See till now, whatever driving I've done in the night.. I've found them very useful.. especially when it is pitch dark.

During the time of dusk, when there is little natural light and the street lights are on, I barely notice if my headlights are on or not. But that can be due to the colour they put out i.e. white. Overall, I'm more than satisfied.

No harm to headlight assembly till now. Its clear, visible and useful most of the times, but please avoid driving on HIGH BEAM with 100/90 on.... specially on single roads.

I would suggest to have both pair of tubes and use stock in city condition and 100/90 on highways (one-way only) (you can easily replace in just 5 mins).

So guys is it worth to upgrade to phillips rally, is there a vast improvement, and what is the current rating for the headlights which come factory installed

Ashu and Ezee,

So how has been your experience with the lights. Have you faced any problems. For the benefit of all and me , can you let us know your suggestions on the bulbs.

No problems as of now. i'll say.. you go to an accessory shop at around dusk and ask them to show a demo on your car. this way you'll also get to see how effective they are.

Be aware of the fakes. try to source from authorised philips dealer.

There are a few people here at Milan Subway, Santacruz and one at malad who sell these. Tell me which is suitable for you., i'll tak to them.

I feel the glare of white light full beam is too much of a distraction for the other driver against the traffic. I myslef have felt this as a driver. Whats the verdict.Can we have a good illumination at the same time being sensitive to the other drivers...

In India we don't have enough wide roads, so even headlights on lower beam also causes problem more often than not. Here, atleast in kolkata, the average road width is 30 ft. In wider roads (>40 ft) the full beam does not cause much glare to drivers coming from opposite directions. So until and unless the basic infrastructure improves this problem will remain.

For glare from the ORVMs, I think it will be helpful if they also come as anti-glare mirrors as a standard, specified by government.

If there is an option for driving in full beam u cannot stop anyone from using it. I have seen many aged drivers who can't see well until they drive i high beam.

its not that they cant see... the fact is they "think" they cant see.. add to it the fact that the traffic police doesnt really know the law regarding this.. even many youngsters like us finds innovative excuses to flout the rules,,, because in our land "sab chalta hai"

Ezee, how are your 100/90 Phillips Rally lights perfoming? Have you used it extensively, atleast driving 1 or 2 hours in the night continuosly? Has it caused any discolouration to the reflective material within the light assemly? Could you please post pictures of both the light assemblies?
Thank you.

White lights or yellow lights might be OK as per the RTO acceptance in your respective states. PLease check on those.

A word of caution and information on HID's though.
It is not possible to directly fit HID's on your car without modification of the carrier mechanism. The reason for this is

HID's are mandatorily (as a regulation) supposed to be used with Headlamp washers. This is because of the nature of white light, which tends to scatter in presence of debris, dust or other particles on the sirface of the headlamp cover which causes the light to scatter in all directions, making it difficult for drivers of oncoming vehicles.

Notice any manufacturer providing HID headlapms, and you will find that they provide headlamp washers as a standard fitment on those.

If anybody is providing you with HID headlamps and says you dont need any other changes, they you are inviting trouble for yourself because of lack of knowledge on the part of the fitter.
