Default *#$king nokya bulbs!!!

I put a set of these in my low beams about 3/4 months ago, when driving home tonite i noticed one was blown, so when i got home i took it out and it had completely shattered, so i checked the other and it was deformed with bubbles in the glass, so i took them out and put the stock yellow ones back in. I also replaced the hi-beams about the same time as the lows, with xenon hiper whites and theyre fine. Was the fact that these pieces of crap had blue glass the reason they melted and one completely shattered, and what are the best non coloured bulb for a pure white light...sylvannas??? If so where can i get them on-line?..........Thanks.

Get rid of those ricer bulbs. A good upgrade is the Sylvania 9006 conversion. Do a search and see the light!

They are garbage and well known for exploding inside your headlight housing. I had some Hiper bulbs a while ago... after only a week of use, one of them exploded. I got a replacement, and after a week of use, one burnt out. They waste 80W each of your car's power to put out almost as much light as your stock 55W bulbs. Real HID's are more efficient than halogens, the fake-HID bulbs are not. Put in some good halogens and see something you haven't seen for a long time... the road!

If you have an Integra, do the 9005 -> 9006 conversion. It's pretty nice.

I have some PIAA lights and they seem to work pretty well. They light up the road a lot better than the other crappy blue light bulbs i had. Also there's a 1 year warranty on these so thats pretty good

bihybrid vip's or whitebeams...also koito whitebeams which are the same bulb as the bihybrid, koito makes polarg who makes bihybrid...if you clean them with an alcohol swab or towelette, you will have no problems. ive these bulbs for a looong time and no issues.

The same way. Just convert the high beam bulb to fit the low beams and pop them in.

the light from the hyper wjites in the hi beams is excellent plus the bulbs are fine, possibly because i dont use the hi beams that often, i've read a few threads on the 9005 -> 9006 conversion and i think i'll go that route..thanks!

I did that my first time. Thank god they were only $25 bulbs. I put them in the Accord we used to have to and a grease resedue touched the bulb. Lasted about 1 month.

Sorry, but I used to be in the ricer stage too... then I learned that spending 30 dollars on **** bulbs isnt modifying my car. Those bulbs are nothing but a hastle and cop magnets...

Dont waste your money, put the stock ones in... put your money where it counts.. the motor

Put in stock bulbs. Aftermarket bulbs are a waste of money.
