which one is better? anyone have any pictures with the on?

im eventually going to get HID's but this will do for now

 

oem...keeps attention to a minimum and hid's are the new rice imo

 

Find a PIAA bulb you like and buy it.

 

i got some h4 8k piaa's if ure interested...

 

The SilverStar is a decent bulb, I had them on a previous car and they were better than stock. I would recommend the PIAA Xtreme white bulb, I had them on my EM1 and they had great light output, gave a HID-ish cutoff on walls and buildings, it wad kinda cool.

 

HID's will never be rice, how could something far superior to something else be considered "rice"? Especially now when majority of cars come stock with HID's?

that be like saying porsche's are the new rice

 

So what did you do to your projector headlights?

 

nothing yet, are you intrested?

 

pictures maybe?

 

I was thinking about it. If they're in good condition, how much are you willing to sell them for?

 

Forgive him. It seems everyone on HT calls what they don't like rice, even if it nothing to do with a ricer part.

But it is true, at least where I live - lot's of ricers drive around with purple/deep blue headlights with terrible cutoffs, which does get quite annoying. But if you have 6000K or below HIDs, it's never too bad in stock housings.

 

Unless you're using your car in some 24 hour races, there will never be a need for HID's. Therefore it falls under the category of "needless upgrade", much like every other part considered to be "rice".

x2, preferably the plasma purple ones.

 

its just better tech, no doubt in my mind that all cars in the future will come with HID's stock, half of them do now anyways.

 

If u do decide on HIDs please dont buy cheap ones, make sure they are aimed properly and light is not "scattered" all over road I got blinded by a ricedout accord on the way home from class 2ngt. Not fun

 

it's the sad truth. i have hid's too...

 

I had Raybrigs in my JDM 1-pieces, on my last DA.

They weren't attention grabbing, although they had quite a bit greater light output that the stock bulbs. Appearance wise, they were a crystal white in color.

 

to answer your original question before it turned into an HID argument.. the Silverstar ULTRAs are the better oem replacement.. i use them on my civic..

 

haha thanks, yeah i think im going to get the silverstar's and then the PIAA bulbs maybe in the summer, the piaa bulbs look great but i dont have $75 dollers right now im gettin my new stock headlights and smoke amber corners friday!!

 

^Sorry I don't have pictures on my EM1 with the PIAA's. One thing to check out though, when you do get new bulbs, make sure your headlights are aimed correctly, they can become uneven over time. This happened to me because of a deer wreck and the body shop never corrected the beam aim.

 

its cool, thanks for the help, as well as everyone else

 

HIDS in a halogen headlamp is RICE... but if its a projector its fine cuz the person will not be blinding me or any other drivers when they drive by..

 

I had Silverstars on my Civic, not too bad. I liked them.
