Advancer 3rd Gear March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 Hi I am interested in replacing my Toyota Altis 2015 classic (no led headlights) from halogen bulb to led. I am wondering if the advertised philips LED x-treme ultinon or LED ultinon require any retrofit if I were to replace the headlights bulb? Any place to recommend to change them and will it pass LTA inspection in future? http://www.philips.com.sg/content/dam/master/lighting-philips/automotive/car-lights-apr/leaflets/LED_EN.pdf ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastfive1 5th Gear March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 You might wanna check what exactly this product is offering. Philips is offering an LED replacement for the small bulb you find in your parking lights, dome lights and door lights. If you wanna go for a retrofit of halogen to LED, go on ebay and you'll find some kits available. Super easy to install. Check your bulb size first before ordering. http://www.ebay.com/itm/60W-6000LM-Kit-CREE-LED-HeadLight-Bulbs-H4-H7-H8-H9-H11-H13-9005-9006-9004-9007-/111363992682?hash=item19edcfac6a&vxp=mtr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragingbull Internal Moderator March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 mine is H4 and it looks like this remove the original halogen bulb, then install the H4 (or whichever variant u buy) bracket first screw the whole body into the bracket, connect its plug to the original light bulb power supply. light temperature 6000k, not sure is it LTA friendly or not.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just change the bulb. However, if signal light, understand the frequency of blinking may be affected, so test first. HID and LED usually is generally whiter and brighter. Forget abt changing to another halogen bulb that supposedly imitate the colour of HID (unless the pure rally yellow type - which in my opinion is good for fog lamps used especially in Malaysia).

The LED version of the Elegance Altis is a projector headlights rather than the Classic Altis conventional type, very different. Sadly, i guess i am bounded by the warranty given by borneo motors. So I may be only able to change the bulb to another halogen one and not retrofitting it to HID/LED. Retrofitting may void my warranty.

Ake109 6th Gear March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 (edited) whats that? Halogen Infra Red. An anti-IR coating on the bulb blocks the IR and causes the filament to burn brighter. It is the brightest Halogen bulb you can get on the market now for 55w. Check the Phillips webpage, they have it. http://www.lightbulbs4cars.com/hir%20replacement%20bulbs Edited March 25, 2015 by Ake109 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, retro fitting isn't gonna void warranty if they don't know you did it. When you bring your car to them to service, take out the retrofitted HIDs or LEDs.

Iczboi Neutral Newbie June 1, 2015 Share June 1, 2015 I got my LED headlight at here. http://sghid.com.sg/led-car-headlight-with-aerospace-ultra-cooling-heatsink. Previously I brought at $130 for 1 pair. Installation is quite easy, no need projector lens or special equipment. I think they will provide a cable for you to plug to the headlight, then another end of it is to the car headlight power supply. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
