I was just wondering what you think is the best bulb for the money?
I have the silverstar in my truck,

 

I have luminics, people may say they fry your harness but ive had them since november and I leave them on 24/7 when im driving and nothing yet. I got pure blue and it looks amazing.

 

hm for me, i wouldnt use products that harms my tc.
i use piaa, but willing to try other brands and see how they are like.

 

I'd like to know this too.

But for now, my money is going into POWERVIEW: Xenon Blue's.

 

I'm running Silverstars and happy with them. But when the shipment for these HALO bulbs come to the dealer im switching them. The Halos seem much brighter and whiter. I'll update when i get them with pics.

 

Nokya hyperwhites for the lows, and Nokya hyper yellow for the highs...soon upgrading to 3000K HID's from understeer.com...

 

lets see some pix

 

Ok for the Sylvania Silverstars-which model bulbs do you need? 9006 for the low and 9005 for the high correct?

Also what is a HALO bulb?

 

halo is short for halogen

 

get some HIRs...I'm gettin some soon.

 

Thats what I'm using. They're the next best thing to HID's.

do you have any pictures of them on your tC? I'd like to see how they look.

 

Silverstars. Safe and DOT approved and cheap.

I have 1 pic. from the front w/ them on in my prof. I will try and take some others tonight and post them tomorrow for you.

 

I had the Nokia bulbs on my TC for about 1 month, turned out that one of my lights went out, so what did my dumbass do???. I went and bought another pair, 2 days later same crap happened. Decided to take a closer look and my harness actually fried. I took it to the dealer, and told them the car had a defect, they believed me and fixed it for free. My question or fear is, What would happen if I want to make an H.I.D. conversion, and also has this happened to any one else???

 

Yea, heres the thread.

Why even bother then?? And to all those lucky TC owners that this has not been an issue so far, it might be so just be aware of this problem.

 

hmm... these HIR bulbs interest me. I've never heard of them before, but they look pretty impressive. How long do they typically last?

 

wrong. Halo is the brand. I got it from the dealer today. I'll take pics when I have time. Got a project to do this week tho.

They looked really white and seemed to be brighter than SilverStars when I saw them at the dealers so i thought id give em a try. but when i got home and installed them today it looks like silverstars are less white but do have more light output. but it isnt night time yet so i cant really tell. and the thing thats worrying me right now is that on the Halo bulbs it says 55w, but on the silverstars they say 51w. BUT on the silverstars BOX it says 55w also. so which is it? am i running a risk right now with the 55w halos in? lemme know so i can return them if i need to..
