Default Luminics Bulbs...High Impressed

Well couple days ago, I purchased the Ultra Violet Bulbs from Luminics.
I had my doubts like I always do with new aftermarket bulbs, So I popped in the UV's
on the drivers side, and left my Nokya setup on the passenger side. I ran them for a day, the Nokyas were a little bit brighter, but after two days of usage, the Luminics are
now over powering my Nokyas. And Nokya is a good brand name in the market too!

The road is well lit, you can barely see the UV tint, road markings/reflectors are well
illuminated from a far distance, and they are easy on the eyes(I had my friend in my car stay behind me while I was in his car).

im really impressed with these. i liked my nokyas, but wow these bulbs are just top quality and not expensive at all! Plus FAST shipping! I was amazed to see the white box sittin on my porch one day lol

I was not under any pressure to make this post. This is just a post to help you in a decision for aftermarket bulbs and Luminics Bulbs are #1, IMO

Visit www.LuminicsBulbs.com and order a set for you car today!

I recently purchased the Luminics pure blue bulbs and was amazed at the color. I had Nokya Arctic White before... and i loved them, but damn these Luminics are awsome.
here's a pic of the lights against my garage door.


ohh and they got here in 1 day! i was really amazed with the shipping. :D

here's an article about blue and hyper white bulbs that you guys with blue and hyper white bulbs should read:

http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=102

also, keep the light/color spectrum in mind, especially to keep the fog lights actually useful in fog.



blue lights don't project as far as the yellowish stock lights. they appear to, but it's just an illusion because they are brighter than stock. i know everyone will disagree, but that's science.

How would yellow look on low beams? Or is that best left for the fogs or high beams?

I got the UV's last week. At first it didn't seem like my headlights were even on, but after a couple nights of driving i can totally notice the difference, especially on poorly lit roads. Things are just brighter. I really like them now.

I've had my UVs for about 3 months now, no problems so far and they really do make a difference in visability over the stock bulbs.

As far as losing visibility, that may be true, but I drive with fogs on all the time so I figure my overall light output is brighter that stock lights with no fogs.

I also spend most of my time driving in the city with street lights, so they are more for show than anything. When I do drive in unlit areas, they light up the road just fine.

What is the difference in lumens output - especially the hyper white vs. stock? I keep hearing people talking about UV bulbs too - is it just a coating or is it a special bulb a la the dodge viper? I'd be interested in getting some of these, since they look good, but I won't do it unless it's actually better than stock.

UV are the Luminics UltraViolet bulbs. the violet coat gives it a purple appearance.

Yeah... I just went to the site and read about it. And ordered the super whites (which already shipped!) I don't know how they're going to be vs. stock, but they're only $25 with free shipping and the company seems to be REALLY on the ball so I'll give them a try. I don't want a blue look (cops or otherwise) but brighter lights without some incorrectly housed HID is great.
