Maybe.

Just be careful to choose bulbs that aren't too hot. You should avoid any bulbs that draw more than 55W. More watts will produce more light, but also more heat, which could damage the wirharness, lens, etc.

Good luck finding what you want.

i was just messin with you, those lights are pretty cheap for how much ive seen people pay for them, but they **** me off for some reason, i would never modify anything on my car that has to do with my safety, just the fact that i trust factory lights more than anything, and i wouldnt want to be driving down the road with my flourescent headlights and all of a sudden a bulb blows, and then your gonna get pulled or just risk your own safety

I don't know but you should get a colored look. A friend has some yellow Eurodezigns on his Accord and says you can see a lot better than with stock and they are bright as hell. They seem to last a while too as he said they lasted him 2 years and through 2 differnt vehicles one which was in a bad wreck then he moved them over to his next one and he said after 2 years one burnt out.

I don't know if you can even see as well as stock with the blue ones but it should give you some color.

I'm running Eurolite Fusions and they are a lot bluer than stock but not as blue as some I have seen or quite as blue as HIDs but not too much off.


It would be a good time to do the 9005 conversion. Thats what I did with mine and seems to be a little brighter.


Also check out TwiztedOzone.com and see how much he can get them for he doesn't list them on his site so call him or email him.


I have never heard of Texon bulbs until now and I am a big headlight fan and have gone through quite a few sets.

I have a picture of some Eurolite Crystals compared to some Farenheit super whites somewhere let me see if I can find it. The Farenheits are a little whiter than stock but basically the same color just brighter.

I couldn't tell a differnce between the Crystals and the Fusions I switched to looking for more color.

The Farenheits seemed slightly brighter though but not as much as it appears the car much have been at a slight angle. When both bulbs are the same Eurolite Crystal they didn't look too blue but looked quite blue when comparing to stock.


Here are the pics.

Here is the stock compared to the Farenheit super white


Here is the Crystals on the right and the Farneheit on the left

Oh yeah here is one with the Eurolite Crystals on the left and Eurolite Fusions on the right. I know these don't have anything to do with EuroDezigns I'm just showing you some other options. I have seriously thought about going with the green Eurodezigns bulbs but haven't yet and don't know that I will as I like these a fair amount.

I think Eurolite will last longer, but if you want the HID look go with XD5 (5800K) or GP thunder (7500K) on ebay. They look pretty awesome, just make sure that they are stock wattage. You could go with the Sylvania Silverstars, heard mixed reviews some say great, some say it blows out too early.

I'm not a fan of the Silverstars as they don't really have much color to them but they are good if you just want the white look.

Yes make sure whichever you choose are stock wattage unless you upgrade your wiring harness. I'm pretty sure Eurodezigns are stock wattage.

As for Eurolites lasting longer I don't know. I tried there Super Plasma's and went through a set of low beams every 2 months or so and finally but stock bulbs back in. The Crystals I ran for a month or two then took them out to replace them with the Fusions they were still working fine when I pulled them. I just have them sitting in the glove box in the case now. The Fusions I have had for several months and they haven't burnt out. A friend had the High wattage crystals in her van and they lasted almost a year. I think the Super Plasma's are just bad bulbs but since then I have been weary of the life of Eurolite products. I keep using them though.


If you decided to go with Eurolites Cardomain has a good selection of their bulbs and buy.com has the fusions and I think crystals cheaper you can either buy there or pricematch at cardomain. I have ordered from Cardomain each time except for the Super plama's I got locally.

I have tried the purple and the blue ones in the '03 Ranger I used to own, and they were deffinately NOT as bright as stock bulbs. My truck used a single bulb for both high and low beams, and with the colored bulbs (exact same ones you're asking about) I had to use my high beams to get the same light output of my stock low beams. They were, however, very colorful.

Check these out: http://www.hirheadlights.com

While they are considerably more $$$ than the ones you were asking about ($60 for 2), they have really good light output but with less coloring.

Luminics, I believe they are high wattage bulbs. i ordered a pair for my foglights (H11) on the box its claims 55w, but on the actually bulb it says 85w. Don't know which 1 to believe, so I didn't bother putting them in. XD5 is pretty nice, I bought them for my cousins maxima (I was pretty impressed).

I rock HiRs all day long because I don't care about the color, I care about the performance.

And HID kits will give you mad glare.

So you either get painted bulbs with less light, brighter halogens with stock light color, HID kit with bad glare and light focus, or a retrofit which is the holy god of automotive lighting if your car didnt come with HID already.
