accent




lowbeams on




the headlights were $25 Optix bulbs from aerocosmetix, and they give off a really white almost HID look. and the accent lights were 2 bucks at autozone. i'm going to change them again and get LED bulbs...

tC_Normo

i don't know.. havent seen the silverstars before...these optics are kind of dim when you drive tho.. i was thinking of purchasing some silverstars, but they're too expensive....

How can $50 bulbs be too expensive for a $17,000 car?

tC_Normo

my bulbs only set me back 20 bucks . i'm on a college budget btw :D

mancide

If you're on a college budget why did you spend 20 bucks on lights that don't work as good as stock?

tC_Normo

i'll get real HID when i make bank.. but for now i wanted white headlight bulbs.. i liked the stock ones, but once i installed these.. i loved how they were whiter than normal

Gmoney

i am going to buy the silverstars with HID look to them.

dont laugh but i was wondering how you install the accent lights, and how would you turn them on alone? do you install a switch or somthing? cuz i think they look really nice. thanks

bofa

On you headlight switch there are two ticks/notches. The first tick controls the accent lights and the second turns on the actual headlights.

are the accent lights the same as the parking lights? yeah i need brieffing on the light structure so i can save up for mine. and what lights did different people use?

komik

Yes the "accent" lights are parking lights.

In Japan the "accent" lights are referred to as "city" lights. When you drive around in the city the street lighting is more than ample to drive by. So, with the city lights they just illuminate the headlight without broadcasting a beam. On our car they are built in when you turn on the parking lights. They are just 157 bulbs and are kinda hard to reach for people with large hands but well worth the change. 6.99 for a pair of blue. The chrome ones are too dim. I tried those too.

Do silverstars look good in tCs? And how much light do they add?

Silverstars arent any brighter than stock bulbs. They just tint the beam so it bounces off things better, so they "look" brighter.
Silverstars are actually a green/blue color. Not worth the money.

If your going to spend money on headlights bulbs go for some PIAA, NOKYA, MTEC.....
I put some MTEC Supewhite (4100K) bulbs in my tC and OMG the difference was amazing. The ones that I bought are 80w, so far no problems with the wireing and I do a lot of night driving.
