hi guys,

my company assigned me a 2008 altis 1.8 v and upon researching stock headlamps is HID (with manual levelling) - though I'm still not sure if the stock HID is still the one installed on the car The thing is, I just came from North Luzon, and upon traveling at night at SCTEX, I had a hard time seeing the road especially the parts with no lighting at all.

In your opinion, which should I go for?Philips Extreme or Osram Night Breakers Plus? or HID (which brand?)? I'll be travelling outside metro manila more often than not, and I heard you'll have a hard time seeing the road when using HID during heavy rain fall.

tia!

Based on my experience with 6000k HIDs, i have better vision during rainy days with it than stock halogens. Upgrading to NB+ or XV will surely improve your lighting if you're currently using halogens in your car.

The thing is with HIDs is that, you need to be a responsible user. Some reflector headlights can handle them, some cannot. If you stand in front of your car and get a face full of glare from your headlights, it is better to stick with halogens. Not everyone can afford a retrofit, so if you are planning to get HIDs, make sure you don't cause too much glare to other motorists.

If your car uses H4 bulbs, it is almost certain that when you switch to HIDs, it will have terrible cutoff. 9006 bulbs on the other hand, has a nice cutoff even with plug and play HIDs.

sir, i would suggest you get a retorfit from GaryQ for your low beams. pricey but well worth it if you can afford it. i dont think bolt on projectors will fit in the low beams of the altis. so the only other option for you is to replace the oem halogens with Phillips XV or Osram NB+, sigurado meron improvement ng 35% (as they claim). also, you can replace your hi beams with these bulbs. ganyan din yung xtrail ko with oem halogens, it was inadequate when i traverse the sctex at night. at first, i replaced it with high wattage high priced IPF halogens and replaced the sockets with ceramics. kaya lang ang bilis mapundi. halos 1 year lang. then i replaced it with HID bulbs, malakas tignan pero sabog ang nakaka silaw. so i replaced it with G3 bi-xenon projectors kasi cant afford retrofits. ayun, happy na ako sa buga ng ilaw at sa cut-off. di na nakaka silaw.

yung accord namion, di rin pwede bi-xenon projectors kaya replaced both lo and high beams with philips XV, better than the oem halogens.
