Alright guys, first off I'm a broke college student, so that means no real HID kit for me anytime soon. But I want something thats a little brighter and looks like HIDs. I got Silvanya Silverstar bulbs right now and they don't look much different from stock to me, PIAA are a little to rich for my blood (can you tell i did search first, before i posted this).

So can people show me their cheap *** bulbs and how they look. I personally like Nokya bulbs, I had them in my integra, but i want something new. If anyone has pics of the Nokya Artic Purple in their car, i'm curious to see how those look.

Anyways lets see them.......... and please no "just save for HIDs" comments.

 

anyone?

 

9005 silverstars

 

Honestly, for the amount of difference it makes, I wouldn't bother. The 9005 conversion is good, but in my experience, those bulbs burn out quick and you're out $$ every few months when they do.

Save the $ you'd be wasting on this kinda stuf towards HID's, they're well worth it.

that's what i got in my teg...they're a lot brighter than stock and don't look ricey at all.

 

I had 9005's , but there nothing like hid's

 

Anything other than 9005 silverstars????????????????????

I have a Civic now and i can't rock 9005s, plus i have silverstars now and I hate them....... $40 and look a tiny bit whiter than stock, shitty in my opinion.

 

once you go hid, you can never go back

 

Those silver stars are going to be the brightest/whitest you'll get. If you want brighter halogen. You'll just get hotter temperature bulbs and more blue in the light
9005 is 1700 Luminous compared to 1000 to the one you have now.
I'm rocking H4 silver stars on my car and they're like 20% better than stock.

 

install a relay harness w/ the silverstars. thats proabably gonna look pretty bright.

 

if u just want bulbs, without conversion to 9005...i love the toucan eurolite plasma...they are really nice...but i do have a 9005 silverstar conversion at the moment, thanks to work, and its nice and bright

 

how do u convert h4 to 9005

 

dont think its easy..h4 bulbs have lots of light, and u can get them in some great looks..i wouldnt want to change them...

The bulbs I've had in my accord:
PIAA: $60
Nokya: $30
Raybrig: $45
Some ion ones: $20
Stock ones (b/c i just got sick of the other ones): $20
Total: $175

HID's off ebay: $230.

 

I don't have any pics of Nokya Arctic Purples, but i've seen them in a friends eg, and they would be what I recommend if you want a HID look alike. They were they most colourful bulbs i've ever seen that actually put out a great output, unlike some stupid Cuzo's I had that were crazy blue, but I couldn't see ****.... I'd definantly recomend the arctic purples... If I wasn't planing on HIDs, they'd be the next bulbs I would get

yeah i hear you on that...i've changed bulbs so many times i coulda gotten HID's by now

 

I have 9006 silverstars in my civic and i love them, improvement over the 'super blues' i had, and a hella improvement over the stocks.

looks a lot like HIDs from further away i will take pics tomorrow maybe

 

how did you get 9006s in your civic?

 

If you want the HID look then pick up a set of PIAA "Xteme White" bulbs. The light had a very white appearance with just a slight hint of blue. Looked good and had a surprisingly good light output for a blue bulb.

That's how they come stock, at least in the 88-91s

 

Nothing is better than the real thing.
