@ Sunil- Welcome to carwale. It indeed is a greate forum to brainstorm/ discuss to conclude on the best possible solutions. With so many experts in here this is one place to get most of your car related queries.

Coming to your concern, not sure what is the wattage for for your stock bulbs. IMO they should be 90/100 (H7). BTW they are usually written on the back of bulbs as well. If it is 90/100, then go for Philips Extreme Power. They are the best of the lot in terms on light and if you aren't specific about white light. I've seen them myself and they are quite good.

The only thing you will need to get it installed and see the effect before buying them since there are a lot of fakes in the market. try it is one headlight- compare with the other and see the difference. Check for the autorized Philps stores in Chandigarh.

also not sure if the high and low beam bulbs are different in Vista.

Doctor,

The compliments of the thread goes to Shashank. I would give you same suggestions as given to him. Do to an accessories shop. Ask them to give you a demo. That would do the trick.

I would recommend philips - Extreme vision, Vision Plus, Essential vision(I have this one). Try each one of them, then choose. The light offered is quite good. Osram(I think) also has some good bulbs. You night driving wont be an issue any more. I've driven my car on highways at the night. The Essential vision works fine. The visibility is quite satisfactory.

A suggestion: Please format your post a little. Avoid dots(...), Break the text to sentences and paragraphs. It would be helpful to others in reading. Also go through the Rules & Regulations.

@Ameen -> An update on my Crystal vision .. Though the light is decent enough what I've noted over the last couple of weeks is that on a long dark stretch of road, the spread of light (on low beam) isn't far enough i.e. it is good on almost the below part of road in front on my bumper and somewhat ahead but if i look ahead it is not too far and i have to switch to high beam most of the times. I have the HLLD in Accent and have set it to '0' which is the highest.

Any suggestions?

Nope- the only change has been the change of bulbs. Not sure if the orientation is an issue.

Most units iHID comes as 35W and 55W.

The 'whiteness' would depend on the kelvin temp(k value) and hence its subjective.

Personally wont advice over 6800K

The Accent will also have problem with loss of either the low or high beam after conversion.
