Default Best halogen headlight bulb?

My sister wants some brighter/better headlights bulbs for her 99 civic. I told her I will clean up her headlights, but she still wants brighter bulbs she said. So I figured I'd ask you guys what you would suggest for her to get.

I finally found a link on some reviews and that's what they were saying as well! Looks like they're only ~$45 too! Wish I would've bought those instead of my PnP HID kit. Shame on my past ignorance..

Meh, your telling me. My DDM ballast just took a dump, so I may go that route instead.


Get the 3m kit, and clean her lights up too!
also, check how they are aimed. I aimed my buddy's sisters car, ran the 3m kit on the lights and it was night and day.

I paid like $160 for my PNP kit. It's gonna break my heart to just ditch it hahah.
Yes, I'll definitely be cleaning up her headlights and then making sure they're aligned good.

Maybe it wasn't 160.. I thought it was, but I went to the site and I think it was more like $80. I think $160 was at a different site haha. They're sooo much better than the stock bulbs though. My headlights are smoked/tinted/whatever and at night I could literally not see. I actually like my HIDs, but whatever. I've never been high beam flashed by anyone or anything either.

I LOVED my DDM's. The best PNP kit I have ever owned, and have ever seen.

Bearly any glare at all, in over 2 years that I have owned them, I have never had high beams flashed at me, and never had people get mad at me at the store, like my last kit.

I have come agaisnt people with the high beams on, I turn mine on, and theirs turn off real quick.

I love mine too. I don't think they create much glare at all really. I guess I got what I paid for
