Check my new video covering all lights and new shop where I got better pricing
After watching your video finally I upgraded head light and FOG lamp of my car to LED 4300K.The visibility on road is much much better compared to white colour lights. It is observed that LED shop owners don't tell all these details and almost every one was offering 6000k to 6500k white LEDs. After requesting only the Shop owner gave me 4300k LED light. It was very surprising to me. Thanks Mr. Jay D for making a honest review and finally we are benefited. God bless you always.😊😊😊🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Anil . Fun fact - 6000k/6500k are cheaper to produce and hence profit margins bigger for mfg and dealers - hence the push and also we as customers also sometimes are less informed .
But really happy that you made the right choice
Thanks for this video. Will be getting delivery of Honda city in January.
Congrats in advance
Finally aan educated and responsible driver. Everyone else from India in youtube is like ...
Lots of ...vai vai vai... dosto dosto ... and all about watts and showing useless white light in dark stretch where even my cabin light looks like bright sun in the sky lol.
Lolz thanks 🙏
One info guys.
Xhp 50/70 will look like a small round bulb- offer more spreading over light concentration
Csp/ luxeon will look flat thin strip - offer concentration over spread and is closest to actual halogen filament
For headlights - high or low - prefer csp over older cob as we want halogen bulb like concentration focusing (hotspot)
For fog lamps it’s okay to go with older COB as they will spread more with less range(flooding)
Shop is Konark HSR?, How is the performance in fog and rain?
@@rohanlal6146 yes .
No fog yet but in light rain was decent
Beautifully explained with facts and figures, I am planning to upgrade the LB projectors to LED on my Nexon, here I have Osram, DHC and Maxxlink available in shops near me, which one would you suggest I should go for ?
Thanks .
All leds operate at lower wattage than claimed after heating up to attain steady state - expect 20-30% drop so going with higher wattage makes more sense.
Between the three take the higher wattage one and then consider warranty and chip and then price .
For the benefit of other can you share your city name and pricing for these options ?
For Honda city 5th generation, VMT, same lights or its changed, because once order, it's non returnable, so please confirm
Following description mention in owner manual
High beam headlight - 60W(HB3 FOR HELOGEN BULB TYPE)
Low beam headlight-55W(H7 for HELOGEN bulb type)
Osram main order karunga please share link if posbl
Yes same lights
I bought offline , online 4500/4300K color milta hi nehin
Hi..brother wonderful idea of replacing your old halogen head light with led set up. Kudos to your research for the best equipment. A couple of weeks back purchased 5th generation CVT VX City. Shall I replace the head light with led?
Congrats firstly. Thanks for kind words .
Yes the v/vx share the same lighting setup.
As you have seen with poor road lighting and unruly driver who drive with high beams on , I felt necessary to upgrade to a powerful light to better object detection early on .
I will say first plan to upgrade the low beams as that is what matters most in city with 4300/4500k LEDs.
Then depending on your driving conditions plan for high beam and fog lastly.
I am actually still searching for a pair of 4300/4500k for high beam but most places peddle the 6000-6500k leds so search is on!
can you please confirm can we install tweeters in honda city v 5th gen. and have you installed them.?
Yes you can . You can even get the oem tweeter housing and cover and just replace the existing cover
Personally I have not as I am not into treble. Pls see the last min of this video to get an overall idea of speaker -

Great choice for the LED setup and thanks for the info on how to choose the right intensity bulb. Just a quick question, you got installed LEDs only for the low beam projectors right ? So, does it fulfills the req or does it feel if there's a need to change the bulbs for high beam reflectors as well ?
Yes on lower beam as of now as they are the primary light source on city traffic - and they are huge upgrade over halogens .
The plan was to get high beams in same config but stocks are very low and hard to get - as plan B., I may go for 30/38w 4300K as I will seldom use them- mostly to warn, momentary long distance lookup or force a dipper from an idiota.
