Hello I was interested in upgrading my headlights on my 2009 Suzuki SX4, specifically the low beams. The headlight bulbs are 9007 and I have already put in Phillips extreme vision which made a significant improvement but I still have trouble seeing at night. The housings are clear and they are correctly aimed. I have auxiliary high beams on a bar attached to the frame in front of the bumper so I can mount additional lights there. The stock low beams are not very bright nor do they have a particularly wide beam , both attributes which I would like to improve with auxiliary low beams.
My first thought was to get a pair of hella bifocal 5.75in lamps mounted in a grote housing which from all accounts would perform ideally.
My other thought was to use some of the hella 90mm halogen modules or even the 60mm ones but I haven't been able to find much about their performance. I like this option for the reduced size and weight and I believe they may even cost less. I am not sure on the cost of the bi focal reflector units. I could get the hella classic 90mm low beams for about 65ea or the premium ones for 100.
I also considered the 90mm bi-halogens for 110ea if they perform well since having some extra hi beam performance would be welcome.
I was hoping someone would be able to recommend which of these lamps would perform best and whether the modules would perform as well as I would prefer them from a size and ease of mounting perspective. I appreciate any feedback , thank you!
