Nokya Bulbs

I just wanted to let everyone know that I grabbed a set of Nokya bulbs for my si coupe at Indy Auto Parts while I was filling up my nitrous bottle. They were something like $30. I know I am probably going to get flammed like crazy for saying this, but they are totally worth it. It is a "simulated" hid look, which I know most of you will say is rice, but I really was not getting them for the look. I plan on doing a retro eventually, but I can't fork over that cash right now. So in the mean time I installed these and they make a world of difference (for $30). Its not amazing don't run out and get them expecting to see everything everywhere, but it was a great step up from the stock lights. Just the color being more white really seems to help at night. Iused to always have to drive with the high beams on, but now I find these do the trick for the most part.

i used to run nokya in my previous cars and always workd out pretty good. they tend to burn out kinda easy usually bout 7-12 months down the road bt good result for the money. i did run polarg in a prelude i had and those bulbs were amazing.

Good to know. Even if they only lasted for about 4 months I would say they are worth it. Definitely going to hold me over until I can come up with some $ for a retro.

yeah I believe its a 9005 when it is on DRL it barely uses any Watts having them not appear bright. but when you turn on highs it will go full watts. someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong and i stand corrected if I am

so if this happens, and the things burst, any chance of severe damage? i dont think that would be covered under any warranty, but would it void warranty?