Also , now with this led , I have a very bright foreground , and the lower output of high beam may affect object identification/ reaction in long range - so a comparable output on high beam is desired.
@@jayd5030 Yes agree with you, also high beam with LEDs may Obstruct vision in winters and rains. But updating projectors will help in increasing the light on roads, I am also looking for the ligjt upgrade. This helps me to decide, Thanks 👍
@@zebras4life466 happy to help 👍.
Projector output is less than reflector housing but it focuses light on road unlike reflector which scatters.
Another good option is iph m617 led projector fog lamps which now comes in 5000-5500k color and costs about the same as these Leds.
Gm. I really liked your detailed video. I do have same colour & vx model. After watching you video I also want to use in my car. Please help me knowing frm where I can buy this
Your best best will be local stores in your city and you have to try most of them as this color is rare . Do go thru my responses on other folks queries where I have identified possible choices available
I think 60W is the maximum legal output for car headlights in India....then why 110W ?
55w per bulb same as the halogen it replaces
Beautifully explained 🙏
Thank you !
I also want to upgrade the leds of my tata safari 2021 by warm with leds but it is very difficult to find , pl give the details of leds and fog lights models.

Hello Jay..beautifully explained indeed..But I'm not able to find any link to buy these Maxlink LEDs for my car..can please share a link
Thanks Ishan .
Do check out this vid - ua-cam.com/video/ztaudYd5EoU/v-deo.html
Forget online stores to get 4300/4500K . Your best bet is to call up your cities car accesories shop and directly enquirer for color and wattage - don’t worry about brand as all are Chinese imports and are similar in performance for same color and wattage range .
Can we only upgrade the low beam to led (25watt osram) and leave high beam as stock halogen? Is there a risk ?
Absolutely - there is 0 risk from car’s perspective. For primarily city driven cars , that’s the advised route for multiple reasons . Go ahead and do share your experience.
Very informative video thx a lot
Thanks Koustabh!
Hi brother, impressed with your knowledge. Can you please help me find these Maxxlink 4500K 55 w LED H11 for my Honda City SV 2016?
Regards and thanks in advance.
Thank you …hahaha even I’m searching for H11/H16 for fog lamps … forget online options as they will only have 6000-6500k
Best option is to check with offline stores on your city and you have to try all . Based on my research these are some brands and options :
1. Maxxlink/Axxess- both source from same Chinese mfg even box is same
2. DHC pro-4300k- not sure on pricing but 45w may be 6k
3. Stun - 4300k but in 35w/55w - price - 4K/7k
4. Auxbeam S3- 4300k 30w each - around 4.8k
5. GPNE - 4500k - 55w- around 7k
6. excelite -30w - 5.5k perhaps
Problem is suppliers/distributors send 4300/4500k in fractions , so low very few stock them- again as most ppl prefer that ice cool white look of 6000-6500k
Also 6000-6500k LEDs are cheaper to make than lower color ones
Btw you have another option - get iph m617 bi led fog projector setup - I think they come in 5000-5500k color - costs about 7-8k and will fit with your factory fog wiring
Nice video. Whether is it suitable in Honda Amaze H4 reflector setup?
Thanks . Yes you absolutely can . Just ensure alignment is correct as reflectors scatter more light .they make models for all bulb holder sizes
Hi Jay where did you get the steering cover done. I can it is very well tugged in. Also did you change bulb both for low and high beam lamps
Done at konark hsr layout -cost was 1.2k
Yes the person was skilled and did a very good job - I didn’t want to open the steering to get a machine finish - this is close enough
As of now only low beams owing to lack of choice in 4500k
Thanks for the information
good and well explained Jay but in honda city vx 2016 you need to fit H11 right so can it be replaces with this H7 ? Need your support.. thanks , i went to konark he suggested same one for my honda so is it safe to use ..
