Default Luminics HyperWhites vs. OEM bulbs

Thanks to Scott@Luminics I received a set of H4 hyperwhite bulbs for my headlights, as well as a set of 9006 hyperwhite bulbs for my jdm foglights.
I like them a lot! During the day when they're off and the sun is hitting the headlights they light up blue. At night when they're on they are pure white and illuminate the road much more than the oem bulbs did.

Thanks Luminics!

Here are some pics for comparison:

OEM bulbs


One HyperWhite bulb, one OEM bulb, OEM foglight bulbs


HyperWhite headlights, OEM foglight bulbs


All HyperWhite bulbs

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that the OEM bulb emits more light.

Also, is there any differencees between the dealer fog assemblies and the jdm ones that you have?

I guess it kinda does in the pics. I didn't really notice that.

But on the road, you can easily tell that they are much brighter than the stock bulbs.
I'm not sure if the white light sharpens the road & objects or if it actually emits more light, but visibility is improved a lot. Plus, the color makes them look a lil more euro-like.
I wish I had taken road pics from inside the car. The difference would easily be seen then


Also, is there any differencees between the dealer fog assemblies and the jdm ones that you have?
The jdm housings are reflective inside which make them appear white/clear when not turned on. The usdm housings are not reflective, and look smoked all the time. They also do not put out as much light as a result. For some reason we got the rejects.

Also, the switch is different. The usdm switch is a lil rocker switch that is not illuminated. The jdm switch is a push-in/push-out button that is illuminated.

They looks MUCH better imo, and are more functional too.

Im sorry at this time we only manufacture low beams high beams and foglights. We are looking into making some of the other bulbs.

We also have our new Pure Blue bulb its the closest thing to HID you can get out of a bulb.

Sorry about that we just uploaded the new site this morning and we are going through it right now looking for errors. I have emailed the person who designed the site to add the Scion Tc on there ASAP.

In the mean time you can go to the bottom of the page and order through series.

Scion Tc

9006 Low Beam
9005 High Beam
9006 Foglight.

The high beam and low beam but are not interchangeable.
