Thanks for the compliment.

You will easy find Phillips Rally bulbs in car accessory shops in sadar.Try Dubai Autos(he gives discount to pakwheelers)

The Osrams you are going to have to import as they are not available in Pakistan.

unfortunately, neither Dubai Autos (Sheharyar) at Rwp Sadar keeps either the Phillips Rally of Osram's Night Breakers nor it's available anywhere in sight, well, as far as I could see. I had checked entire Isb, Rwp and Lahore market for the said before placing an order on Ebay. I'm not disappointing you guys but the fact is, there're 99% chances you'd have to import either desired!

Excellent and very informative topic

[trankulizer]

If I'm not wrong, they are the blue bulbs right?

If they are then they are useless.You are better off with your stock bulbs.

However, I would suggest Phillips Rally bulbs for your car, they are easily available and will twice the output(The color won't change though).

These are Halogen projectors which are not meant to be used with HID's.

If you do use HID's in them, the output won't be good, and there is a chance of the projectors getting damaged from the inside due to the HID bulbs.

Yup there Blue... ill check out da rally bulbs ur tokn bout...

I am building a jeep for offroad and onroad use. Need effective lighting for the head lap and roof light bar. What HID projector lamps are most suitable, which are easily available in Pakistan.

HID Projectors that are easily available in Pakistan would come from a CL7/CL9, Toyota Harrier, Mark-X, and any cars that come with HID projectors from the factory.

If you can get your hands on any of the above and install 3000K(yellow) HID bulbs in them them, then they will give you great visibility.

Blazer fog light projectors are great as fog lights but I don't think they will be available in Pakistan.

For a roof light bar, you could install an HID kit in regular Halogen reflector housings which are meant for off road use preferably with 4300K HID bulbs.Since its for off road use, I wouldn't worry about the glare.

Or you could alternatively get those

thanks for the quick reply. Any idea how much the CL7/9 lamps would cost from Shersha / Bilal Ganj

I'm afraid I have no idea.

Please keep in mind that these projectors are meant for on road lighting, so you could essentially get better results with purpose built lights for off road use.

Thanks qwertypoiu for the suggestion. Looking for something sleeker to go with the design theme of the vehicle, such as projectors. IPFs are slightly bulky, but would keep them under consideration.

Bear in mind you are going to have to protect the projector housings from the elements.

I would also suggest looking into Halogen projectors like from a Camry.They go well with HID kits with some glare(but it really isn't an issue if you're off roading)
