Default NOKYA ARTIC blue or PURPLE BULBS?

anyone used these before? how's the output of lights? see ok or can't see ****?

did they fry any harness? are they still 51-55w input and 80w output?

How about HIPER INDUSTRY XENON hyperwhite bulbs?

I used the hyper bulbs once......they really sucked, burnt out after 2 months....i talked to some guys at a shop and they said APC super whites were pretty good. I don't have any experience with the other two though. hopes this helps....

This is what you have to do:

1. Get the Philips HID conversion kit.
2. Stick with stock or Phillips Blue Vision or Sylvania Cool Blue

They are the only options.
equals a lot of money that i don't have

If you convert the 9005 to fit into 9006 housing, would it fry the harness or melt the chrome housing?

I have HID's on the S4 (stock). On the ITR I have 9005 Cool Blues modded to fit in the 9006 socket. Blue light just decreases your ability to see. Cool Blues aren't yellow like stock, but they are white.

We put the Artic purples in GSRgrrls car.
They have a nice color, but are very dim compared to the factory bulbs.
(We switched back to the factory bulbs now)

I have the Artic Whites both high and low beams. Had them for over a year. No probs. I do want to do the high beam trick in the low beam socket however. They are nice bulbs. But definatly not the real thing. But, as close to the look as i have seen. Grab some on Ebay for $20

Nah, I'm not really harpin on the guy. I understand some people have different tastes, and I can point and laugh all I want, but it's their cars and they can do whatever they want. Compromising safety and performance for looks....that's a little different.

I have the Arctic blue's on my black gsr, I think they complement the look at night very nice.

I am thinking of saving my HID's but ITR cam's are a little more important to me right now.

Some people say they are ricey but I think the stock lights w/ clear corners look silly. IMHO. I enjoy the look of the lights.

Heh heh, funny thing. I had a set of the lame *** blue blubs, 80/100. my lows burnt out, so i modded the 100 w hi's to fit. worked really good for a couple of days, then the whole headlight plug burnt. if you mod the low watt bulbs they should be fine! just DON"T use Hiwatt bulbs for this.

They were not at all blue barely any differnt from stock still had the yellowish look although maybe not quite as bad. She says they are better in the rain but thats about the only time she says they arnt as bright and harder to see with the rest of the time not to mention they don't look any better than the stock bulbs.

I am very happy with my PIAA Extreme White 9005 bulbs. They look whiter than any other "super white" bulb I have seen, and are under powered for 9005 bulbs, so they should last longer, 61 watts instead of 65. And they are definately much brighter then my stock 9006 bulbs.
