I am looking for a good pair of h1 headlight bulbs for my 3rd gen projector headlights. Anybody have any good ideas. I was thinking of buying luminics?

 

no to the luminics.... they burn out with in a few months.. just get some hids and be done with it..

 

bulbs are junk
get HID's and you will love it

I've had PIAA, silverstars etc... i was never happy

 

same HID ftw

 

yeah man just get HID theres nothing better

 

You will love HID so much you wont be able to live with out it. I know I can't :P

 

Does anyone have either two sets of HID's in your projectors or HID's in your fogs?

 

I have HIDs in my headlights and my fogs 5000K 50W in both and I love it. It is so much brighter than before.

 

I would get hid's but i just bought the 3rd gen projectors and they say do not use hid's in them? So I guess I have to get some bulbs for now.

 

Stock headlights with stock bulbs FTMFW!!!

 

Dude, The stock headlights in our cars suck especially compared to my 2005 GTO I had before. That is why I upgraded to HIDs.

 

They said the same for mine (Gen1) but guess what 11 months later no problems!! HID runs cooler then the stock bulbs so HID is safer to use with your projectors then the stock bulbs they come with! On top of that HID up too 6000k is 3x brighter then halogen bulbs! Makes siverstar bulbs look like dog poop.

6000k output/cutoff:

 

They are just saying that to cover their ass just in case something does go wrong. It also maybe that those projectors are not DOT approved for use with HID. IDK though. You should have absolutely no problems with the projectors because of HID though because, as has been stated, they run much cooler than halogen so no chance of them melting your lights or anything.

Edit. I just remembered that you need to remove the little metal reflector out of the housing. If you do not you will have a lot of glare with HIDs. There is a how to somewhere on this site. search how to fix glare with 3rd gen projectors.

 

i have third gen lights with 6000k hids in them and they have been in em for 9 months now with no problems so you can run hids em.

 

Never had a problem with them in the 2 years and 52k miles i've owned/driven the car, and I do quite a bit of night driving.
