HID/LED recommendation

[pwuser149104972020]

Hello Pakwheelers,

HID or LED - which is best?
Need to install one on my honda civic 2000.

On headlights and fog-lamps. Need the brightest with long range coverage with hassle free of getting it replaced due to faulty bulbs often.

Which one is shall i opt for and what will be perfect for my car? Every shop keeper is telling a different story altogether.

Also, whats the best place to buy HID/LED in Karachi?

Appreciate your earliest possible response.

TIA

Please no HIDs in normal halogen reflector, if you still want it then buy Modified Bi-xenon Projector lights, will be a bit costly but Your car will be safer from HIDs induced fires, and of course you will not be creating a nightmare for oncoming traffic (Bigger Problem), Young driver's eyes can reset faster than the older ones, just imagine if some old man is coming towards you, and he get blind for 10 second because of your HIDs ,he will hit you on head to head collision and 90 percent people in both cars die in head on collisions on high speeds and poor rescue response times ,So a big No to HIDs in Normal car light housing, buy complete calibrated Projectors, that will look good,are more safer and you will not get Baddua or abuse from every passing driver

Thanks man. I do realize and understand your point without any argue.

My only intention is for my own visibility. Since i live in place where there is no street lamps and traffic is next to zero, i need it for that part.

I intend to install HID/LED on fog lamp for my regular - dense traffic area use and when i am alone or when i need bright light, i will turn on my head-lights.

Projector Headlights are good option i can explore. Suggest good place in Karachi where i can touch for details.

What about LED instead of HID in halogen housing?

[pwuser148665036643]

boy whatever you use but please do not drive with high beams. It makes every body blind infront of your car. I literally curse every car which has high beams on . It causes accidents. Our traffic police literally needs to educate people how dangerous high beams lights are.

Thanks.
I am not trying to offend anybody. I just trying to use this forum to educate people.

Instead of HID or LED I would suggest good quality H4 bulbs from Philips or Sylvania or some reputable company. They would suit your requirement better and not cause any short circuiting. HID in fog lamps is a waste as the light throw from fog lamps is designed for lighting up area directly in front of the car only and not for long range visibility.

Does H4 bulb also come in white light @5000-6000Kelvins?

I live in A Village In Punjab, I asked the same question and still went ahead by HIDs, believe me they are not worth it, you will not notice any light in Dawn and Dusk but in dark they are scattered and are not even look good to you,removed them just after a week, 8500Rs wasted,dont waste yours, all other issues I have already mentioned, I don't know any one in Karachi who can help for Projector,

[pwuser149104972020]

Thanks all for your feedback and recommendations.

Tried multiple HIDs for my ride but was not satisfied with the result.

So finally, went for the stock bulb with relay
Result is much better. Now both of my head lights and fog lamps are on stock halogen bulbs.

Not fully but still satisfied with the result and obviously a sasta solution

And above all, wont disturb other drivers as well.
