hi gaurav.

welcome to carwale.

as of for ur lights i would suggest in existing lights change the bulb, take out the existing bulb & fit 100/90, or 100/130 bulbs which are very much powerful. i dont think it would be a good idea to fit those extra lights as it will consume more power. if u want to fit than u can or else these bulbs will be enough.

Hii Deepam !!

Thanks a lot for your advice !!!

I guess this headlight is a problm with Zen Estilo.. one frnd of mine is also having th same issue and I myslf hav noticed that most of the estilos dnt hav that bright lights as other cars on road, lik wagonR, santro etc...

nywz..as you suggested to go for 100/90 or 100/130 bulbs, which brand is good in these? coz last time i visited an accessory shop, he showed one of those "white light" bulbs.. Rs.450 for a pair.. even gave me a demo by puttin thm in my car but i didnt find any big diffrence in th light...

i use my car to commute to offic daily.. (almost 25 kms from one side) and often go on long night drives.. thats y i was thinkin to get those extra lamps.. though i have noo idea about how do they effect the perfrmnce of th car as such... can u plz tell me smthng more bout this !!!

Thanks again for ur suggestions !!

 

no gaurav dont put those white bulbs as their quality is not that good & not produce that much light. if u want to go for white lights than go for the full xenon kit which is costly & just of show not much of use spending that much money. just go for 100/90 or 100/130 bulbs which are more than powerful & the brands u can opt for are philips & bosch. & dont forget to fit a extra cut out for that bulbs. i have opted for philips bulbs in my car & they are really very powerful.

Okkay !! I read somewhere also that Philips Vision Plus or Crystal Vision are good options... Xenon HID kit is too costly and more over i guess it cant be fitted in Zen estilo..

So it seems 100/90 or 100/130 bulbs will be a good choice for me !!

Thanks a lot buddy !!! I was really confused.. specially after seeing those useless types white bulbs

thanks !!

 

just fit those philips bulbs with cut out & just make ur lightbeam get adjusted by expert for the best & wider view on road, i think ull be happy with this much  &will get best lights.

Sure... i am planning to go to the shop today evening itself....

one thing i forgot to ask was.. what is this "cut out" we are talking about?
how do i knw if the bulbs are with cutout or not ???

bulbs do not come with cut out, u have to buy it as a additional accessory for it, it comes like a small box (small dabbi). as of these bulbs are very powerful, cut out will give it a balanced power to it & will glow very efficiently & due to the high voltaage the current will be taken by the cut out & the bulbs will not be damaged & main reason for the cutout is that due to the bulbs are of high voltage cutout will give them more effective balance of power without giving any strain to the bulb. & cutout doesnt cost much, it will come around 30 to 50rs.

Thanks Boss !!!
