agree with Helly, kung may fog lights ang City mo, lagyan mo ng Polarg pure yellow. ganun sa FD ko. 2,800 lang bili ko sa autoline makati.

sa FD ko, 6000K sa lo beam tapos pure yellow fogs. next, pure yellow hi beam :evillaugh

salamat, i will try to consider your suggestions ... okay din pala yung polarg pure yellow pwede naman yan sa honda city 1.5 dba? babagay po ba yan sa polished metal na color ng city 1.5? does this mean okay lang na hindi na ko mag HID magpapalit na lang ako ng headlight bulb? ano po pala difference ng stock headlight bulb na nasa city 1.5 compared sa Philips X-treme Power or Osram Night Breaker?? thank you ulit...

I think the City's foglight is using H11 bulbs. If I'm correct, then Polarg Pure Yellow is available for it (it also comes in HB4, H1, H3 and H4 sizes). Kung babagay man or hindi, I think that's subjective. Some people (like me) like the looks of yellow fogs, yung iba naman kasi mahilig sa white/bluish light.

does this mean okay lang na hindi na ko mag HID magpapalit na lang ako ng headlight bulb? ano po pala difference ng stock headlight bulb na nasa city 1.5 compared sa Philips X-treme Power or Osram Night Breaker?? thank you ulit...

The '09 City still uses reflectors so the problem with putting HIDs without retrofitting projectors is the tendency for the light to be scattered rather than projected properly on the road. I'd say 95% of the time nakakasilaw talaga sa kasalubong pag naka-HIDs with reflectors lang. You can minimize the glare by aiming the headlights lower but that kinda defeats the purpose of having HIDs in the first place. Maliwanag nga pero in a very short distance lang.

Sayang naman if you spend money on an HID kit tapos sobrang glare pala (unless wala kang pakialam sa mga kasalubong mo). Takaw aksidente yan, baka masagi ka pa ng kasalubong mo dahil sa sobrang silaw.

Philips XP and Osram NB are much brighter than stock halogen bulbs. Their beams are wider and reaches out further. You don't even have to install relays and ceramic sockets since stock wattage pa rin sila. Totally plug and play. Disadvantage is the shorter bulb life compared to stock bulbs, pero sulit pa rin 'coz you really can't put a price on safety.

Kung gusto mo pure yellow na rin ilagay mo sa Headlights. ganyan yung everest ng classmate ko eh. polarg pure yellow sa headlights at fogs. ang result, walang bulag sa ulan. ganda ng output.

Stay away from halogen bulbs with bluish light, they're pretty much useless during rainy conditions. Yellowish light is best for cutting through rain and fog. The exception to this is the Osram NB. Whiter/bluer than stock but doesn't really detract from the performance due to its design. Check out this link for a good review/discussion re: Osram NB: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2139371

I highly recommend that you just go with Philips XP or Osram NB for the headlights and Polarg or Euroline (much cheaper than Polarg) Yellow for the foglights.

As for the damage sa ilalim ng car mo, depende kung saan sumayad eh. Taga-Binondo ako and I know the McDo you're talking about, medyo pataas nga yung parking niya, dapat dahan-dahan lang pag aatras ka na paalis. Usually scratches lang yan sa underbody and/or the muffler, although minsan nagagasgasan din yung ilalim ng rear bumper.

wag kang gagamit ng bluish white sa fog lamps. lalong mawawalan ng kwenta yan. about euroline naman, mas maganda yung Solarzen. sa euroline, napuputukan ako ng fuse. twice na. kaya nag Polarg na ako.
