Headlight + fog lights color combo

[BratPAQ]

Ano ba maganda for color combo? I currently have Philips xv as headlight balak ko sana papalit fog light na narva all weather yung yellow. Maganda sana tignan kaso ang main objective ko eh yung visual. Dumadaan kasi ako sa Molino Blvd na No street light + asphalt + ng gabi + maulan = low visibility. So tingin ko kailangan all weather din headlight. Or pwede nang yellow headlight and white fog light? Or mas maganda pareho yellow?

Best would be 4300k color on both HL and FL. ung all weather parang useless. parang blurry ung nakikita mo at di maganda ang light throw compared to a 4300k or stock color bulbs. Not even in foggy weather, mas ok pa ang 4300k.

Kapag 4300k po ba puro HID or mayroon din halogen?tia

[confused shoes]

Osram NBP is around 3900K or lower and Philips XV is even lower.
Osram Cool Blue Intense is about 4200K
Philips Crystal Vision is 4300K

Yup, true 4300K bulbs are HID's. 4300K halogen bulbs are coated with a tint, so their light output is actually weaker than regular halogens.

To *BratPAQ, if you're going with the halogen route, just use your current bulbs for headlamps and the narva all weather for foglamps. But don't expect massive improvements over your current setup.

But if you're going for the HID route, go for 4300K HID bulbs on headlamps on PROPER projectors. Your light output on any weather would improve 2-3x over your current setup. As for your foglamps, just get the halogen all weathers or keep the stock setup. You won't need them often in a proper HID projector setup. They're really costly, but they are more worth it than buying and trying out different bulbs and lights setup just to improve output.

Source: guy who tried almost everything on the market to improve light output. I've tried osram nightbreakers, all weathers, those halogen bulbs with different colors, 3000K halogens on headlamps, 8000K HID's one headlamps, etc.) But my current setup, 4300K HID's on projectors and narva all weathers on foglamps work best for me on any weather.

4300k sa low beam tas 3000k sa foglight

4300K on low beam and 3000K on fog lamps and all weather on high beams. You may say parang xmas lights because of the different colors but they serve a purpose well. 3000K penetrate fogs compared with 6000K especially on HID. Also, when driving under foggy and smoggy conditions, never ever use you high beams! Many silly people from the metro do this when they are in Tagaytay or Baguio. You won't see a thing beyond 3 meters if you use High beam at foggy/smoggy weather.

OK thanks mga boss 4300k sa low beam and 3000k sa fog light. Any specific product?

About high beam I rarely use it, especially sa low visibility, di ko alam kung mali pagkamit ko ng Philips XV or ganun talaga yung XV, parang diretso sya at di tumatama sa lupa.

Philips XV sa aking Grand Vitara low beam H7. Maliwanag kahit sa espalto. Try mo kaya i-adjust ang beam. Baka masyado mataas.

4300K headlights and 3000K fogs. That should give you some contrast vs a single color only.

it is important to note that in lighting perfomance, the output in lumens and the color temperature of the light source goes hand in hand. You would be looking at an incomplete picture if you address only the color temp if you want to improve the output. Philips CV 4300K?? halogen bulbs are coated blue to make it more white but I am 100% sure it so much inferior to a 4300k HID bulbs. Why? output in lumens, Philips CV = around 1300-1400 lumens, HID bulb, =3,200 lumens. Of course one has to use the proper reflectors for the HID bulb. If you have XV on your headlights and stock bulbs on fogs, I don't see any big jump on lighting performance if you will change the fog bulbs with yellow bulbs but DONT install white bulbs as white light gets absorbed by black surfaces. Cheapest solution is to get light tint.
