h4 BULB FOR AN OLD CAR

[djsaints35]

good day mga bossing!


Nissan sentra LEC 1998 ang sasakyan ko. yellowish na yung headlights at medyo malabo na rin and ilaw pag gabi pero bearable pa naman. nagpunta ako yesterday sa auto dynamics da fairview. nakita ko na they sell bulbs for headlights. nung una they offered to clean the headlight for 1thou, pero nung nakita nung gagawa, sabi nila hindi na daw pwede linisin kasi yellowish na. nag offer sila ng H4 bulb na super yellow. maganda daw yun pag umuulan at doble ang wattage compared sa bulb na gamit ko ngayon. so technically doble ang liwanag daw. maglalagay din daw sila ng bosch relay. yung isang installer sabi 2 relay, yung isa naman ang sabi pwede na daw ang isa.

ang tanong ko po:

may malaki bang difference ang pagpalit ng bulb na may double wattage?
safe ba yun? ( baka masunog ang kotse ko
wala bang issue ang bagong bulb in terms of throw ng ilaw? (baka kasi scattered yung light, useless lang din)
ilang relay ang gagamitin?

MARAMING SALAMAT PO IN ADVANCE

Pwedeng linisin yung yellowish na headlights. On our 1994 JX with the plastic headlights, when i wax the car, i also wax the headlights and i noticed nawawala yung pagka-yellowish. Try buying a headlight lens polish from ACE or Handyman and try it on your headlights lens first.

On upgrading your headlamps, try searching the other threads here for the topics on Osram Nightbreaker, Philips bulbs, etc.

maraming salamat for answering. nabasa ko nga rin sa ibang thread na may DIY na headlight cleaning. try ko muna linisin.
nagpalagay kasi ako ng tint kahapon kaya bigla ko naisip na baka kailangan ng mas magandang headlights.

hehe

thanks!

Nagpa headlight cleaning ako kahapon sa banawe. Linaw ng ilaw now kahit stock bulbs lang.

sir kung doble ang wattage sa stock mo...

susunugin ang sockets ng H4 Bulb mo.. pati fuse mo maapectuhan din...

better to change your sockets with ceramics....

tama si Doc otep... malinis na headlight lang ang katapat nyan with stock headlight bulbs....

if hindi mo na talaga malinis ng mabuti... much better kung mag palit ka nalang ng headlight kahit surplus....

Susunod na kami dyan (para sa 07 Altis).

sir djsaint, if you can post pictures of your headlight, members here can advise you better if kaya pa ng linis yan or kelangan ng palitan.

about the bulb with 2x wattage, did that before sa kotse ko, from 55w/60w, nilagyan ko ng 100w/110w and replaced the sockets with ceramics plus 2 relay for each side. malakas talaga buga versus the stock pero less than a year pundido na. i replaced it with a IPD halogens na mamahalin, ayun, ganun din, didnt last more than a year from daily use of about 1 hour.

if malinis mo yang lens, then i suggest mag osram NB+ or philps Extreme Vision ka na lang. Plug and play lang with 35% improvement. mura pa.

IMO
stay in stock wattage, nung pinalitan ko yung ride ko ng higher wattage light same color (yellow)
prang wala din difference sa buga, pra pa ngang bumigat yung load nung alt.
so binalik ko nalang yung stock wattage.

if gusto mo talaga higher wattage, tama yung post sa taas,
use ceramic socket. may plug and play naman na ganyan,
hindi katulad before na kelangang splice pa, DIY lang.

re headlights:
kung OEM pa yung headlights and nanilaw na sa katandaan,
if hindi naman nagpapawis sa loob/ walang tagas, hindi ko na papalitan,
id rather clean it, cleaner wax pwede itry, but if hindi na kaya ng cleaner wax, or
walang cleaner wax, rubbing compound na, basta dahan dahan lang,
para lang maalis yung top layer na naninilaw, then good as new ulit yan.

Sir magkano price range ng Philips Extreme Vision? Sa blade or ace hardware ba meron niyan? or mas makakamura ako kung sa mga auto shop ako bibili?

Same kami ng prob ni TS. Pero yung sakin hindi pa naman sobrang dilaw. sinubukan ko ng linisan ng colgate, medyo nagbago pero hindi ganun kalaki ang nalinis.

Medyo gusto kong dagdagan yung buga ng ilaw ko since hirap kapag gabi.

dagdag ko pala na tanong ano ba ang stock wattage ng sedan? Sentra B14 yung sakin..

salamat

[djsaints35]

Maraming maraming salamat mga sir sa mga advice nyo. Kinakabahan din ako dun sa pag palit ng bulbs. Nung narinig ko na aside from the bulb kailangan pa ng relay, medyo nagduda na ako na baka may ibang parts na masunog. Dami pa naman kotseng nasusunog ngayon although baka iba naman ang cause, pero mabuti na ang mag-ingat!

Try ko muna linisin ang headlights ko or baka papalit ko na lang sa mekaniko ng sarplus. Simpleng car wash lang kasi alam ko pagdating sa DIY.

Salamat po ulit

[djsaints35]

Kung madaling mapundi, huwag na nga lang talaga. Kasi sa 13 years nung sasakyan, mga twice or thrice palang ako nag papalit ng bulb. Sa pagkakaalala ko, mura lang ang palit nung.

Yung qoute sa akin para bulb at relay 1thousand agad. Alam ko mahal yun pero hindi ako tumawad kasi balak ko talaga mag research mo tungkol sa ilaw. Buti na lang matutulungin mga tsikoteers!

[yourman_2nd]

try mo iDIY sir. bili ka ng sand paper na #2000 from paint shops. yan ang gamitin mo pag rubbing ng lens mo. since glass naman headlights mo, tamang tama yan. basta light rubbing lang and always dip in water while rubbing the lens. dont worry when the lens turn hazy. ibig sabihin effective pag raubbing mo. after matanggal yung yellowish portion, rub it again using scratch remover with microfiber(meron mumurahin scratch remover sa blade or ace, effective naman ito). after much rubbing with this scratch remover, you'll be amazed how clean, shiny and clear ulit ang headlight lens mo.

upgrade to ceramic sockets then add 2 relays. clean your lens.
go for bosch all weather 100/90w or stock wattage osram all season 60/55w

[djsaints35]

Sir, kung stock wattage na osram, kailangan ko pa ba ng relay and ceramic socket or tatanggalin lang yung old buld tapos papalitan lang?

Thanks in advance

[yourman_2nd]

sir as long you retain the original wattage of the oem bulbs, kahit anong brand, plug and play lang, no need to replace sockets and install relays. so better clean the lens first and install the osram NB+ or philips XV for brighter and longer beams without the hassle of modifying the sockets and installing relays.

AFAIK this model has H4 headlight bulbs ... or do I stand corrected?

You can source fresh surplus headlight assemblies at banawe or evangelista. Mura lang naman siguro yun, then have your original headlights refurbished .. and set aside as a spare pair.

[renzo_d10]

55w/60w din.

Usually mas mura sa autoshop. Pwede ka pa mambarat este tumawad

Salamat sir.

To all,

Na try ko 55w na H1 and H11 ng circuit, mas malakas sha kesa stock bulbs from casa. Hindi ko lang sure sa H4. Best part is, mura sha and as long as 55w, hindi ka magkaka problem.

Sir pag ng 90W po ako, need ko magupgrade ng wiring and ceramic socket.
Any idea HM total cost ng upgrade?
