What are some ways i can get better light without going with HIDs? What halogen bulbs should i look into? And are there any other ways to get more light?

 

Sylvania
PIAA
Luminics
Polarg

There's qyite a few companies that make a decent looking upgraded bulb that looks better than stock and give off more light. I still have Polarg on my Accord for the past 2.5 years, not once have they blown.

 

raybrig 5000K's had them in my truck,
i have 3500K's in the eg for 2 years

My friend sells Headlight Booster Kits which will greatly save your stock harness from melting/shortening out while using those high Wattage bulbs.

Here is a link to it:

I had the kit on my car and it made a WORLD of a difference. I also used Phillips 85 Watt bulbs (no color).

I was right next to a Lexus IS300, with HIDs on, and it was ALMOST just as bright.

Is it pretty much upgrading to a bigger wiring harness?

 

^Yeah it is and so by doing that, you'll be able to put higher wattage bulbs in. As high as 140watts for low beams.

I HAD the booster kit harness on my car with aftermarket bulbs (Phillips 85Watts) but now I have a set of HIDs.

They go for $60 a kit. Well worth the investment if you want to stay stock and not get HIDs

 

Def. go PIAA Xtreme Force...I have had 2sets of them...one in my old car (totaled) and a set in my new car...Closest to HID that I have ever used! Best $70 ever spent!

did it ever die on you? this one guy i knows buys those cheap *** ebay **** and it keeps on popping on him

 

Sylvania Silverstars are pretty bright, i think they have a newest version thats even brighter.

 

silverstars dont last too long tho. they even say on their site that the average life is about a year. my gf had it on her accord and right at about a year they popped!

im sporting my own gold bulbs that i sale but as far as better lights for a good price that last, sylvannia xtra vision will get my vote.

Did what ever die on me? PIAA Bulbs are made to last...as long as you dont touch them or get water in your headlight (like most xenon bulbs), they will last forever...I know a couple of guys that have had their PIAA's for 2-3 years without them fading or blowing out! Great investment!

 

Ive gone through a few sets of PIAA headlights, but I also think it may have been due to the harness.

 

Silverstars are the only legal option.

I like em a lot.

 

Philips Blue Vision.

They're 4000k an the color is nearly white. Click the link above and look at the last picture. Real Xenon is 4500k. And the best: This bulbs are 12V and 60/55W, not that 100W-sh*t. Quality is very good and a long lifetime guaranteed

Btw: Hi everyone, this is my 1st post @ HT.

 

Im running Nokya Arctic Purple Pro-Halogen Light Bulb, bright white with a touch of purple.

Is that harness really necessary though? I thought the bulbs 'convert' the stock wattage to a higher wattage. If that's the case, then the oem harness should be fine. Again, I'm asking though, I'm not positive.

 

I'm running some yellow bulbs I picked up off ebay a few years ago. Night and day difference. Especially in the snow/rain/fog. Yellow doesn't reflect as much as blue does so you get better visibility during shitty weather. And they're legal on top of that. I don't remember the company that makes 'em but they came with a lifetime warranty.
