    The slim ballasts are not as bright as the normal ballasts. Check the quality of the slim ballasts, usually by just seeing them you can judge its quality whats the cost of the slim ballasts there in hyd??? .

    I got a Raylux 6000K H7 for a friend with regular ballast for 5900 INR in Hyderabad with 1 Year Warranty. Is it a good deal? That shop keeper was ready to exchange the ballasts to the slim ones. But i was skeptical if the connectors would fit in the stock socket. But lower temperature wasnt available.
    Also some other brand named Numak H7 4300K with 1 Year Warranty was available for 6000 INR. Is it a good brand?

    They are the original Phillips. Comes with packaging, bills and from authorized dealers. But they would still be made in China, your PC if running on AMD or Intel, is made in China.. isn't it?

    It seems, coil is something no one can have enough of it Aren't we the spoilt lot, think about the lesser mortals who survive on 35W, normal reflector head lights!
    Ok understood..

    I somehow try to avoid china stuff wherever feasible. But still there is some doubt that creeps in.

    Yes we are.. More is never enough..

    Yes u can use. If your battery is fully charged then it would be fine. After testing mine on dual beam setup i wouldnt advice running at low rpms for long hours. If u have to run two 55W halogens for a long time, run at anything over 4.5k rpm. In stop and go traffic the battery will get low within a few hours.

    That sounds quite reasonable to me. Is the Philips one made in China or Germany?
    Is 4300K available in Raylux?

    example this is one company they have HIDs with all philips branding .
    HID China, hid bulb manufacturer, hid lights supplier, exporter--Taichang

    And this the company from where i import the Hids .
    AOQI HID

    Its not like i want to sell the product here .

    but to be frank all the hids are more or less of the same quality.I dint import the Philips brand HID because the company only said that their normal HIDs are all of good quality and are reliable. Don't waste your time in choosing. if you have the money grab the Philips and if you are looking for something reasonable you can always catch me

    I understood the whole concept. Its like when u are spending so much why not go for the one whose supplier is pretty famous and is in the business for a long time.

    Btw any special discounts for xBhpians?

    This a DiY mod. Requires minimum understanding of electronic circuit connections. It is very simple.
    U can give it a person who is sound in electricals. He may understand it well.

    Samples on discounted rates

    Exactly. 4.3K is hard to find as everyone thinks the bluish white is good, but in reality, they really dumps u on rain and fogs.

    Difference can be in packaging, wiring etc.

    But I have used Chineese ones for long.. and never had a problem with them.

    Phillips seems to be overpriced. BTW did they had normal Ballasts or slim?

    Good to hear that.

    You can also try using both beams and then use pass beam, when needed. Basically once the HID are heated up, you can use them as pass as well.

    There's no difference in light intesnisty, but from I experience I was see Chineese ones slowly loosing it's intesity. That takes about atleast 8K kilometers of riding.

    How do u do that? If the high beam is on how will the pass work?

    Originally posted by rahuldevnath View Post
    I would advice against, modifying much on 220, especially FI. Else change the wiring and remove the BCU, and get to manual.

    Phillips one are just 7~8K. I don't find them any great compared to Raylux. After all Phillips is also made in China, but much better quality. Genuine Bosch is better though.
