I bought some Luminics bulbs back in October. Tonight when I went out on my coffee break I noticed that one of the bulbs is already dead! Grrr.... I've only had the bulbs installed in the car for about 3 months now... Is this normal for these lights? Needless to say, I wasn't impressed since now I am going to have to change the bulbs in the cold, I don't have immediate access to a garage.

Any care to suggest any other good lighting choices (brands) available? I can't do HID's yet as our department is going on stike in the next few days....

 

silverstars. probably the best lighting u'll get out of the stock housing........... myself.... ive been running hids from day one with the car

 

yeah thats a known problem with luminics. Silverstars are all your going to be able to do reliably in the stock housing

 

I guess Silverstars... though I've heard tale of them popping after a few months too.

I used to run some cheap $20 bulbs... they'd pop every 6 months or so... I finally got tired of changing them and switched to Halos.

 

I had Luminics JDM Yellows in the fog lights. They lasted about 9 months before one just blew out over Christmas. I just haven't had the chance to change them out. I will probably just put the stock ones back in and see if I could find something different later on.

 

silverstars are crap ....... at least there h1's are

ive put 3 pairs in my car b4 i decided to not do it again

 

nramlow just do hids in ur projectors, and never look back..... i'm putting hids into my fogs soon....

 

I hope the Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs I ordered last longer than 3 months.

 

stock bulbs work great for me

Never had one burn out yet.

 

IF I DO HID'S I WANT HIGHS AND LOWS... SO I WOULD HAVE TO ORDER 2 SETS AND WIRE THEM seperate.

 

My luminics did the same, blew after a few months usage, then I got smart and got HID's haha.

 

dude why u yelling? hahahaha........ wiring hids are simple as hell man. a deaf blind retarded monkey could do it.

 

LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!...

i typed and didnt realize my caps where on then got 2 lazy to go back and fix it.

 

nramlow2006, HID's are very nice. They do an awesome job at lighting the road. I don't know if HID's would be a good idea for the high beams. The HID's have a period that they need to "warm up." This usually take about 30 seconds before they reach maximum light output. This I see is an issue. I wired my projctors to light the HID's for the low beams and both the HID"s and hallogens for the high beams. The is a link to the how to in my sig.
