Hmmm..
This is News for me Surya, something i guess most of the retailers as well dont know

Hmm ... have tried a new product on my car recently called "detailing clay". Actually it is meant for removing any remaining dirt particles from the car body which is left even after a thorough washing. Using it has certainly has brought back a high degree of smoothness to the car surface. (I didn't want to get the car polished so soon as it is just over a year old.)



What I did also notice was that the plastic headlight covers and the tail lights were not feeling as smooth as they used to and that they felt rough to touch and as Surya was saying the light was getting a little diffused because of the dirty headlights. No amount of washing was fixing this.

However by gently rubbing the wetted detailing clay over the plastic of the lights, they have become super-smooth and shiny! And I could see that there was actually a lot of dirt coming off the plastic onto the clay.

Links to the kind of product I am refering to...

for the headlights specifically, i want to know whether the hazy surface is on inside or outside. so far i felt it to be on inner surface of the headlight.

also let me know where can you actually buy this. is it available in accessory shops or in some hyper market from where it can be bought.

@Mir, if u find that hazy surface inside, please get your headlights replaced as this is covered under warranty i guess.. That is moisture or water seeping in the headlight!

Saumil, I want to fit xenon / hid on logan. which one you suggest. the present light is too insufficient to drive. i have replaced the original bulbs with higher capacity bulbs along with a wiring kit & bosch cut out, but of no help. pls guide.

Take into consideration your plastic headlight glass

This plastic / fibre headlight glass is not optimal. I have hazy surface inside both the headlights.
Just to mention i had to drive in heavy rains on Saturday night during which I had hell of problem related to road visibility. I had to cover some 25 kms highway to reach home. A need for additional lights apart from the headlights was badly felt. Apart from heavy rains under normal conditions headlights are good and generally enough.

I am planning to install Front fog lamps on my car by this year end.
Both for utility & the looks & appeal and i want it to work with the switch stalks mounted on the steering column.

I've seen pics in this forum istelf where there the job done was just about acceptable.

Any opinions??

Your headlights should not fog up from the inside ! this could be because they ahve a leak in the rubber round the back ..or even they must have some sort of vent to get rid of condensation .I will ask around

Hi,

I have changed the stock headlamp to Philips Extreme Vision last weekend.I got it for Rs 1100/-. The light is much better now, and the coverage is much better. I have checked the voltage and watt rating and found it to be the same as the stock lamp and the stock lamps are also from Philips.
There is also Philips Clear Vision but it will not fit into Logan as our bulbs are of H4 type whereas the clear vision is of H11 type.
However the light of Extreme vision is white compared to the stock lamp, however it is not a pure white light.

Hey Guys,

I was catching up on the posts on head lamps and saw some stuff on white lights.... just wanted to point out that in Roads and Highway lighting design, white light is always avoided in areas that get foggy conditions... i believe it's because of visibility issues... shouldn't the same apply for car head lamps ?

Hi,

Yesterday night I was driving on a very bad road with lot of dust around. The Philips Extreme Vision lamp has been very helpful and the light was excellent. The visibility has been very good, much better than the stock lamp.

With Regards,

Kaustuv.

I had fitted 90/100 bulb ( with cutout) and its light and brightness is very good. Those who want bright light or for highway driving should go in for the same.
