    More Light from Headlights?

    I don't know much about headlights but I was searching around and found this thread. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...t=91298&page=3

    I own a BB6 Prelude and the headlight light output is piss poor. I have stock headlights with (Which seems to me) pretty standard bulbs.

    I want more light at night. I'm not too fussed about colour of the light just more of it. I've ruled out a HID kit because of cost and I'm not too handy with what looks like to me a very complicated job to fabricate some retrofits.

    Are Phillips CrystalVision my best bet? And which bulb would I need?

    You will get less light with those blue bulbs. Go for the Plus 50 bulbs.

    HIDs don't need retro fitting. Only neet to mount the ballast and all else should be plug & play

    they dont need retrofitting but other driver will flash you since the glare gets in their eyes....retrofitting is the proper way to do it

    I've experimeneted alil on Halogen globes and the best i've come across without extending wattages is the Philips X-treme.

    They only make H4 and H7 size.

    iv gone from mtecs or phillips then back to mtec (hids)
    and it looks great and gives you much more light...
    if you do go with hids remember to aim your headlights down to avoid being a nuisance to others on the road.
    i know jack all about cars and i still managed to fit my hids on

    Yeah I don't really want to be a hazard on the road with glaring lights...

    What does fitting a HID kit involve anyway? (This is without projectors/retrofitting?..). Do you just put the bulb in place of the H1 bulb? that I have (I think its a H1)
