Don't you have to upgrade your harness to run those? I also heard that the higher wattage bulbs can run to hot and melt the lenses.

Either way, I'm running the Silverstars after one of my co-workers picked up a set. Both been running them for over a year now, and wouldn't go back.

Would rather run Yellow's, I ran them in my boy's 92 Prelude for a while. But before that it was cool blues and Piaa's. Raybrigs are awesome too.

8000k HID

be careful what you buy because if the wattage is too high it is very possible you can fry your harness...

Those are only 55/65 watt bulbs. Their output compares to 100/90w bulbs.

Xenon isn't a halogen gas.


after going thru HIDs, polargs, piaa, nokyas, hyper indusries, i use regular $8 Sylvania 9003 bulbs. they're oem replacements, won't melt my wires, won't wash out in the rain/snow/fog like blue tinted bulbs, and visability is fine when properly aimed with my depo fogs.

Raybrig is the aftermarket division of STANLEY Japan. Stanley makes light bulbs and headlight/tailight lenses for many automobile manufacturers in Japan. Raybrig makes high performance lighting products for professional racing as well as street use. These HYPER BULBS are made with a different filament material and a different inert gas which provides more white light output than conventional bulb designs yet draws the same amount of current as the standard bulb.

bulbs over 75 w for low beam will fry the harness. the harness can not handle that. i know from experience.

Go with a HID retrofit if u got the cash.
