hello folks,

i'm thinking of adding a fog light on my perdana alfa bumper edition.

any advise?

1) comet 4500 (rm80 for a set) - anyone using this? reviews?
2) odyssey fog light (rm250 for a set) - quite expensive, i feel
3) myvi fog light (was told that need to cut the bumper in order to fit and not lasting)

i wanted something really good and durable, as you know.. our stock headlight is weak.. can't even see anything at all..

Maybe first you need to fix your main issue which is your headlamp. Are they already yellow & cracking? If yes then try to restore them first, if still cannot then buy new pairs. Have you also tried better bulbs from Osram, Phillips, etc2. Those help a lot too.

You can try refrofit projectors and HID like what Izso suggested. I have contact if you want. It aint cheap but suggest you buy a pair of new headlamp 1st before doing it.

So far, friends got no problem going through roadblocks since is high quality ones and not those Cheapo HID that cost only few hundred or less. You are gonna be looking at a price of RM1K+.

If not, then just get a pair of new headlamps and better quality bulbs like Osram or Philips. What you pay is what you get la.

i actually using my stock headlight, retrofit with projector lens and HID, 4300k..

still i find it weak.. in order to see, i had to highbeam.. which i find very inconsiderate..

hence, i'm looking at fog light.

i actually have 2 set of projector leds as fog light, with HID 3000k..
however, due to the turbo piping blocking the installation.

any other better alternative?

Out of curiousity, is your headlight plastic clear or milky? Perhaps you just have blurry headlights. Is the projector lens good quality?

clear..
projector lens seem ok for me.. it's working fine.. maybe i should change the headlight to 3000k instead.
least, the throw light will be better.

have you checked the light throw from the headlamps? Out of angle/allignment lighting could be the culprit....

Worse case scenario, have you got your eye checked other than your car's "eyes"?

Retrofitted HID actually might not be good coz the light might be spreading instead of focusing, plus it actually be more blinding to the opposing cars due to the light spread. Better bulbs with std reflectors are more effective and much cheaper.

Retrofitted HID on halogen reflector then no good, but if retrofitted to projector headlamps are okay as the focusing is there....:driver:

Maybe low beam adjusted too low so light is nearer the car that why cannot see ahead.....:smokin:

what kind of hid did u use for the retrofit? perhaps its just the adjustment needed.... adjustment for projector usually the cut-off line of the light touch down the road at 300ft (+-100m)
