I have a 2000 Lude. Problem is that the friggen headlight bulbs keep blowing. Went through 2 sets of Eurolights (they only lasted a month) and then decided to spend some money and buy the Kioto ones. They worked for about 6 months and decided to blow too. What the hell is up with the H1's?? I have an Integra and have had the shitty Eurolights in there for almost 2 years with no problems. Can anyone recommend a good H1 bulb that'll last?

 

Long lasting H1 bulb? That's an oxymoron. I've had my PIAA x-treme whites for almost a year now. (knocks on wood). PIAAs are expensive though. Raybrig also makes some good ones.

Don't expect any aftermarket bulbs to last more than year or so. Bulbs are a pain in the ***. I'm going back to stock once these blow. Invest in HIDs or stay stock. Bulbs are a waste of $$$ IMO.

 

Allow me to introduce you to http://www.fosmo.com If anyone has what you need at a great price per bulb-they do. I have Osram (Sylvania) - the OEM supplier to Honda for H1 - Super 30+ 55 watt bulbs and they last just fine. I still say the real trick is keeping your hands completely away from the glass. That means you use NEW Clean cotton cloths and rubber gloves for the install. This company also sells Philips in the same high brightness form. The Osram bulbs are $7.50 each shipped from England. No hidden charges. You get a nice package with the bulbs in cardboard sleeves. Takes just under a week from order to delivery.
Hope this gives you some good help

Anyone know some good bulbs for a very blue light output? I need H4. I dont want to spend a whole lotta money, under $45-50. Right now I have Nokya's, but its like one minute they have a bluish tint then the next they're pure white. Thanks. And PS, I better not hear one comment about blue non-HID bulbs being rice.

 

Check out http://www.fosmo.com--they have all Honda cars covered with multiple possibilities for bulbs. Keep in mind that Blue may be illegal in your state. The only exception would be if the car came with them originally.

 

Ive got a 98 SH and I have had the same problem with those stupid bulbs. I have gone through about 4 sets including the low and high beams. I think that if these blow I will go back to stock as well (or HID)

 

bulbs from http://www.autobulbdepot.com have a 3-month warranty. The catz galaxy bulbs are beautiful, I might add.
