Need advise for highbeam

garyxchan · 05-23-2008, 08:09 PM

I wanna get a pair of 2500k yellow bulb for high beam
I was thinking either this

or this

the piaa one is pretty expensive, and I am not sure about the quality
I bought piaa 4300 K white bulb for low beam before, It's not what I expected;not white enough.....

anyone used these two kinds of bulbs before?

um HIDs

***splew*** · 05-23-2008, 08:20 PM

if you want 4300K, halogen headlights can't do that, they just look like blue christmas lights. Get HIDs if you want 4300K. As far as yellow high beams, why do you want them? They don't produce anymore light than stock and have worse contrast, hence worse visibility. The only thing they are for is looks, and IMO they are rice.

I'm running Luminics 2500k 9005's & I

the way they look & am mildly surprised @ how bright they are.

***t85konrad*** · 05-23-2008, 08:26 PM

well i dont have HIDs that i would love to buy but i am running silverstares and they are pretty damn bright

2500k for the high beam will look awesome.

02civicsi · 05-23-2008, 08:41 PM

For some reason they didn't photograph well in that parking garage. Trust me the stock bulbs look like poo next to these.

02civicsi · 05-23-2008, 09:32 PM

garyxchan · 05-25-2008, 03:59 PM

anymore advise before I get the bulbs?

Type Si · 05-25-2008, 04:10 PM

I have the Nokya's and they work fine. Plus they cost so much less than the PIAA's

Lok0622 · 05-26-2008, 08:21 PM

I have the Nokya 2500k for a long while now and they never died on me and looks very good I would definitely recommend

spicy · 07-07-2008, 04:42 AM

SIvaeb · 07-07-2008, 05:23 AM

all that yellow is from the light bulb only? it looks like the 'lense' is also yellow, or is it clear white.

can you show DRL (at day) and a picture of the highbeams (at night)

its the yellow bulb that makes the lens look yellow
(this is the same if the bulb were blue)

if i wanted HIDs in the high beams and i already have a kit for low beams do i need a second kit, a new kit, or can i just run them off the kit i already have?
