Only get HID upgrades if your headlights are properly retrofitted with projectors. Having said this, you can go with Osram Nightbreakers and Fogbreakers respectively. These are halogens and can make use of your existing headlight and foglight assemblies.

thanks sir *ssaloon, sorry di ako masyadong technical sa sasakyan ah? newbie kasi. pagkakaintindi ko, OSRAM brand gagamitin ko, NB for headlights ko at FB para sa fogs ko? ang tanong ngayon, diba may mga Kelvin-Kelvin pa yan sila na nalalaman? anong combination kaya maganda? balak ko kasi super yellow sa fogs ko para pag maulan, di mahirap sa kalsada at medyo yellowish (4300k) para maliwanag at pag di maulan ok sya.

it is laudable that TS is thinking of his safety.
i do hope that, when the time comes, the oncoming motorists are not blinded by his radiance.

hi sir *dr. d, the reason behind this is, though di malabo ang mata ko (20-20) vision pa naman, pag naulan kasi lalo't malakas, hirap sa kalsada ng stock na headlight gamit ko, wala pa akong fogs para sumuporta. di ko din naging ugali ang mag-HI ng ilaw ko especially pag salubungan ang kalsada...nahihiya kasi ako sa kasalubong ko at i respect them. sa amin, coming from Deparo Caloocan, going to Novaliches palabas ng Sauyo eh napakadilim ng mga kalsada, lalong hirap pa pag bumuhos ang malakas na ulan samahan mo pa ng foggy na windshield.

i understand, po.
my concern is, the upgrade may be advantageous to the upgradee, but its glare might be detrimental to the oncoming motorist.
i am simply wishing, that upgrades should also include proper shielding against glare, even if it is the more expensive way to go.

my theory is,
with standard bulbs, stray light ("glare") is too weak that oncoming motorists are not bothered by this stray light.
but once the light source is upgraded, the stray light becomes much stronger, and is now going to affect the oncoming motorist. in this instance, reflectors should also be upgraded, to "tame" the light beam into a tighter direction.

ang naiisip ko lang is, say i will upgrade my bulbs sa mas malakas na ilaw...siguro we just have to make sure na tama ang "tutok" ng ilaw at di nakakasilaw sa kasalubong na sasakyan. kung madami lang akong pera, sana nagprojector na ako..hahaha!

i have been driving for over 25 years.
and one thing i have to keep telling myself. "if you have to use your lights, it means you should also drive more slowly".
those roadway speed limit reminders on the road, are meant for bright daylight or ideal driving conditions.

Do you have tint on your front glass? If so, maybe you may opt to remove or choose a lighter shade given thta you said you have a hard time driving at night?

thanks so much sir *dr. d may makakapagrecommend ba dito ng shop na pwede kong pagawan ng HL at fogs ko? yung masasabing "responsible" owner ako pag nagsindi ako ng ilaw ko at may nakasalubong sa kalsada? thanks!
