There are MANY brands of H4 bulbs available, what are your favorites and least favorites?

 

i like PIAA and sylvania much better than the cheap imitation blue coated bulbs you can buy online or at performance shops. i have used them both and they last a long time. they are bright and look good. the sylvania silverstar shines very white and i have them installed in my scion right now. i'm very happy with them.

 

can i also change the bulb on my fog lights? change both heads and fogs. and what king of bulbs goes on both?

 

Wha? No Raybrig?

 

H4 (9004) for the headlights

HB3 (9006) for the fogs

 

this is the one i use


PIAA GT-X

 

PIAA and Koito gets my vote

 

PIAA...but i still have to get mine...i'm runnin some cheap "Artic purple"...looks good...but i want brighter... :twisted:

 

I second the vote for Koito

 

I'm rocking some J Spec R hyperwhites on my xA, only got them for $16. I know its not a good brand, but they work just fine for me. If i could choose any brand my choice though would be Raybrig.

 

I used to not care about brand and would buy the cheapie H4s for my Civic.... I had a couple of friends that dropped the $$ for PIAA and I laughed at them.

But I stopped laughing when I had to keep replacing my burned out bulbs every few months. They went for over a YEAR without a burnout... stupid PIAAs. They made me look bad.

if anyone is going to the KK meet this Sunday, i'll be there, i can demonstrate the bulbs..hehe

 

Philips 6000K for me.

 

how do you like your bulbs? What color light does it emit in low and high beam? I was thinking of getting those because I heard it emits a puple-ish white color.

they emit a purpleish clear beam, very bright, light up the road very well, i love them


they're expensive thought, $89, i got them at super autobach



oh, high beam emits very white beam

 

ditto, i run the same setup

oh btw, i put in a pair of silverstar h4s in my family's honda crv and it doesn't look too much whiter than stock bulbs, not exactly satisfied :?

 

I second that.

They have a few variations and a couple that are not even street legal they are so bright.

 

Hanabi's. I have a set now that I have been running for over a year and my cost is $9 a set.

 

I use PIAA's very often, most of the time, I buy the PIAA yellows. They work great!! I think they are lot brighter than those colored with blue or purple, especially in rain, snow or fog. Though I never drove in snow, but it really came in handy when I was driving through rain & snow, color it emmits won't get absorbed by wet road, so it will illuminate in yellowish, and in fog, it won't disrupt your view by reclectiong on fog so I have those installed in my xB's FOG light. Rain season just started, I would highly reccomend PIAA yellow bulbs to anyone who is looking for more performance out of bulbs rather then just looks.
