PRODUCT REVIEW: NIGHTEYE FOG LAMP LED BULB (H8/H11/H16)
Fog lamp of cars equipped with H8/H11/H16 Halogen bulbs. Generally, it is felt that the illuminations are inadequate and owners tend to upgrade with LED bulbs.
The led Bulb upgrade inside a reflector housing is not advisable and they are not designed so for those bulbs and it results – no focus but scattered light. It may be suitable for projector headlight types.
One of my well-wisher who owns a five years old IGNIS (Alfa) felt that the illumination of their car is insufficient, felt unsafe and needs improvement in their road conditions.
SUZUKI IGNIS comes with OE Halogen H16 (OSRAM, Germany) 12V/19W fog lamps along with DRL LED Head Lights (warm white in ALFA version) and Halogen Lamp for all other versions.
As it is Alfa version, has inbuilt projector head lights, we felt, the only option is to improve the Fog lamp throw.
On our analysis, we found the following possibilities:
We wanted to go with a the good, proven, market popular LED one, as we didn’t want to create any new electrical line. We know, the Aftermarket LED ones have a color temperature of 6000 KV and pure white. We also believed it would not hurt the eyes as it fitted lower side & the existing OE LED Head Lamps have Warm White and would be complement to each other.
There are many branded and, generic rebranded / fake counterfeits of Chinese H8/H11/H16 imports are available in the Indian Market. The best ones from PHILIPS and OSRAM are very expensive. Finally decided towards the most popular 'NIGHTEYE' Brand as felt value for money and started searching for the reliable seller.
THESE ARE THE OBSERVATIONS:
Check this video to differentiate FAFE Vs ORIGIONAL (So called)
At last,
Ordered @ Amazon from this seller OOTRAYS with no hassle 10 days’ return policy and fitted.
PERFORMANCE IN REAL TIME:
FINAL VERDICT:
Yes, it’s good, brighter and satisfied. Hope, they would long last.
But, please do not ignore the fact that the OE fog lamp amber color temperature is really supportive, improves the visibility & road details, ensures safe driving during rainy days and on wet roads.
Please don't miss to read MY 'DIY' in the ownership thread.

As it is Alfa version, has inbuilt projector head lights, we felt, the only option is to improve the Fog lamp throw.
On our analysis, we found the following possibilities:
- By adjusting the existing OE fog assy. wheel to improve the beam direction
- By replacing a higher watt halogen bulb that is OSRAM 12V/32W in place of OE OSRAM 12V/17W
- By Replacing OE with a projector type fog lamp assy.
- By just changing the OE bulb to a LED one.

Finally decided towards the most popular 'NIGHTEYE' Brand as felt value for money and started searching for the reliable seller.
THESE ARE THE OBSERVATIONS:
- NIGHTEYE Brand (The so called ORIGINAL) is not really original and it is the best copy of NOVSIGHT Automotive Bulb (USA), copied/manufactured in CHINA and sold in INDIA. This a old design of NOVASIGHT and they are no more selling this design now. Note in the box –the misleading Overseas Manufacture’s address and the web link. The box size is now compact and smaller without additional accessories like gloves. But, Indian Buyers feedback assures that these are reliable and value for money.
- NIGHTEYE Brand (The so called FAKE) is also manufactured in CHINA by a third grade manufacturer and totally unreliable and very poor.
- It is sold by different sellers in their own name without disclosing on the box the ‘NIGHTEYE’ brand name, and some are disclosing ‘NIGHTEYE’ or NOVSIGHT fake brand names. Original NOVSIGHT can also be ordered online from the manufacture’s side, but very expensive.
