is excellent.
Despite what tyre dealers tell you 195/65 works excellent in the car.

I would choose Michelin Primacy 3st (195/65 R15) for my car and I believe that our cars, the face lift 3RD Generation ANHC which is with little stiffer suspension and a better ground clearance will go well with the OE Alloy Wheels(15/5.5j). I am ready to do this, even if other ANHC owners feel it a risk and if they go with 195/60 R15 by Conventional practice.
Please go through the following chart and you will understand that any difference is there in choosing the two different tire profile: 195/65 R15 and 195/60 R15.

Has anybody received information regarding the recall?
^^ I checked my VIN online on Honda India website but it says "No product update needed" though my car is Oct 2012 manufactured.
@koush
Thinking of going in for the Genome (5000k) projectors too
What was the cost breakup of the Genome projectors and the DRL Strip
I'm getting it for 20k in Pune
And between 2.5 to 6 k for the drl strip depending on quality.
