Best Head light bulbs?

around $100 for a pair :)

That's not bad...... Polargs retail for around $135ish i think.....

anyone know places in Melb I can get PIAA bulbs?

Dude, didn't you read the thread?
Mugsee is based in Melbourne i think.

yes I read and I have spoken to him. while he is busy with stuff, I thought I could go shopping on my own since I have some spare time atm. :D

Ahh i see. :)

ill sell you a (1) polarg? one of mine blew and i got some cheap replacements :P....

anyway, where do you get these piaa 7500k ones? im interested in seeing how bright they are :D

HIDs are illegal if retro-fitted in to a non-HID car. To be legal, the HIDs need a self-levelling system and headlight washers.

I have Philips Diamond Visions in my car. They run at 5000k and look awesome. As Mr Thanh said, they give out less light, but it actually says this on the package (it does on mine). Mine were $145 for the pair.

For reference sake, most OEM HIDs are running around the 4200k temp (the same as Philips Crytals). Running 7200k PIAAs would increase your risk of getting defected no doubt as they would be noticebly blue. There is an Audi getting around Sydney with 8000k HIDs and he gets defected all the time they are so blue.

But anything other than HID is a waste of money from a performance perspective

How about brighter, higher useable light emitting bulbs? eg. Philips Vision Plus? Why wouldn't something like that constitute a "performance" upgrade from OEM or dimmer bulbs? :roll:

PIAA 7500k bulbs, not hid's, would emit a blue light? or was the post reffering to PIAA 7500 hid bulbs :P

7500k whether HID or or normal fillament bulbs will be noticebly blue (they are both running at the same temperature).

With regards to my comment about anything other than HID is a waste of money from a performance perspective, I was referring to 'white/rice' bulbs. I am not sure of the temp of Vision Plus, but they are not a 'white' light as far as I am aware.

So you should edit and substitute "anything" for "rice". :)
