Hello all,
Recently in the last 15 days I had a couple of long runs with my Tigor XT RTQ,
Navi Mumbai - Solapur - Navi Mumbai(950km rum approx)
Navi Mumbai - Pune - Navi Mumbai(400km rum approx)
all of them were primarily night runs, while I extracted 23kmpl and there were no issues with the ride, one thing bothered me a lot that was the headlight. My car runs on stock headlight, the illumination was terrible, not driveable, infact at one point I stopped the car to check if the bulbs have blown out? But no they were fine, and also my headlamp cover is crystal clear i.e. no dull fading or yellowing. At one point when my dad was driving we had a close call because of bad illumination coupled with absence of reflector signage boards and strip markings on the lane! That too on a 4 lane National Highway which collects Toll!
AnywaysI intend to change the bulbs to some high power ones, yet I have a few questions;
1-
which bulbs and rating should I change to, I am not a fan of white light and prefer the amber/yellowish tone, but yes I need more brightness.
2- I think right now the bulb is 55/60, if I go for a higher rating bulb will
there be issues like blowing out of fuse, extra load on electricals or any adverse effect?
3- In my K10,
when I use the high beam, the low beam bulbs also stay on simultaneously at the same time, this is a setting by default in Altos, and it makes night drive really convenient, Tigor has only high beam when switched and the low beam bulb goes off.
Can I have a similar setting for Tigor, as some of the rural roads I travel on have pathetic pot holes, and also twisting turns, so if its only high beam then I have trouble with potholes, and if its only low beam I cant see far ahead(this is where Alto headlights are very convenient) so can there be a solution to this and at the same time I dont want it to be harmful to the electricals.
Just to add, the foglamps are just pathetic on Tigor.
Your suggestions will be very helpful as I am making another solapur trip next week, and intend to get bulbs changed beforehand.
Thank you for the suggestions in advance,
And a happy & safe(5star
) Diwali!
