Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 Review: 3-Inch Fog Lamps Listed at 120 W and 7000 lm, Wiring Notes
The Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 is a pair of 3-inch Bi-LED projector fog lamps with a flat cut-off, rated at 120 W per set and listed at 7000 lm in our store, with 6000K white light, IP68 protection and a 9 to 32 V supply range. The India MRP is ₹15,990, which makes it the middle step of the three single-colour 3-inch sets we list, between the 110 W X-FLAF9 and the 130 W X-FLAF9+2. It suits a buyer who wants a higher listed output than the base set and will size the wiring to match. See the X-FLAF9+1 product page in our store.
Quick summary
The set is rated at 120 W, and the listing gives 45 W per lamp on low beam and 60 W on high. The 7000 lm figure is listed once, without saying which beam it describes.
Against the X-FLAF9 it adds 10 W and 1,000 lm for ₹1,000 more. Against the X-FLAF9+2 it has 10 W and 500 lm less and costs ₹1,000 less.
IP68, a 9 to 32 V supply and a -40 °C to +105 °C working range are listed. Dimensions, harness and mounting details are not.
We found no owner reviews or tests of this model in October 2026.

Reading the 7000 lm and 120 W figures
All three single-colour 3-inch sets list the same 45 W per lamp on low beam. They differ at high beam, where the X-FLAF9 lists 55 W, this set 60 W and the X-FLAF9+2 65 W, and in the lumen figure, which is 6000, 7000 and 7500. Our listing gives its lumen figure once and does not say whether it describes low or high beam, so it is hard to say what the extra 1,000 lm over the X-FLAF9 means on the road.
Lumens count total output and say nothing about how the light is spread. Neither the listing nor Onkyo's page gives a beam angle or a lux figure. More watts also mean more heat, and more glare if the aim is poor, so treat 7000 lm as a figure to compare and not as a measure of visibility.
Wiring, relays and heat
At 120 W the pair draws about 10 A from a 12 V supply on high beam, or about 8 A at 90 W on low, which is our arithmetic and not a published rating. The 9 to 32 V range spans 12 V and 24 V systems. The listing gives no fuse, relay, switch or harness details and does not say how the lamp moves between low and high beam, so those answers come before the wiring plan. Use a fuse, relay and cable sized to the lamps, and do not assume the stock fog lamp circuit can carry the load.
Heat rises with wattage. The listing does not describe the cooling design, and a closed bumper cavity has little airflow in an Indian summer, so leave air space around the body and keep wiring clear of it. IP68 covers the lamp as listed, not the joints you make, so seal every connector.
What owners and reviewers say about the Onkyo X-FLAF9+1
We found no owner reviews or independent tests of the Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 when we checked in October 2026. Our listing has no customer reviews, and Onkyo's page is a specification list, which is promotional. Searches by model number found nothing relevant. Amazon, Flipkart and YouTube could not be searched with our tools, so reviews may exist there.
The closest material concerns wiring other brands' lamps. On a 2021 page of Team-BHP's auto lighting thread, members asked whether a car's stock fog lamp wiring and relay can carry a higher-wattage kit, and one said a suitable relay was hard to source. Another asked whether lamps with high and low settings need an SPDT or DPDT switch. One member said they had fitted 3-inch projector fog lamps on their own vehicle without a relay. Those are single-vehicle experiences with other products. Our advice is unchanged: size the fuse, relay and cable to this lamp's rating. If you own an X-FLAF9+1, tell us how the wiring went.
X-FLAF9+1 between the X-FLAF9 and X-FLAF9+2
The X-FLAF9 costs ₹14,990 and lists 110 W and 6000 lm. The X-FLAF9+2 costs ₹16,990 and lists 130 W and 7500 lm; its listing alone gives an irradiation distance of more than 500 m, a figure Onkyo's page does not carry. All three list a 3-inch lens, 6000K, IP68, 9 to 32 V and 45 W low beam, so the +1 sits halfway on wattage and price and between the two on lumens. The X-FLAF9X shares this set's ₹15,990 MRP, but it is a 110 W tri-colour set with no lumen figure listed.
Who should buy it, and who shouldn't
Buy the X-FLAF9+1 if you want a higher listed output than the X-FLAF9 for ₹1,000 more, you accept a 120 W load, and you will fit a proper fuse and relay.
Look elsewhere if you want the lowest MRP (the X-FLAF9), the highest lumen figure among our 3-inch sets (the X-FLAF9+2), a warmer colour option (the X-FLAF9X) or a 2-inch lens, as on the X-FLAF20 and X-FLAF21. Do not order until you can confirm fitment, because our listing currently says all sales are final.
Installation notes for Indian cars
Measure the opening, the depth behind it and the room for connectors. The listing gives the 3-inch lens size and nothing else about dimensions, and mentions no brackets or harness, so ask us to check fitment. Fix the lamps firmly, since speed breakers and rough roads loosen weak mounts, and route the wires away from hot or moving parts.
If you drive in winter fog around Delhi NCR, fit and aim the lamps before the season starts. Aim them low, check the pattern against a wall at night, and look at the aim again after a few weeks. Rules on additional lamps vary by place, so check the current local rules; neither Onkyo's page nor our listing makes any approval statement. VA3 Car Studio in Ghaziabad offers professional installation.
Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 price and where to buy
The Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 has an India MRP of ₹15,990. VA3 Car Studio often sells below MRP, so check today's price on the X-FLAF9+1 listing. Warranty terms and duration are set by Onkyo, so confirm them with us before ordering. Our store also lists Onkyo's X-E850 and X-E1200 LED headlight bulbs.
The bottom line
The X-FLAF9+1 is the middle of the three single-colour 3-inch sets: 10 W and 1,000 lm above the X-FLAF9 for ₹1,000 more, and 10 W and 500 lm below the X-FLAF9+2 for ₹1,000 less. Its listing is fuller than the X-FLAF9X's, with per-lamp wattages and a lumen figure, but it still omits dimensions, switching and wiring details, and we found no owner reports on it. Plan the wiring to the 120 W rating, confirm fitment, and aim carefully.
Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 FAQ
How much current does the Onkyo X-FLAF9+1 draw?
The listing gives no current rating. Its 60 W high beam per lamp makes 120 W for the pair, about 10 A from a 12 V supply, and 45 W per lamp on low beam makes 90 W, about 8 A. That is our arithmetic, so have an installer size the fuse, relay and cable.
Is the X-FLAF9+1 brighter than the X-FLAF9?
It lists more: 7000 lm against 6000 lm, and 60 W against 55 W high beam per lamp. The listing does not say whether the lumen figure is for low or high beam, and no beam pattern is published, so we cannot say how the difference looks on the road.
What is the difference between the X-FLAF9+1 and the X-FLAF9+2?
The X-FLAF9+2 lists 130 W against 120 W, 7500 lm against 7000 lm and 65 W against 60 W high beam per lamp, for ₹1,000 more. Only its listing gives an irradiation distance. Both list the same lens size, 6000K, IP68, 9 to 32 V and 45 W low beam.
