Default LIGHTING FOR MY EK

Hello Everyone -

Just wondering what kind of bulb everyone is using for the headlights. From my experience when I first got my car I have a set of PIAAS (forgot what model) and that POS only lasted me for about 6 months. Then putting my stock ones back on and they work ever since but are kind of dimm. Now i am looking for a new set of bulb that would go with my new CTR headlights.

I am looking for something that is Cheap and Bright.

Punctuation homie...learn it, use it.

I have always bragged on my 15 dollar GE 9003SB bulbs from Wal Mart. Cheap as hell, they produce bright, white light and have lasted me over a year. They're les than 15 dollars for a pair of them.

Is the light actually white and not blue? How are they in the rain? What is the wattage on them?

Thanks for the reply. I think I will go pick up a set of those Wal Mart ones.

As for HID it is too much for me!

Silverstars are good.. i've had mine for a while now too and they're holding up.. the light is an off-white color.. not gold, but not yellow either.. bright off-white. at least to me .. maybe it's because i had my PIAA driving lights on at the same time too..

I have some Nokkia (something like that) 8500 wattage bulbs. They're REALLY bright and work great for me, its a whiteish/purplelish color, the work real well for me.
