Best Head light bulbs?

[Jus-10]

I can't be arsed doing that seeing as though I have already corrected myself for those that can't follow the topic of conversation (i.e. white light upgrades)

So if you wanna get pedantic, let's go....

(I'm joking)

yes PIAA r very bright whether u get the 4500k or the 5000k ones. i've had both. onto my third or fourth pair now.

the only thing is, with these bulbs and prob all other high density bulbs is that u will have to change them quite often cos they will blow. at least 2 of mine have died just over 1.5 years.

I was told that all aftermarket light conversion/mod was illegal full stop.

A spray and leveler does not make it illegal because i have a euro accord with HID which have neither spray of leveler. If according to that dude's theory then all stock luxury euro accords would be illegal?

At the moment I have 8k HIDs on my DC5Rs for about 1 and half months now and I have never been pulled over, even though I passed by many cop cars. Maybe I am lucky but its hardly "get pulled over all the time".

Blubs do not even come close to looking like HID from far away and honestly when you get a close look of a car with bulbs it just looks rice.

Like MrThanh said if you want to do it do it properly, go all the way. HID is the ONLY way!

alot of new cars now have HIDS.. eg DC5R, Euro Accord, BMW, etc. as a factory standards; so i its not illegal for those cars.

nyways...
PIAA, Polarg, Phillips bulbs are quiet bright and it takes a while to die out

where do u get piaa in qld?... i saw diamond visions but theyre $145.... bit expensive for bulbs :P

[Willxia]

hey there every one
i'm new to this forum but i have a pair of philips diamond visions and had them on for almost half a year now, i like the look of them but they are not as bright on the road at night.
going to get HIDs for one of my next MODs coz they are more worth it than to change bulbs all the time.

hi , welcome, seen u over at clubrsx. anyways, in terms of the phillips range of bulbs, anything higher than the bluvision range would result in worse visibility, ie the crystal and diamond vision are simply for 'look' and light up the road worse than the blue visions, so u might wanna check them out before investing into some HIDs (i have a set and they serve me quite well!)

bluvision is only about 58 dollars a set including parkers as well cant go wrong if u wanna increase visibility over stock imo

*nods* Tony speaks the truth. Phillips Bluevision or Visionplus (apparently 30% increase in light output) would probably be the best from that range. Diamondvision etc doesn't emit nearly as much light/visibility...
gawddamn EK reflectors....grrr.... :evil: lol

im looking for some globes at the moment as well.....never bought globes before.

When they say input is 55/60 and output is 100/110 is this just refering to a more efficient globe?

Is it as long as the input wattage is correct for stock there shouldnt be any issues? like with overheating? will an output of 100/110 be legal? colour temp is 5000k

Any help or opinion on these would be greatly appreciated as my friend has a pair he wants to off load.

thanks

I'm currently using Philips Diamond vision 5000K and they work fine. I prefer my previous bulbs, Bosch Silver Evolution - I don't know what 'k' they were, but they gave out a white light with a hint of purple. Looked damn classy and fairly similar to the light the BMW xenons gave off.

[SoundStreamer]

im more worried about the wattage of the bulbs, ie input and output as in not burning anything...anyone see a problem?
