i was wondering if yall think the sylvania cool blues or whatever theyre called are a good improvement from the standard 9006 bulb or should i look into doing the 9006->9005 conversion? im basically looking to improve the amount and quality of light without dishin out for an HID kit. thanks.

 

in the end.. you'll be getting the hid's... just wait and see...

 

haha at this rate i wont have money for hid's in a long while, gotta save for photography gear. just looking to improve the light a bit.

werd, i know what you mean... save up man... it'll be worth it.. once you go hid, you'll never go back... my next car MUST HAVE hid's i tell ya!

 

haha thats what i hear. maybe if i get in a front end accident that isnt my fault i can get the jdm front with hid! until then, either of the two will have to suffice.

don't we all hope that happens?

 

i have found that the cool blue and othe white light junk most often gives less light, i have ended up going back to standard halogen after almost sliding into a pole after not being able to see the road. Hopefully will be able to soon get some H.I.D.'s

 

here's my .02

if you're not willing to spend the $$ on HID then your next best option in terms of more light output is def the 9005 conversion. i used the ss's and the coolblues in 9005 conversion. the ss's put out more white light but burn out too damn quickly. the cool blues are def a better value...1/2 the $$ of the ss's. they aren't blue at all but they look more yellow than the ss's. both are a def improvement over stock 9006. i had the ss's for about 8 months and i tried the cool blues and they lasted for almost a year and 1/2.

maybe ck out those 9012 bulbs. supposedly a direct fit into the 9006 socket. more light output then the 9005 conversion too...and they have 9006 bulb life..sounds like a pretty good bet..havent seen them myself..but i know theyre out there.

 

oem or HIDs are your ONLY choices. hah

 

lol, i like my silverstars...but yes the plan is HIDs (in the end)

 

thanks for the info guys. like i said before hid isnt an option for me right now, so im gonna look into those 9012 bulbs mentioned above, and if not that ill try the 9005 conversion.
