I went yesterday for tyres and even though both japan tyres and discount tyres said one day ago that fresh Michelin are available but when i went there, japan tyre had 2015 tyre and discount tyre was out of stock. CC5 were also not available at both shops...
Kher Japan tyre gave me one week time.

i bougth xm2 from discount few months back and i fear that they might have smuggled tires since i got tyres with different manufacturing dates one pair with 1st week of 2016 and other 10th week of 2016 i inquired the saleman but he said these are imported this way but there was no sticker or stamp of local disrtibutor of michellins in pakistan which in many threads i found to be was some sheikh brothers or traders of karachi
else drive wise tyres are ok

Stamp is supposed to be on tyres?

no on the packing theres suppose to be a sticker of local dsitributor but they can be re wraped again who know what they sell in pak search on the forums you will see a picture of urdu instructions etc

[/quote]

Yea i saw that. But like you said they can always re-wrap it. I also found there is no official distributor of Michelin in Pakistan so there is a very high chance that the imported tyre we are getting will actually be smuggled one...

first of all eagle eye and cat eye, vti and exi are not bone similar so their are few technical variations between all varients so kindly share varient along with experience/ suggestion

OK leme share my experience around 2 years back when I got the car for some reason I went to mechanic and asked him to change its fuel filter he opened up the fuel pump below rear seat and took out a filter and replaced it with new filter infront of my own eyes... i dont remember its shape or size as its two years now but filter costed me 900rs at that time and now since few months my car knocks a lot so akash said k it's fuel filter which needs replacement and filter is next to rear wheel he says k oem filter is around 5k then their is one for 1400 rs and cheapest one is for 500 rs.

M going to get filter replaced very soon INSHALLAH may be in a week as soon as i find time but real problem is that i dont wana spend 5k on a stupid filter lol so wat would u people suggest should i go for 1400 one or 500 one? and one more thing k if filter is next to some rear wheel then what the hell was that filter which i replaced 2 years back?

car under discussion is eagle eye oriel

still waiting for the results, do you have 2005 model or 2003? i have been told for 2005 model the filter is only under the rear seat and there is nothing next to the tyre, do let me know please i want to change my fuel filter soon.

anybody bought these from daraz? Someone was looking for bulbs earlier

[bilalahm]

I think the wiring in this car was meant to handle the load of 55w bulb, can someone confirm ?

[ammadd]

You cannot use these bulbs in Civic. We can only use 60/55w. Size is h4 for my VTI 2002
I am thinking of Importing bulbs from Aliexpress Osram Nightbreaker Laser just cant make my mind if they will be worth it or not..

[HellsGuardian]

yes but high beam does not run constantly... still it is a risk to run 45watt extra.

Ammad, in civic 2005, the high beam is 9005 type and low beam is 9006..

Btw i am considering following for high beam, do you think it will be good enough? Please note i rarely and carefully use high beam so that incoming traffic is not disturbed.

Oh Okay
But still using high wattage can burn up the wiring from what i have heard. So it is better to be safe then sorry. Anyways product has good ratings.. Why do you need high beam between? It just used for a few seconds.

yea thats why not going for rallyvision, my hi beam bulbs are due for changing so i am thinking to try this led bulb. Reviews are very good and pics also look great

[bilalahm]

Got hold of the manual that came with the car.

[bilalahm]

Btw, get your 7th gen civic aligned as per the following specs. Hoping you have the recommended sized tires installed so that everything is as per the actual / targeted settings, too bad if its running on extra wide big tires because someone sitting on the side informed issay garip aur handaling fit ho jaati ....... these specs won't help your car behaving bonkers if that's the case

[HellsGuardian]

Guys shall i go ahead with these LED bulbs?

[bilalahm]

My "guess" is that they won't fit the housing of our honda, not sure though. Just the type of connection is not enough, some cars have cramped installation area and some do not hampering the installation, that is why I asked if anyone has done it already and can give some accurate info.

[HellsGuardian]

That is a very valid point... Btw someone at pw is selling bulbs and he has 70w rallyvision which i think is a good option instead of that 100w

[HellsGuardian]

Btw i checked dimensions, The led along with heatsink is 6mm longer and width of heatsink is also 4mm more. Shouldn't be much of problem, shall i go ahead and order?

[arsalaanali89]

i have purchased exactly same n i'm not satisfied. These r no way near the printed 70w output, 70w for both the led's i guess. So better get regular halogens like philips rallyvision or osram nightbreaker

[HellsGuardian]

yes its 35watt each bulb. Hmm ok yes rally visions are pretty good, i am using it as low beams.

[ammadd]

How much they costed you? (Rally Vision)
Are they 160 times better than normal bulbs? as they claim
and how is the color is it whitish? does it look good at night driving and visibility is how much more (in percentage)?
Can you compare osram nighbreaker laser vs this?
P.s i am going to order after your review..

[ammadd]

Probably no. Use the recommended ones since you dont know if they will fix or need alteration and if you accidentally drive on high beam for some time they may cause short circuit... Rally vision or Osram laser will be best!

[HellsGuardian]

i think it was 2200... sorry dont remember exact price but i bought from a pw'er here, his name is babar (nick and number shared in this thread already)

My stock bulbs were like 10 years old so cant really say how many times are these better than stock. A good comparison can only be made if both are new. Btw their claim is in percentages not X times the stock

No colour is not whitish, the bulb is very bright though and visibility is great. Whitish bulbs in halogens are achieved by tinting the glass which reduces the brightness slightly.

Never used osram or any other. There is a simple rule, the brighter the halogen, the lesser its lifetime. I personally am satisfied by the result of rallyvision especially when you consider its lower price
