aright, my experience with headlights is none. anyone tell me good bulbs that are slightly brighter than factory bulbs but still last a good amount? i head silverstars are just for show and don't last that long =/.

and could u please give exact bulb names, seeing that i have no idea what you'll be talking about if u just say sylvania silverstar's

I have had silverstars going on 2 years. They're not for show. Brighter and street legal ftw. Any of the 9003 models are fine.

I've been using PIAA Starwhites for a year or so and love them....they give off a nice white light and are pretty bright imo.

well how are they in the rain? when its raining out, objects tend to reflect more poorly and i dont want this to be the case if i get "hyper white/blue" headlights

im not risking my life nor my girlfriends (since shes always with me) just to see better when its not raining out or during the snow

I have them on the civic and cr-v they work awesome!

i was just recommended osram silverstars cuz a lot of other hyper white bulbs are just coated bulbs and don't put out that much more light than stock. on the other hand, these osram silverstars i was recommended are said to put out 300 lumens more light than stock

ne1 confirm?

SkoundrelUSA

I have the Osrams. Waste of money. I could've bought some $10 Sylvanias and not tell the difference. Same goes for the Sylvania Silverstars

amej8

well what im worried about the most is any bulb handling in the rain. how did the osrams handle in the rain compare to any other ones?

what u using now and how do they handle in the rain?

SkoundrelUSA

I still use the Osrams and I can't see well in the rain. I'm not sure if its the bulbs or the angle of my headlights, but for the money they suck IMO

well im def considering ur experience with em. thanks for the input

EM1FORLIFE.

Get it from ebay it's cheap.

amej8

its still like $30-35 (inc s/h) and thats just way too much IMO for bulbs.

SkoundrelUSA - so what bulbs what would u recommend? could u specific names?

[QUOTE=amej8]its still like $30-35 (inc s/h) and thats just way too much IMO for bulbs.

there was these dark blue headbulbs my brother had for his integra before i had my car he bought them for like 10$ it stopped working 2 months later.

amej8

okay no ones answering this question:

<u> How do whatever bulbs you've had experience with handle in the rain??</u>

im not willing to sacrifice visibility in the rain for nicer lookin headlights when im goin down the road

SkoundrelUSA

I have not had a set of bulbs where I was like "THESE ARE AWESOME!" So I couldn't tell you lol. HIDS are the only things where I was really impressed

well the thing is i dont have the time, money, and knowledge to do a retrofit so i just want brighter bulbs. and im def not ricing out and gettin halo's, projectors, etc.

agh, i guess ill just have to invest in foglights first then get brighter bulbs

ZipTieGUy

stop being apussy and just get some hyper white/blue light bulbs. they wont burn out unless you touch them with your fingers

amej8

lol *****? im sorry i care more about safety than being able to see more at night when its dry and looking cool while im driving down the road. im sorry i actually want to be cautious before i buy something and not careless. so sorry

and while im here, why not quick bein a dick and not waste 10 seconds of ur life posting the most useless reply

My starwhites are fine in the rain. No problems at all.

EK k kay

The silverstars are brighter and whiter than the stock bulbs, but by no means are they any better in the rain. My oem fog lights help when it's raining, not a whole lot, but definitely more than if you were to upgrade your headlights with something other than an HID retrofit.

crashN2u

I want to add to my post that I have the sylvania silverstars not osrams. They're great in the rain. Fog is another story.

amej8

aright well im gonna go with the 9003 h4 piaa's. just need to make sure they'll fit stock 99 ex coupe housing

anyone recommend any bulbs for high beams?

HXvtec

you can also replace the housing with one that has a higer voltage. btw you stole my yoda damnit.