Hello
Please refer this video where I have replaced all lights . I found better pricing at this shop instead
ua-cam.com/video/ztaudYd5EoU/v-deo.html
Double check your manual once to confirm if it’s h11 in headlight - usually h8/h11/h16 are fog lamps bulbs while H7, HB3(9005) are used in dual barrel head lamps
@@jayd5030 very useful video for upgrades will try and check that shop in BTM Thanks
@@rangarajant6206 welcome 👍
Very knowledgeable, thanks
Thank you - do check final vid with all lights covered
Have you upgraded the fog lamp as well? If so with which setup
ua-cam.com/video/ztaudYd5EoU/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Hi sir, I am also thinking of changing LED for my Honda city 5th gen vx. From your video, I understood you have installed LEDs for the projector beam, and what about the high beam? if I want to change for high beam as well in addition to the projector beam. What is your suggestion and which version and brand you would suggest to me?
Very limited choices for 4500k. Only stay away from COB led based units as they have lower output compared to other updated units and is better for fog lamps.
I have given some options in reply to a gentleman here - please check on that reply for the brands I have found available . Even I’m searching for 9005 socket (high beam ) in 4300/4500K color but most shops have 6000-6500k.
@@jayd5030 Thank you
Mere yaha jo shop hai uske pass 6000k vala led hai , so wo kaisa rehega for ritz ?
Ache weather mein it will be good but rains mein visibility kam hoga
How is your headlamps performance after 1 year, I am also thinking to change it to led
No looking back since the upgrade ! The high beam is something I tell you … very good at forcing high beam idiots to a dipper :)
For fog lamps you can also look at the projector base led options like iph m617 as they offer a more uniform cutoff albeit though pricey at 6k a pair
@@jayd5030 🤣🤣
Does this void the car warranty ?
Nopes , plug and play within oem wattage
I asked the same of honda svc tech . Usually no wire splicing / scotch-lock/ new wires means no issues . Also remember warranty is applicable wrt to certain sub sections . If you install a crappy oversized tire they can void warranty for suspension , not for the electrical . Stay plug and play and within oem wattage /voltage limits and you are good
@@jayd5030 Thanks for the Update ✌️
@@jayd5030 While surfing for 55W led bulbs online, I'm unable to find any. The ones which I'm able to see are of 25W and 6000K. Does installing a 25W affect the overall performance ?
@@mebinthomas1401 that maybe underwhelming since all leds loose 10-15% in wattage in steady state - this is due to heat buildup . 6000k will be troublesome in rains and inclement weather. Best is to go to local shops and search for 4300/4500k range for all weather performance
Why not you go for azoom 4300k 130w led ?
Hello digvijay - I have tried to answer in the first minute on this video
Where to buy???? Link?
Please source from local auto shops - you may have to try multiple options but better than online both in terms of availability and after sales support
Hi Jay, did you get the projector light converted into led too?
Yes
Did you get it replaced at honda itself? What was the total cost incurred?
@@rakeshkumarsingh4318 ua-cam.com/video/ztaudYd5EoU/v-deo.html
Have you changed for both low beam and high beam? Means 4 LEDs?
Yes and fog lamps as well
@@jayd5030 For high beams also, you have gone with the same LEDs as low beam, is it? For my old polo, the headlights installation guys put in some white light so I am guessing more than 5000K AoZoom. It used to blind oncoming people. I felt very bad even though I just used to flash when overtaking etc. So after 1 month, I removed my high beam's lens and again put my same halogen bulbs back. So the question I wanted to ask is - IF we put this 4500K LED in high beam in HONDA CITY (my current car) reflector slot, will it not scatter light too much and blind oncoming traffic. Please help me understand sir. Since I may also upgrade lights in the future since my city's halogens seem too weak for city and highway.
@vishnukumarkailashkumar6211
Hi Vishnu - first thanks for being one of the more responsible drivers on road
Reflectors will scatter and that is why proper alignment is necessary - the ideal alignment is to have the led chips on side - at 3 and 9 pm clock position when viewed from front - this makes it closest to original filament .
