    XTRM models use H4 bulbs. At what budget are we dealing with here? You can change it to HIDs that would cost you 20k-35k depending on the model and brand. Or opt for a cheaper solution to upgrade higher wattage H4 bulbs with PIAA, Hybrid, Osram, or Philips. Then add relays and ceramic sockets.

    Just stick at yellowish to whitish hues for colored bulbs, bluish hue bulbs don't perrform well on wet roads.

    lalo na sa NLEX

    better yet combine them with your fog lamps pag rainy days and asphalts

    H4 bulb prices vary depending on the color temp and brand that you choose, from P800.00-P5,000.00

    Yung mura na nakita at nagamit ko Raybrigs and Osram. Pinakamahal ang PIAA bulbs.

    puede rin kaya gumamit ng cheap H4 bulbs yun mga old model na rides like my sentra sgx 91.

    Basta ko lang ba ikabit sa bulb socket or kailangan ko pa dalin sa auto electrician para sa mga relay na sinasabi mo sir?

    same as kung magkakabit ako ng fog lights?

    Pwedeng pwede, H4 naman ang standard bulbs noon. Kahit yung ibang models ngayon meron pa rin gumagamit ng H4.

    Madali lang magpalit ng bulbs, turn to unlock or sometimes there is a spring latch that needs to be removed first before the headlight bulb. Ingat lang sa pagpalit na wag mahawakan ng daliri o kamay ang bulbs. Moisture and filament heat will definitely burn the glass and cause premature bust.

    Kung may alam ka naman sa electricals you can do it on your own and save the labor costs. Kung same wattage din naman ang gagamitin mo pwede na rin wag lagyan ng relays.

    The only "real" upgrade you can do with your headlights is to either go HID or upgraded wires+relays+higher wattage bulbs.

    A relay or wiring harness kit costs around 800-1k+. 100/90 watt H4 bulbs costs around 100+ to 200. Ceramic H4 sockets are around 250/pc.

    Madali lang magpalit ng H4 bulbs. DIY lang. With relay kits naman. If you can follow instructions, pwedeng DIY din.
