OSRAM P43t 100/80W

[Engr]

mabilis ba mapundi ito? binigyan kasi ako last 1Q 2004, then before mag end 2004, napundi driver side so pinalitan. then kanina nung pauwi ako, passenger side naman. sayang, gustong gusto ko pa naman lakas ng ilaw nito, maliwanag kahit tinted windshield ko and ang lakas ng bright, perfect for out of town trips.

all stock pa rin ang wiring harness at socket ko, no added relays. ito kaya ang cause or sa bulb lang talaga? Adventure gas pala auto ko.

thats weird, genuine osram h4s are very durable, umaabot pa nga ng 5 yrs yan. di kaya fake yan or the bulb was improperly handled like touching the glass part

[afrasay]

check mo din connectors mo. baka may loose connections. matibay talaga ang osram o as blue said baka fakekis yan nabili mo.

bigay lang ito sa akin ng kakilala ko na may shop sa del monte ave. napundi kasi yung low beam ng stock bulb (passenger side) ko kaya nagpunta ako doon. sabi niya, ito daw yung pinakamalakas na Osram na hindi fake. yung tao na rin niya nagkabit. and parehong low beam lang yung napundi, so malamang hindi nila nahawakan yung glass part.

paano ba malalaman kung fake ang Osram or not?
and bakit laging low beam ang napupundi? may problem kaya sa electrical ko? paano din po i check?

[Engr]

posted some pics, can someone here say if they are fake or not? thanks.

[BlueBimmer]

well they look genuine...at least the packaging looks like genuine osrams..

[BlueBimmer]

btw packaging looks worn/old, di kaya old stock n mishandled yan.

Unless you are absolutely sure that the glass part of the bulb was never touched most likely the bulbs were mishandled, possibly leaving some oils from someones fingers on the glass part which led to their premature failure.

when you upgrade bulbs, doesn't it follow that you have to at least add relays?

[ghosthunter]

unless your stock headlight bulbs were 100/80 watts, you might benefit installing relays.

I have had my car's headlight bulbs upgraded to 100/80watts with bosch relays. No problems encountered (yet).

yup, early 2004 pa kasi nabili yung box sa left side. late 2004 nabili yung sa right. dati nasa ilalim ng front passenger seat tapos ini-stock ko lang sa store room kaya siguro ganyan itsura.

please look at the pics. walang fingerprints doon sa glass part. kaya nagtataka ako kung bakit napundi yung low beam.

gaano katagal na yung bulb mo? 60/55W ang stock ko. sabi kasi ng friend ko, hindi na raw kailangan ng relay. tapos nung nagpalit ako recently ng bulb, tinanong ko yung nagkabit kung bakit kaya nasira, tinignan niya yung stock wires, sabi niya makapal naman so malamang daw sa bulb talaga.

ano nga kaya? kailangan ba talaga ng relay kung nag upgrade ako sa 100/80W?

[BlueBimmer]

i upgraded the stock 60/55W bulbs in our Gen1 and Gen2 V, also on the cefiro and bimmer (H7 55W to 100W)to 100/80W bulbs, never bothered adding any relays or any modification. never had any problems whatsoever.

I've had it for two years.

assuming your stock bulbs were 60/55 watts, if you use 100/80watts bulbs it would mean the stock wiring will be handling 40% more power than they were designed for. That might result in some heating up and smoldering in the medium to long run.

sir question... diba H7's ang bulb ng adventures?

nag H4 osram 80/100 ako last week.. namatay yung right side.. kala ko napundi, busted lang pala yung 10Amp na fuse ..change it to 15Amp and now ok ...

[afrasay]

may built-in relay naman talaga yun stock setup. check your terminals baka nag me- melt na yun plastic. Use ceramic connectors mas matibay ito.

kaya pala napundi agad kc natagtag yng bulbs under the front passenger seat. sana tinago mo na lng sa isang cabinet sa bahay.

yes sir, yng wire going to the filament ang naputol. cause nito is either nabagsak yng bulb or natagtag ng husto.

ako nagdadala lng ng spare headlight bulbs kung may out of town trips ako. kung city driving lang, iniiwan ko sa bahay yng bulbs.