The goal is to create that proper focus some 50-100 feet away like your old halogens and not the wall of light you might see with improper upgrade
Also another great option is to go with led m617 types projector fog lamps - just ensure combined wattage doesn’t exceed the current wattage - in v/vx we have 19w per bulb . Not sure about zx fogs
@@jayd5030 Thanks for your response. Mine is VX 2023 MMC. Noted your tips on the positioning of the chips, and your alternate option of led projector for fog lamps. But I wanted to ask 1 more question. In my previous polo, for the low beam I had gone with proper bi-xenon HID projector setup, and the output was simply superb. Like you mentioned, the output got cut on the right side, and there was a proper cut-off horizontal line above which the light never shone. That was fantastic! So naturally what I wanted to ask was - is it ok to have a LED with a projector setup (since HID projector would be too expensive) in the high beam too? Will it be overkill?
@vishnukumarkailashkumar6211
Fundamentally By design HIDs are closets to halogen - instead of a filament you have a thin gas discharge tube with way more intensity but almost at the same focal point in the concave surface . So that’s why you got the best output from the bi focal hid projector earlier both low level spread and long distance high beam - in both focal length the hid was in its optimal place
Leds given their structure try their best to mimic this physical need - that’s why on oem lamps you will mostly see a singular led chip for one reflective surface . What we are doing here is retrofitting with the hope that the incoming led bulb will somehow be closets in focal position to outgoing halogen, so it will never be perfect sadly .
Should we have a projector for high beam - yes - depends on your need - if you need far away surfaces to be brightly light around a centre HOTSPOT . That’s where bi focal led projectors shine - they were made with the led chip at its optimal focal position. You also get what’s referred in market as laser lights that output in a square pattern at 200-300 feet - which is awesome for bright hotspot 100s of feet away to give you more reaction time
In your case I would say visit some good lighting installers and ask them if they can demo good bi focal led fog projectors - so you can decide if that is what you seek - with or without assist from high beam
Where is this shop?
Saurabh refer this videos description where I moved to another shop for better pricing

Hey I have installed 75W X 2 Leds. Do I need relay for this? The leds are from mytvs. Kindly reply
Is it 75w per unit or pair ?
Oem lighting is usually 55/60w per unit so oem wiring harness is designed to carry a little more so it may handle the same . Also leds drop in power as heated .
So if it’s 75w combined then no problem . If it’s 75w per unit then for long run and not stressing your harness you may think of relay
@@jayd5030 it is 75w each. 150W for both.
In educated guess you should be good as that 75w is not true like most Chinese stuff . Plus as it heats up it will lose 20-25% power . I think the oem wiring should be able to handle 15% extra load at start
@@jayd5030 thank you so much. The accessories showroom said the same that it will work without issues.

From where in Bangalore it is available in H1 & H7 type?
You have to try multiple shops cause stocks are negligible for this color - but try konark , glamour or Sachin’s . Color and wattage may slightly differ
@@jayd5030 In online place which genuine seller can be sourced?
@@ashokmalve8218 online options - yet to find one with this color - the lowest I found was 5500k from Pune based Genome - you will get that on Amazon and a Hyderabad based shop called razencustoms
@@jayd5030 Closest I am finding in Bangalore is Excelite LEDs with 4300K but limited to 30-35 wattage... Just don't know how powerful it will be against 55w.
@@ashokmalve8218 excelite supplies to Korean twins - Hyundai/Kia. 35w is also good option - expect 15-20% difference in overall output but massive difference over halogen for sure.
All LEDs deliver lower wattage as they heat up - eg - a 55w claimed unit will probably run at 38-43w steady , while a 35w unit may run at 25-28 range
Do let us know where and what pricing were you offered.
What about high beam?

@@jayd5030 thanks, got it. Would your Bangalore dealer ship the lights to Chennai, I find it difficult to get here. Thanks in advance.
