Sorry to change the subject.

Can anyone advise what type of headlight bulbs are our high beam lights? H4/H7?
Now Philips bulbs got sale....

And also, it is advisable to change the stock HID bulbs to a brighter one? 8000K? What is our current one rated?

Any safety risk?

Thanks!
Bro Cedric,

Our highbeam lights are HB3, low beam lights are HB4.

It is not a good advise to change high beam lights to white color if u r thinking so. This is for safety reason. In event weather is bad and foggy or extreme heavy rain, the yellow high beam lights shall save yr day as it provides maximum throw in front of yr ride.

Most pple mod the low beam lights. Our stock is 4300k...slight yellow. If u r considering anything above 5000K, it's up to u but it is against LTA rules.

Of course, 6k, 7K, 8K, 12K and etc are very nice...but do adjust yr throw lower once u have changed to this lights (be considerate for other road users)...need help, pm me.

Philips lights are reknown for its quality but still ex compare to Taiwan or Korean made...if a pair on sales is below $200, grab!

Cheers,
Bro weaver,

I don't think the low beam lights are HB4 (halogen type). Ours are the HID type and looking at the bulb I can see it's Philips D2R 35W. Correct me if I"m wrong.

And Bro Cedric, if you really want to change the HID bulbs, 6k will be just nice as it is white. 8k will be bluish in colour and like what bro weaver said, in bad weather you can hardly see your your light on the road.

Cheers!

Bro AL,

Yes, u r right. our CP2 is HID lights but according to the manual, it is stated bulb type as HB4 for low beam. May be manual was not printed properly. haha.

HID also got its own number code as per given by you...D2R.

Forget to tell bros here, bro johan got unique 7K HID bulbs...check it out on him..this type already obsolete liao...

So when we kopi this week?

Btw, Merry Christmas in advance to all CPs!

Cheers!

Thank you for all the help you have shown!!!

I think it is better to check out your rides before i start to change the HID to a higher rated one.

So when can we meet up?

Bro stingray,

I bought it at McWell, lost the receipt but should be around 120. Like I said earlier, there's a slight increase in performance. You decide.

Cheers!

bros,

The brand of the bodykit used by ACT shown by bro junning, is WALD n used on Benz, see the comparison:

But it sure look nice on our CPs!

For bros who have yet to mount their bodykit, time to consider this...
