Lights

[Northy]

i want to get some of those white lights for my HI/Low beams are they just standard globes? or are there different ones for different cars?

[shaohaok]

they are direct replacement bulbs. the main beams are a H7 size and the hi-beams are a HB3(i can't remember if its 3 or 4) size. the whiter hi-beams are a bit harder to source locally. stay away from the cheapo brands at autobarn coz they dun look good and dun last long.

also try not to go above a colour temperature of 4500-5000k. the higher up that figure goes, the bluer the light is. and blue component of the light spectrum scatters earlier and more easily which results in not being able to see as far and accurately as u should esp near the top edge of the beam pattern. philips diamondvision and crystalvision bulbs are pretty good.

hope that helps.

they are h7 low beam and h4 for the fogs, i suggest go to auto joy, as they do 100w miricle white, no trace of yellow. and then put white led parking lights in. i didn't bother changing my high beams. (if you change the rest they are bright enough to look white)

they sell for about 52$ a pair. and last longer than factory

the phillips that i purchased were supposed to be white???they were the blue vision ones and they looked white if you had white spray paint sprayed in your eyes. 70$ is also a rip off for yellow kinda white bulbs. they did last long. i changed my bulbs in the 30mins after i bought the car. phillips only get 2\5 spuds with a downgraded mark to 1\5 spuds for being yellow.

the bluevision ones are crap. they only look marginally whiter than stock bulbs.

although i must add that they are the road legal versions

[DANZZT231]

Diamondvision is good.

[luzinit]

phillips diamond vision and crystal vision, although they are more expensive than the blue vision range, actually result in decreased visibility compared to stock bulbs.

so, when upgrading lights, are you doing it for the look? or do you want better visibility?

[DANZZT231]

Wow, is that true? Last time i was in my friend's civic that was fine. Maybe because he got relay.

[Northy]

i want the true white look without loosing visibility, so if i have to sacrifice visibility to get the white look then im not interested anymore (its 6am hope that makes sence)

[influx]

my lights are rated true white they have absolutley nil yellow, they are also 100W as opposed to the normal 55w ones, and because of the glass and electrode setup they put out the same visability/light infront of you as 150w globes. it is like driving in daylight. the oncoming motorists don't flash me with these lights in either.

influx: which lights are these? I may have to invest in a pair....

[Northy]

2nd that i want some now lol

[P’¢¡šT]

Sounds like MTEC. You can get them off ebay among other places. PIAA are the bomb if you can get your hands on them.

I have Philip BlueVision. They ain't blue, but they are closer to white and good for visibility.

[trd_141]

i bought some off e-bay

they are called GP thunders

they are a really nice blue and have great light for visability

they only cost me 60bux shipped from the states for a set of H7 & HB4

They have a colour temp of 7500k so that is a nice blue

[E-Gene]

I'm using PIAA bulbs that are 4700k temp. Very nice, quite white but not excessive.

[lite]

we need pics for all the different bulbs you guys are using.

influx, where's auto joy?

[shaohaok]

i've been hunting high and low for this article. used to be on a website but can't seem to find out.

but anyway here it is

http://ken-gilbert.com/wrx/lights/BadBlueBulbs.pdf

its a good read that should help u decide if u want some looks or visibility

[influx]

http://www.autojoy.com.au or they are in castle towers or parramatta

the blue ones are usually not adr compliant.

and the police are more likely to pull you over but they do look so good used to have them on my satria.

[Sport1vo]

Phillips Blue Vision are good and legal. I used them on my GT and on my Starlet, and now on the Stivo (almost their!).

They are clear and do not decrease visability.

hi!!!

i just wanna know what kinda brands are good!!!

such as PIAA... philips.... etcetc

ppl said PIAA have longer lasting colours...

is that true??

["RuNx"]

Corey just go "HID"!!!! :D I wasted that much money on crappy aftermarket bulbs that only last minimum of 3months and are never really that good!!! I also had a "PHILLIPS-BLUE VISION KIT" HI-beam,LO-beam and parkers and it was absolute SH!7!! Took it straight back to where i bought it my stock lights were brighter!!!

Since i have HID in my car i would NEVER go back to normal bulbs EVER!!!!!! :D

I currently use Narva plus 50 globes for low beam. Its a normal H7 halogen globe rated a 55w but it has 50 % more winds in the filement so its heaps brighter then stock without the extra heat from higher wattage globes.

For high beam Narva only do a plus 30 in HB3.

i wish i could afford HIDs... whats the cheapest they go for these days?
