Wud up yall, Im lookin to upgrade the stock head lights with something brighter... The halogen ones are ok but Im looking for somethin better.. like hyper white or plasma blue... any recommendations on quality bulbs?
I saw some on ebay for cobalts but dam, they are REALLY cheap... like, TOOOO cheap. Should i trust them or what do u guys think? plz let me know ur opinions... thanks in advance

those "toooo cheap" ones are just that.
cheap.
I ordered 10 of them to use for my foglights, because they looked horribly yellow compared to my HIDs, and they basically are only looks now, since the HIDS blow them out of the water anyway.
so far in 6 months ive blown 3
they are poorly made, and you get what you pay for.
but they do the job for me, they are cheap and give me a nice color for my fogs.

I tried silverstar ultras, and honestly found the increase rather dissapointing.
the stock headlight bulbs actually perform quite admirably as far as halogens go.
I gave my silverstars away after a few days of trying them out.

projectors and HID's for best quality...

As far as halogens go they are all basically the same, the stock ones do just fine.

getting projectors will net you the same, maybe slightly less light on low beams, but much brighter high beams...HIDs are the only way to go for better light output

i knew it was tooooooooo good to be true.. Lol. Thanks guys, now i know to stay clear from them ebay lights.

L.P.

I got euro lights in mine, they are high quality and love them...they arn't blue or anything they are just bright white...check them out...the web addy is

If you want a straight bulb replacement I have always goin with the PIAA's extreme whites and that is what I did for the balt as well. Here is the best price I found for them and where I ordered from.

I get people flashing me with the low beams on.

cobaltguy88

And BTW, I hate PIAA. They're lights are no better than Best Buy bulbs (yes, BEST BUY) and they're wayyyyy over priced.

Just try them, who cares it's 10 bucks

Stouffer

Exactly just try them..Never had a problem with PIAA's personally and have always lasted.

The specs on the piaa's for the low beam = 110w and high beam = 120w cmpared to the stock 55w/65w and the fogs are 110W compared to 55w

cobaltguy88

Aite then, Ima try em out.. Ill order them sometime soon and update u guys... They probably will perform like crap but I could always put the stock ones back in.. thanks

an0malous

that doesnt necessarily mean they are brighter.
only that they obviously dont have the same exact light generation point, and need to be re-aimed.

A brighter bulb correctly aimed should not be causing people to flash you.

Stouffer

They are aimed pretty close, if anything they are low.

piaas are the best dont let anyone talk you out of them... they are very very very bright for the money. always had people flashing me thinking my highbeams were on, until i flashed them the high beams and they stopped what they were doing. incredible night vision and incredible wet vision

cobaltguy88

i ordered some lights from ebay... if they work like crap, i will take them out and replace them with the stock ones... im not lookin to dish out $300-$400 for some hid conversion kits.. just the light bulb itself.. So i will keep u guys updated

I have some PIAA's also. I bought the car with them installed. Are there different types cause mine emit a blue light? Is that normal from the PIAA's?

Also, how long do these bulbs last?

Thanks.
