anyone use em?

my halogens are crap on my 96 ex...and im lookin for some etter light output and better looking...does yellow have any real advantage output/visibility wise?

or should i just stick to hyper whites?

i dont wanna spend over like 40 bucks....

 

i dunno if u get slyvannia bulbs but those r nice

 

ive never had silverstars last more than 3 months for me....and at 20 a bulb...i think i need a different option...

Hyper whites are good until it rains....I had silverstars which looked good..but like in rain i cant see ****...now i got GE Nighthawks and they work great. put them both in my 97 hatch and also my girl's 02 em and they work wonders especially in rain

 

hmmm i was about to buy some also. but i just saved up for some hids hahaha

 

PIAA hyper white

 

too damn expensive...

are the ge nighthawks a regular halogen bulb? and i believe those are the ones you can get ay wal mart?

 

PIAA has the best bulbs... and there cheap too. I have a pair of yellow password jdm bulbs on my 96 hatch. I got them about two weeks ago and they are still going good. But PIAA bulbs last forever and the colors dont dim. Their purple and yellow bulbs are amazing, and you can get them for under $50.

 

where can i get piaa bulbs for cheap?

Do they fit JDM Housing ???

 

You can get those bulbs cheap at http://www.rallylights.com ... whatever you do never buy any bulbs off ebay. These PIAA bulbs are the best and top quality. Honestly at night they look like a cheap HID system. Thats pretty good for Xenon bulbs.

 

I've tried PIAA and am currently using GE Nighthawks. The nighthawks put out more light for me; i can see more with them. While the PIAA looked nice color wise, because of the coatings it doesnt put out as much light as the nighthawks.

 

Thats true but it depends what color you get them because the PIAA hyper white are the brightest bulbs on the market. The color temperature is what it all depends on.

 

I am trying to get a HID conversion kit who sells the best kit for the price?

simple physics, the more mediums (coatings) that the light has to go through the lesser the lumen output of the bulb. Period. PIAA hyper white are not the brightest bulbs on the market (though they may very well be some of the whiter looking bulbs because of the coatings they use). They output far less lumens than the GE Nighthawks do. Just because the color temperature has a higher kelvin does not mean the bulb has more output. Color temperature is independant of the lumen output of a bulb; they are not the same.

 

I know... but what i said was that if you get a 3000k bulb... it cant possibly be as bright as a 6000k hyperwhite bulb. And its not because its a higher kelvin rating... its because 6000k is about in the middle of the spectrum, meaning its the whitest, brightest bulb with the least coatings. Therefor the color temperature makes a huge difference in the bulbs brightness.

 

A lot of people get brightness misconstrued with how much light a bulb outputs (lumens) though often it is used universally. The reason i said what I said is just because a bulb is 'brighter' ie; it has a higher kelvin rating then bulb B, does not mean it outputs more light.
