![]() My experience with HID has been with Baleno (extensively, I have driven other cars with LED/HIDs but for short duration only). I have always thought along the same lines. A picture from the article that summarizes the car light technology. And what about number of lights? The Duster adventure addition came with 8 bulbs upfront! (Including high/low beams)Īutocar had an article on same and link can be found here. While 55/60W is legal output for Halogens, Is there something similar for HID’s/LED’s? I know they need much lesser power to generate similar output as halogens, but the intensities vary across cars. ![]() So here goes my query, what is the best recipe to make those fantastic lights that look good and also serve the purpose?Īnother related query I have is w.r.to output. To me, it appears - just a good bulb is insufficient to provide good illumination but a car needs well designed headlamps, reflectors etc. I have stock halogens in my Innova 2008 model and always found them to be more than adequate –be it in highway/city. While the LED’s/HID’s are bright enough to blind the oncoming traffic, they don’t seem to serve the purpose of providing satisfactory illumination. Despite the newer technologies one thing I hear is, "The lights are inadequate"! Examples are a plenty- The Fortuner(Full LED), Octavia(LED?), Scross(HID) to name a few. What has changed dramatically is availability of these technology even in the price bracket of 6lacs (READ: Ignis). Over past few years we have seen advent of newer technologies like HID’s, LED’s and Laser. For over 2-3 decades Halogens have been the main stream lighting technology that was offered in most of the cars.
