Changing Headlight

[cjtjamandra]

Mga bro balak ko magpalit ng headlight, yung present headlight ko eh yung OEM na dilaw. Mahina na kasi kapag gabi. Kapag ba magpapalit ako ng puting bulb eh may gagalawin pa ba sa mga circuit? baka kasi di kayanin ng battery. hehe wala kasi ako talagang idea. tsaka may nakita kasi ako sa honda casa na warning about changing headlight, may image ng sunog na circuits.

civic lxi 96 pala tsikot ko.

[mikhailer]

you just have to change the bulb. may mga sizes yan pero for honda 96 lxi if im not mistaken H4 ang sukat nyan. bili ka ng super white or halogen dami nyan sa auto supply

[woohoo]

As long as you stick with the same wattage (and same bulb-type [H4?], of course ), there should be no problem.

Don't touch the lighting end of the bulb, though. Stick to the metallic/bottom portion when handling bulbs.

Good luck!

kaya ring i-DIY yan. Thing is, you have to get stock wattage bulbs, and AVOID touching the bulb.

There are very good lighting options from Philips, Osram and Narva.

pwedeng yung mga superwhite or yung mga all-weathers (personally I have all-weather lights. great when it's raining, and adequate pag may fog)

don't go for the 95/100w lights (pwedeng malusaw reflectors mo), and the worst: HID's without projectors (mumurahin ka ng lahat ng kaharap mo, wala pang silbe pag ulan)

Another option is you can have your headlights cleaned, kung madumi na yung salamin at reflector, malaking bagay talaga nagagawa ng headlight cleaning. Pwede mo na ring ipainstall sa gagawa nun yung new bulbs kung feel mo hindi mo kaya ilagay.

Sasabihin ko lang kapag bibili na H4? alam na nila yun? o may sukat pa ba? pero yung stock HL ba ng honda e dilaw talaga yung ilaw? parang di pa naman madumi yung salamin ko eh kaya baka palit ilaw muna. mahal kasi palinis 1k plus ata. mga magkano pala yung H4 na headlight?

If your plan is to buy in Banawe, go to Perfect Cirle. They're selling Philips H4 bulbs. Get the Weathervision 60/55W. It's best for dry and wetroads. I think Blade sells Philips too approx P2000 for the pair.

FYI, HIDs work best on dry cement roads but not on asphalt. You just can't see anything. But if you like HID, get the 4300-4500Kelvin rating.

pag sinabi mong h4, isang klase lang yan. yan ang socket type niya. civic lxi ba kamo sasakyan mo? h4 yan, walang duda...

sa totoo lang, changing headlights/headlamps eh hindi nakakatakot yan at kahit bata, kayang gawin yan. sort of marketing lang ginagawa ng honda para sa kanila ka magpapalit ng ilaw. wala ka naman gagalawin sa electricals mo AS LONG NA STOCK WATTAGE ang kukunin mo. ibig sabihin niyan, buy a H4 bulb having a rating of 60/55 watts. oh, don't buy super whites o super blue bulbs, just buy the normal ones. all weather bulbs would to and bulbs having color temperature of 4300k.

my suggestion kung anong bulb? there's philips xtreme power, narva all weather, osram nightbreaker

Double post

FYI:
One of the biggest giveaways that a car uses H4 headlight bulbs is that both the low beam and high beam are on the same bulb.

As people have said there are good lighting options, even if you stick to the stock 60/55W wattage. Here's a list of the pretty good ones.

Yellowish to white:
OSRAM Silverstar
OSRAM All-Season
Narva All-Season Yellow
Wurth All-Season

White:
OSRAM Nightbreaker
Philips Extreme Power

Only if you have the money to spend:
Polarg Yellow

FYI again: The brighter a halogen bulb, the shorter its lifespan.

the headlights mentioned above cost around 1k per pair.

and yes, yung OEM headlights are slightly yellow, as yellow lights penetrate deeper into rain and fog.

the all-weathers are even "yellower", but not as yellow as dedicated fog lamps

if you will use a higher wattage bulb than stock, also change your sockets to ceramics.

thanks sa info. socket type pala yung H4. balle 60/55w ang dapat na wattage. Siguro Philips weathervision na lang bibilhin ko, kaso ang mahal pala P2000 may mas mura pa kaya?. White ba kulay nun? yung range kaya ng projection niya ok lang? gusto ko kasi agad makita kung may lubak na paparating eh. yung stock headlight kasi parang wala akong ilaw kapag nasa sctex ako. hehe nagugulat na lang ako sa lubak kasi bago ko makita nasa harapan ko na.

Kindly read my post...

Most of the bulbs I listed are PhP1000-1100 for a pair. The Narvas are the cheapest of the bunch at PhP400 a pair.

sa tingin mo bro ano mas ok osram o philips? magkano pala kuha mo nung philips?

[testament11]

osram nightbreaker din gamit ko before ako nagpa-retrofit ng headlamp. kung ako tatanungin, maganda ang NB kasi pansin ko na malayo ang throw ng ilaw niya at mas maputi ng konti sa OEM
