since it is getting darker earlier and earlier i was wanting to put new bulbs into my headlights. i dont want to pony up the money for hids so what is the best and brightest bulb out there.

 

not really anything else besides hids thats bright bright.you can try silver star bulbs but IMO i think they look the same as stock

 

be that guy and put hids in your stock headlights.

 

ANY aftermarket bulb has GOT to be brighter than stock. Nokya arctic whites are definitely better, luminics white. PIAA bulbs are awesome but pricey. The stock bulbs are borderline non-functional.

 

Ive heard Nokyas can melt harnesses...

The downside to aftermarket bulbs is they burn out much quicker than oem

 

HIDs are low priced if you get them from BuyHIDs.com or DDMTuning.com

 

In the end hids are gonna cost about as much as aftermarket halogens after you burn out 1 or 2 sets trying to find a good pair.

 

i use xenon bulbs, gives you a much whiter look than stock, only like 15 a set. deff not hid's though haha

correction, i was useing xenons, just poped in halogens

 

im gonna prepare to be flamed for this, but I actually can't stand HID's. They are too bright for me, especially when they dont have the auto-turn feature, which angles the light during a turn.

My reasons for this are that the HID's provide TOO much contrast at night between the unlit area and the lit, it makes it hard for me to see the exit of the turn when im on my approach/tapping the apex. It just doesnt let my peripheral vision (which is much sharper than your forward sight) see in the dark. You all will think im crazy but I find halogens work much better at keeping my peripheral sharp in the unlit areas. there IS a reason all the GT-2 cars use halogens

 

i put in some ge nighthawk premiums and they are pretty bright and white. much better than stock but nowhere near hids

 

i dont care about price that much. i just didnt want to go threw the hassel of trying to put hids into my car

 

know how to change a bulb?? plug and play my friend, basic knowledge needed... I can put hids in my moms mini van in 5 mins.

 

instead of just plugging in a bulb...you plug in a ballast then the bulb into the ballast

 

I get xenons from ebay. 10000k 80/100watt. they're like 13 bucks a pair. I do have to change the bastards like every 4 months though. They're pretty bright compared to stock.
