    Hi mga Mam and Sirs, we are planning to buy a 2018 Honda City E CVT, pero since wala pa siya sa amin, to be shipped pa, wala pa kaming manual. I am planning on replacing the headlights, tail lights, brake lights and license plate lights with LED bulbs, so I am asking the experts here kung ano po yung lightbulb types ng Honda City E CVT para ma order ko na po sila in advance para pag dating ng tsikot eh kabi na agad. Thanks!

    PS: Did some research from a portuguese manual of the 2016 City , eto yung lumabas, not sure though:

    Headlight Low: H11
    Headlight High: HB3
    Tail light: 21W - type not mentioned
    Brake light: 21W/5W - type not mentioned

    Patulong po sana!

    I just like how LEDs look, specially sa headlights. For me, yellow headlights make the car look dated. As for the brake and tail lights, LEDs have faster response times, meaning they light up faster than halogen ones, very useful when braking suddenly. And finally, LEDs draw much less power than halogen bulbs. Hindi sya nag didim kung underload ang engine when idle, kase ang load sa alternator and batteries mo is lesser than when using halogen bulbs.

    google the pros and cons of LED plug-n-play replacements.
    you might change your mind.

    bottomline. may nakakasilaw na headlights.

    Just make sure tama pa rin yung cutoff. Karamihan kasi ng reflector halogen housing, halogen bulbs lang din tinatanggap. Marami kasi ako nakikita parang naka highbeam yun pala pinalitan yung low ng LED sa reflector. Mas maganda magparetrofit ng projector kaya lang mahal.

    If you want to go LED's , look for Philips Xtreme Ultinon. Pricey but worth it. Beam pattern is excellent and is almost "OEM". I ordered mine from Amazon Japan (about 7.5k PHP / 15k JPY).

    Nag LED ako because I wanted "white" light and I got tired of replacing my park lights every now and then (bilis mapundi). I went LED's on my park lights first but hindi bagay sa halogen H4 na yellowish, so I went ahead changed my headlights as well to white LED's.

    Agree for the multi sided LEDs.

    I suggest to use premium Halogen bulbs like Philips X-treme Vision or Osram Night Breaker Unlimited.
