Only get HID upgrades if your headlights are properly retrofitted with projectors. Having said this, you can go with Osram Nightbreakers and Fogbreakers respectively. These are halogens and can make use of your existing headlight and foglight assemblies.

thanks sir *ssaloon, sorry di ako masyadong technical sa sasakyan ah? newbie kasi. pagkakaintindi ko, OSRAM brand gagamitin ko, NB for headlights ko at FB para sa fogs ko? ang tanong ngayon, diba may mga Kelvin-Kelvin pa yan sila na nalalaman? anong combination kaya maganda? balak ko kasi super yellow sa fogs ko para pag maulan, di mahirap sa kalsada at medyo yellowish (4300k) para maliwanag at pag di maulan ok sya.

it is laudable that TS is thinking of his safety.
i do hope that, when the time comes, the oncoming motorists are not blinded by his radiance.

hi sir *dr. d, the reason behind this is, though di malabo ang mata ko (20-20) vision pa naman, pag naulan kasi lalo't malakas, hirap sa kalsada ng stock na headlight gamit ko, wala pa akong fogs para sumuporta. di ko din naging ugali ang mag-HI ng ilaw ko especially pag salubungan ang kalsada...nahihiya kasi ako sa kasalubong ko at i respect them. sa amin, coming from Deparo Caloocan, going to Novaliches palabas ng Sauyo eh napakadilim ng mga kalsada, lalong hirap pa pag bumuhos ang malakas na ulan samahan mo pa ng foggy na windshield.

i understand, po.
my concern is, the upgrade may be advantageous to the upgradee, but its glare might be detrimental to the oncoming motorist.
i am simply wishing, that upgrades should also include proper shielding against glare, even if it is the more expensive way to go.

my theory is,
with standard bulbs, stray light ("glare") is too weak that oncoming motorists are not bothered by this stray light.
but once the light source is upgraded, the stray light becomes much stronger, and is now going to affect the oncoming motorist. in this instance, reflectors should also be upgraded, to "tame" the light beam into a tighter direction.

ang naiisip ko lang is, say i will upgrade my bulbs sa mas malakas na ilaw...siguro we just have to make sure na tama ang "tutok" ng ilaw at di nakakasilaw sa kasalubong na sasakyan. kung madami lang akong pera, sana nagprojector na ako..hahaha!

i have been driving for over 25 years.
and one thing i have to keep telling myself. "if you have to use your lights, it means you should also drive more slowly".
those roadway speed limit reminders on the road, are meant for bright daylight or ideal driving conditions.

From experience, yung tinitinda na fog lamps sa market at pure porma lamps only.

Kung pinaandar mo na, useless. Halos walang difference.

For your HL, stick to stock wattage. Yung HID plus reflector combo puro glare sa kasalubong. Kawawa naaman. Kahit anong adjust mo nyan, silaw kasalubong mo. Kapag tinutok mo naman pababa, silaw pa din sila pero ikaw walang makita.

Kapag mag HID ka, need mo muna palagay ng projectors para lahat ng ilaw nakatutok sa daan at hindi sa mata ng ibang motorista

About color temperature, AFAIK stock factory lamps are 4000k. Night breakers are around 4300k. The lower the number, more yellow. The higher number, mas maputi/bluish.

Mas visible ang 4300k na color temp. Yung mga 5000k and up, maputi na. Tried both 5000k and 6000k on my projectors. Di ko gusto. Puro shadow lang nakikita ko. Returned to 4300k
