I just put a set of these Nokya H11 7000K bulbs in the tC in the factory projectors. Well they don't seem to really put out the same amount of lighting as the stock ones do. They put out nice and white and give a nice blue tint out of the projector and look good, they just don't seem to have a decent output. Has anyone else had these issues?

 

that happen to me before, when go up in the temperature range the light gets scattered more. did you buy the stage 1 or the stage 2? i think the smart way to go is get some HIDs.

 

from past experiences stock bulbs always seem to put out more light then hyperwhites, its what you sacrifice for the white light

 

Are the bulbs painted blue? If they are, that may be why they don't put out as much output as stock ones did. Painted bulbs gives a tint to the light out put but at the cost of reducing your total light output.

 

Yeah they're the stage 2 bulbs, and are painted blue. I have the same bulbs in my cavalier, and they seem to be fine. Oh well i'll upgrade to a 6000K or 8000K HID setup for the projectors down the road.

 

mobilehid is the way the go

 

HUGE WARNING!!!!!!!! about nokya bulbs....I just had to repalace the harness on my HL because of nokya bulb. They burm the whole harness and melt them. (it happen to my friend's eclipse too.) it only seems to happen with Nokya bulbs .

 

i've had no problems with Nokya bulbs in my fog lights (VRD's), but of course, those are fog lights, H3 bulbs, much lower wattage.

 

its not just nokya bulbs that will melt the harness. its seems like corners were cut on the insulation from the heat(hence the price).
