headlight bulbs

[mazdamazda]

question...

wouldn't using bulbs rated higher than the standard ones blind / glare incoming traffic (in low beam).

I've seen a few of these... and they are just VERY annoying (those in high beam).

i'm replacing mine kasi emdyo talo talaga when raining or in asphalt roads. d naman yung parang mga halogen na super nag-a-attract ng attention :D

feeling pogi lang yung mga yon. dinaan nalang sa light bulbs

[hondacivic_vtis]

Ako gamit ko Polarg ok naman sya medyo mahal nga lang

I have been doing quite some searching and learned that Raybrig is made by Stanley, which makes most OEM bulbs and headlights/brakelamps etc.

Interesting... So I would assume that Raybrig is a very good brand, however from what i've read it seems to be quite expensive.

Check this link also if you are planning to buy some aftermarket bulbs other than Philips, Osram/Sylvania.

ang tanong....tama ba ang aim ng headlights nila(we'll never know...)?even low wattage bulbs can be very annoying kung mali ang tutok ng headlights....

nababago ba ung aim?

may nakita kasi akong city nung isang araw... ampucha... nasa likod ko na at ang layo eh nasisilaw pa rin ako. sakit sa mata.

Sir Glennster, I heard that Narva is not as bright as stock bulbs under normal driving conditions (assuming both are 60/55) but will become brighter when the weather is bad and when you are driving in asphalt. Is this true?

sir, the general rule is, there is a very minute difference sa visibility nilang dalawa.GIVEN THE SAME WATTAGE (eg 100 watts awb and 100watts stock color) STOCK will always give slightly BRIGHTER light.pero konti lang naman ang difference...pero obvious.

but yeah...mas ok siya sa umuulan na gabi at nasa mejo dark ground ka.yellow-ish light doesnt bounce off and disperse in water as much as whiter lights.

as far as i know..yep.yung mga cars namin nababago ang aim.yung vitara inadjust ko na kasi kahit naka low beam, daming nagmumura sa kasalubong ko.tiningnan ko..naka aim pala talaga sa mukha ng kasalubong.hihihihihihihi

[akuma]

Me too. Big differene from my stock lamp IMO.

pwede po ba ito sa 2k honda civic vtec?(philips visionplus)
pundido na kasi yung samin eh... thanks...

IMO, most of the glare is caused by:
- improper aiming
- Headlight design (usually Honda Civic/CRV ang napansin ko), they produce more glare to oncoming traffic even on low beam with stock bulbs.
- Surplus headlights designed for RHD ---> they carry a beam pattern opposite of what we have.
- naka bright lagi talaga (usually Galant, Accord at Starex ang napansin ko na ganito)... with running fog lights pa.

Question. The ALTIS and CRV Gen2 Foglamps seem to be useless. Why is this so? or mali lang talaga ang aim ng Foglamps ko?

kung yan yung parang flourescent white ang beam....mag stock ka na lang (yellow)...ma-porma lang tignan pero very poor ang visibility sa asphalt lalo sa heavy rainfall...

i think they r purposely aimed low ata

Hmm, baka naman dahil mas maliwanag din kasi yung bulbs ng mga yan. Accord kasi sakin, pero wala naman ako napapansin na nasisilawan. Yun lang nga stock pa rin yung lights ng sakin. Baka pag napalitan ng aftermarket madagdagan yung glare....

Most of my driving is at night, pansin ko talaga na madaming vehicles ang medyo malakas ang glare, pero sa iba wala, cguro nagupgrade ng bulbs to 80/100 watts yung mga yun, o di kaya malabo rin mata ko... hehe

[silhouette]

where do you usually purchase your bulbs, lalo kung wala sa parts dealer? yung store na complete when it comes to bulbs...

[Ungas]

nababago ba ung aim?...

Yes, from adjusting rim/tire size, modifying ride height, even minor screw blunders with the headlight assembly could adjust and misalign the beam pattern.

I know one tsikoteer who got his ride straight from the dealer with misaligned headlights. He did brought it back to have it fixed, but the dealer said it was in normal alignment, even though oncoming traffic was flashing bright everytime.

Question. The ALTIS and CRV Gen2 Foglamps seem to be useless. Why is this so? or mali lang talaga ang aim ng Foglamps ko?

Their main purpose is to aid main headlight beam. Not as fog lamps, hence called or referred to as auxiliary driving lamps.

Re-adjusting the beam would either blind on coming traffic or perform less light than it has now. Based form experience with headlights & bulbs, as long as the assembly is small, don't expect too much light to come out of it. Even switching higher wattage bulbs won't help either.

sana pina-overtake ninyo yung city, then pwesto sa likod nya at mag-high beam

[bougartt]

Oh, oopsies Thanks sir ungas, bluebimmer.
I have no idea how to quote here, baguhan ako dito

So its better off for me to install those Hella Foglamps than use these Auxilary lamps?
