Can anyone recommend some bright and reliable h1 (5th gen low beams)bulbs? Surprisingly I've heard that toucan eurolites were good.

Does anyone have pics of different bulbs in 5th gens?

 

i had 2 kinds of nikko and now piaa i still dont like any of them i am still lookin for good ones too

 

piaa extreme white plus'

 

just a little warning, 5th gens LOVE to blow aftermarket H1 bulbs. I have no friggin idea what it is, they just explode. put them in, all happy and about a week or so later, kaboom. yea lifetime warranty on the bulbs, but i just got tired of that ****. Back to OEM bulbs and not a problem since.

 

you shouldn't have a problem if you run the factory alloted 55w or less.

any more suggestions

 

get silverstars, no probs and they are nice and white

 

for silverstars

 

on hpoa.org there have been COUNTLESS people verifying that the silverstar h1 bulbs have some sort of malfunction, more than half the owners have experienced failure.

I wasted over $200 using after market 55w bulbs. They will blow as stated above, 5th gens are notorious for that.

I've had some go after a few days, some a couple of weeks. The longest was Solaris, it lasted a few month.

I recommend PIAA, Solaris.

Either than that, invest in a HID system, the money you'll be wasting on bulbs will amount up to an HID system.

But IMO, stock bulbs are the best.

 

retrofit hid's into the prelude housing produces significant glare for other drivers.

i have the xd3's that i bought from ebay and they have been in my car for over a year problem free. but, maybe its a fluke...
