Has anyone changed their stock bulbs to something white and brighter? If so, which bulbs did you buy and how much? Thanks!

 

go to ebay. I got the gp thunder 7500k high watt bulbs. I had silverstars and they suck.

 

I got Raybrig 5000K White Sonics or White Thunder, i forgot. Paid $50ish i believe.
Yes its a lot, but its a Well Known Brand

 

Anything with a coating on the bulb is crap. If it looks blue, it has a filter on it that will reduce light output.

Get a pair of GE Nighthawk bulbs. Only about $25 a pair at Wal-mart. They are a clear bulb that has a tweaked gas mixture in the bulb that allows the filament to operate at a higher color temperature than a regular halogen bulb if that's your thing. Most importantly, it does output more light than a standard bulb.

The whole whiter = better argument is just hype anyway. Halogen bulbs already have the best color rendering ability of any other bulb, including HID lamps. The only thing that matters is light output and longevity.

 

those hyperwhites are absoulutely horrible...they look white but they are dim.

white/blue/purple is horrible in rain and snow.

best vision quality -> yellow

i use sylvania cool blues, they arent white looking head on but at night the light is white but the color makes no difference it's all about the output in lumens. HID 4100 puts out 3200 lumens! Normal low beams 1000 lumens give or take 15% to be legal. Hyperwhites are generally not bright enough or safe enough to be DOT approved so I wouldn't even touch them unless they are just for show.

I use the 1700 lumen high beam bulbs in place of my 1000 lumen low beams. Huge difference, I got my cool blues cheap at walmart for like 18 bucks. They do require some modding of the bulb to fit...

 

Thanks for the tip! Which Raybrig model did you get? At this website (http://store.racinglab.com/raybrig.html?ref=adwords+ray) they have the H1, H3, H4, 9006, and H3C White Sonics. Thanks for again for your help.

 

Our Bulbs are 9006 or HB4. They are the same thing, just yah i think the HB4 if for Japan or something.

Yah, if changing bulbs, i suggest Raybrig, then Polarg. I was going to get Piaa, but i read a lot of bad stuff about them. I heard nothing but good from Raybrig and Polarg

 

Hard to beat Sylvania Silverstars. Much better than the hyper whites (really quite blue) for brightness and whiteness, while still keeping factory wattages.

 

I just put some Nokya Yellow lights and I love them. The pics aren't too great but here is something to look at. I think they look great and the visibilty is great too.

 

Thanks brother!

just got done installing my silverstars (low and high) last night and i love the difference, so much brighter (but other drivers done seem to enjoy the extra light) and it snowed right as i did it and i think they make such a difference in the snow

 

I had 9006 Sylvania Cool Blues in my tc, tonight I did the convert from 9006 Low Beam to 9005 High Beam and replaced them with a 9005 65watt StreetGlow bulb, and WOW what a diffrence

 

Go Sylvania Silverstars.

 

installed these hyperwhites yesterday... a lot brighter than sylvania silverstars
