hey guys well im just wondering from everyones experience, tell me what was the brightest bulbs you got for your headlights cause right now, im trying to get a set that has good visibility at night and can produce a strong low beam

 

My friend just bought a set of silvina( i think thats how you spell them) bulbs from autozone...thier pretty bright... i dont know if it was just his car though...headlight outputs are diffrent...he has a 03 civic sedan.

 

The best-performing commonly available bulbs (excluding high-wattage bulbs) are probably Sylvania Xtravision's. They're relatively inexpensive and can be found at virtually any auto parts store.

 

what about sylvania SilverStars?

The SilverStars (at least the ones available in North America) are coated in order to produce the "white" look that people often like. However, in terms of actual output and performance, the uncoated Xtravisions are the best option.

 

IMHO, hands down, raybrig 5000k's. i have 5000k's in the ej8, and these are 3500k's in my eg. these are the low beams:

 

I have some GE9003SB bulbs and they're great. Like 15 bucks a pair, and they last for a year and a half or longer each set I get.

it's preference, i like the "full-spectrum" look of the silverstars on the road...

 

HIDs?

Never had a problem with them here.

 

If my current bulbs have different outputs, will they still be different if i change the bulbs to sylvanias? (left is brighter than right.)

 

hids

same here. no bulb should ever blow out, just make sure you dont touch the bulb when you install it. if you get any hand oil on the bulb, it will blow out really fast silverstars ftw!

 

brightest bulb? well, the stock bulbs are 55/60 watt hi/lo you can go to best buy, they sell a set of bulbs there made by "Nokya" its a blue tinted bulb, those give off a 90/100 watt hi/lo output. those are the ones i have in my car and i love them. also if you really wants bright bulbs, you gotta keep in mind the stock wiring harness has it's limits. then another way to get bright bulbs, is spend the money and get HIDs

Do they come out like that ricer ugly blue (eurodezigns)? I can't really tell by the pic

 

if you are looking for the best and brightest dont be shy to spend a bit of cash and buy you a set of 6000k hids they last 2000 hours plus and the brightest thing on the road (much safer) and PIMP i have bought a pair of 8000k for my integra and a 6000k for my eg hatch ill never go back to normal bulbs again

I'm interested. Do you have a link to them?

 

I love my SilverStars. Light output is better than other bulbs i've owned and they haven't burnt out within a few months like my other bulbs. They were also double the price of my old bulbs at 40 bucks a pair. but worth it. next time i have a blow out i'm gonna consider HIDs though.

 

Is it also the stock "fuzzy" headlight lens causing the really shitty light output?

 

I too love my Silverstars. Had em for a year and a half and they're still doin good.
