How to improve headlights and tail lamps?

[SK01]

 

Hey guys..

I think my Honda City lights are not bright enough compared to other cars of the same segment and also lower segments. Even though I switch on high beam the visibility is not clear in roads without streetlights.

This is the picture of my car taken in the early morning hours 6:45. We can't even see the redlight. Compared to this my WagonR lights are far better.

I don't know whether it's same for all City's or only mine, but I'm not satisfied with the lights. Any alternative recommendations?

TIA[emoji4] [emoji4]

Hi Krish,

 

Just by looking at the pic it seems to be a real problem, get the fuse & switch inspected.

 

In 2014 I had a friend who faced the same issue, it was resolved by service center guys without any extra cost as fuse was faulty.

 

Electrical wiring in Honda vehicles is bit sensitive, even installing a cigarette lighter can damage the fuse and internal wiring.

 

Thanks
Sai

Head lamp

It is easy to upgrade head lamps,  most of the cabbies and heavy highway users, upgrade the headlamps.

Stock bulbs are fine in city usage, but out on highways, they are not sufficient.

You can upgrade the bulbs to 100/90 with relay kit.

 It will cost you around 1k~2k and there will be good improvement.

 

Tail lamp

Honda city tail lamp is very bright.

Try to compare with other honda city on road.

If it is dull, visit service centre.

PS: Please don't use high beams in city. [emoji4]

Hi krish,

This issue should probably be with the high beam optics as they spread the light in a wide area instead of concentrating it in front of you. I had recently come across a honda city which was fitted with projectors from Genome. They come with 1 year warranty and cost around 30K INR. but, I find the projectors a bit too expensive and I would rather suggest you with the HID Kit in low beam and high beam in approx. 20K.

New Honda City is coming with LED head lamps, See if you can swap with them.
