High Beams

msjwild3 · 12-23-2007, 10:08 PM

Now that I have HID's installed, the high beams look so yellow. What should i replace those with? I was jsut thinking of getting silverstar ultras or cool blues or something like that? What is the best option for that? Thanks

Or how about PIAA's? Everyone says these and Ultras dont last long but these are for my high beams and people normally dont use these as much so they should last longer. Any opinions here?

i have had my nokya arctic white bulbs in for months now. they have a blue tint to them and they are hella bright, when off during the day, they make the highbeam area in the headlight look deep blue.

Put HID's in your highbeams too.
If it's a colour issue, you'll need to get some sort of ebay blue bulbs to match your 6000k HID's colour temp.

Well i want something whiter or bluer. Not HID's. Then that kills my DRL which is illegal if you don't ahve them. I just want something more white or blueish to look better with my HID's.

Going with HID's in your brights with your current setup would mean you would never want to flash people, and also if you turn them on, you will have to keep them on for at least a few minutes or you're just going to kill the bulbs. Also, it's illegal to not have DRL in Canada?

If you decide to go with yellow foglights, you can get some fat luminics yellow bulbs. They look nicer IMO, also matches yellow foglights, and a nice contrast to your HID's.

Ya all vehicles must have DRL's in Canada to pass safety. Plus its the law here. I bought my car from Grand Forks North Dakota (07 Si) and it already has DRL's, thank god because I would have to pay to get them installed before i could register it.
