you should be ok ..the bulbs these projectors come with are weak...
Luminics should improve that....

i just ordered a set of Luminis UVs...
and i have those projectors...
buy with confidence..with that price ..you can't go wrong..
and on the projectors..
bulb sizes are 9006 for low beams
9005 for high... if you were wondering...
nice, thanks alot man, so you've got those projectors, let me know when you get the lumies and if they improve things or not...also, did you have to get a set of low beams too? or just high beams (being that they dont offer low beam lights for the xb)....i'm really curious on this.

thanks again homey

I am just browsing through and wanted to add my two-cent-
I just put a set of high and low JDM yellows on, and they look and preform great. I went on a dark road last night and had a great time with them.

well im talking about the bulb thats on the second option, its like idle.

how can we replace that ?


hmmm sorry cant explain it any better, i suck lol
Those bulbs are a 194 wedge type bulb. I got raybrig hyper-white R130 bulbs from www.racinglab.com for $11 to replace the stock bulbs. They match the Luminics Hyper whites and are very easy to change.

JRV: No, not holding a grudge. Sorry if it came out wrong, just that our order was delayed so I guess I took it out on the first person I saw with a mistake in their posts.

My apologies.

I have the UV lows and JDM Yellow highs. I will try to take some pics tonight at all angles for u guys. Also, overall i'm very happy with the bulbs. I still think the UV's aren't quite as bright as stock(meaning they don't illuminate as much), but the JDM Yellow highs are the most amazing thing ever. I think it's mainly cuz they're yellow, but you should see how they light up signs; it gives them a "popping" sensation. By the way, i've never hosted pics before, is there a section which tells me how to properly do that?

haha you are a funny man....let me show u a comparsion shot. ok the 1st shot is my stock OEM integra headlight with a flutted lense. The second is a projector from an audi A6 with HID. this isnt a halogen projector to an HID projector comparison but you get the idea .

Well I got those A6 projectors for about $70 shipped. You can get D2S hid bulbs for another $50 and you can get 2 ballasts for around $140 if you shop around.

there are no silverstars thread here because they dont promote their product to a forum like this. maybe because they are confident that they can sell their brand anywhere. a lot of new after market companies like on this thread comes up with a new products and tries to lure customers and they usually sponsors car owners and forums like sl. also others are looking for alternative brand thats why theres a lot of discussions about it. lemme ask... there's a lot of threads about dual halo that are fogging up would that make them superior product or top dog?
