Like few other had already mentioned, some tweak is needed to install these lights<\/h2>\n

BHPian snallagatla<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts:<\/p>\n

Installed Stedi Carbon black headlights today. Totally loved the new upgrade. I’m sharing a few details here on how to order these lights directly from Stedi website for benefit of wider community.<\/p>\n

Why the lighting upgrade?<\/p>\n

‘Why not, its a Thar, Most customized car I have seen on the roads. Like GTO mentioned many times on this forum, Every Thar is unique with some customization. Its just a little over a month since I took the delivery of this beast and I never had any issues with default halogen lights. However, I’ve got the itch of upgrading lights as Thar looked its best with LED DRLs (I know, Looks are subjective). So, I decided to go for this upgrade.<\/p>\n

Why Stedi Carbon Black?<\/p>\n

When I had almost zeroed on DHC 7″ headlights for my Thar, I happened to read this thread and changed my decision to go for Stedi. While I liked GTO’s Stedi Homage lights are classy and unique but Nair.V8’s Carbon black lights appealed more to me for the modern look with DRL.<\/p>\n

How to order these lights?<\/p>\n

Stedi doesn’t have a reseller in India but There are 2 ways to get these lights.<\/p>\n

First option is to order from https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/offoraderscommunity\/, This is how GTO ordered his lights and they charge little margin over the import charges and distribute products to customers.<\/p>\n

Second option is to order directly from Stedi(AU) website(stedi.com.au). (Stedi also has a UK website stediuk.com but prices are almost double as AU website), This is how Nair.V8 ordered.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with second option as I could save few bucks though I know the risk of package struck in customs sometimes. Adding lights to the cart and payment process was a straight forward process. Stedi has also gave me concession on Delivery pricing(12 AUDs extra over the total price of 400 AUD) when I selected destination as India. However, I got more greedy when I saw the option for Discount Code, I immediately did a google search and applied a random coupon code which reduced the final price further to 393.87 AUD, Sweet. I quickly made the payment and observed value converted in my credit card statement as 22,196 INR.<\/p>\n

Issues with Customs and Delivery?<\/p>\n

DHL is the delivery partner for international shipments of Stedi. I literally annoyed when DHL didn’t pickup the package for first 3 days until I submitted the documentation for address proof matching my name, residential proof etc. However, I realized later that it is only helping customers by giving another chance of correcting the corresponding address to minimize the risk of package struck in custom. Pro tip: Ensure that you have a valid address proof for the address that you share with Stedi for delivery without any typo errors.<\/p>\n

Another issue I faced was DHL wanted a clarification letter from me for why the Invoice value and the final payment value differed. So, I had to write a letter to Customs officer that I had applied a discount code which reduced the final amount of this product. It took about 3 days for DHL to clear the package from Customs and deliver. I had to pay 11518.60\/- for Customs import duty.<\/p>\n

Is Installation hassle free?<\/p>\n

Like few other had already mentioned, some tweak is needed to install these lights, Technician need to cut the following frame marked in the red to install the lights. Technician has charged me 1500\/- INR for the installation. So, the final bill for installing these lights came as 35214.69\/- INR. As I understand, installation is not a DIY project at least for people like me. It took about 2 hours for 2 technicians to replace the lights.<\/p>\n

Thank you GTO. Sharing the pictures as promised:<\/p>\n
