Default Yellow Bulbs Installed *PICS*

Hey I just put the new Nokya Hyper Yellow Bulbs in by xB - here's the pics. They're really bright, and have a definate JDM look to them!

Comparison w/ old bulbs:


Here's a quick video i took http://home.earthlink.net/~rjsnell/P...lowinscion.WMV

You can see that they are very yellow...nothin else like them on the road! My plans are actually to get the OEM Foglights, and put the Nokya Hyper Yellow 9006 in there, and continue using my Nokya Arctic Purples as headlights, but I'll leave these in for a while for something different.

For more info on the bulbs: http://nlmotoring.com/catalog/produc...oducts_id/4217

Let me know what you guys think!

Headlights need H4 (AKA 9003) and Foglights use 9006 - Its the same for both the xA & xB

Can we get some actual pictures of the light output on the ground...instead of how they look on the car...because isn't that whats most important?

I'm willing to be they don't shine as well as the stock units.

Prove me wrong.

Even if it is, you'll want to keep the box in the car to show the cop...

Haha yeah make sure you have a gallon of new bulb fluid, and some new bulb gaskets just incase your old ones need to be replaced....

seriously though - it's very easy, no tools required just remove the rubber piece that seals them in, unclip the old bulbs and clip in the new ones. It literally takes 2 min each. One thing though: make sure never to touch the bulb glass with your fingers or a rag or anything! just hold them by the base when installing them. Any oils that get on the glass can make it burn out quickly.

JDMxB asked about the light output - here's the best pic I have to show you. I didn't think yellow would be nearly as bright as this either but this gives an idea of the output.

i '____ing care' a lot about lights.

actuall JDMXB, his lights MIGHT be brighter than stock.
usually, aftermarket bulbs will be colored for the ricers
so they can tell all their buddies how nice it looks, BUT in essence,
they usually use HIGHER wattage bulbs like 100watt or more.
they don't realize that a higher wattage bulb isn't smart because it's
gonna run hotter than stock, theres a reason why car manufactorers
use a certain wattage.

so really his lights COULD be brighter than stock, hey who cares if he's
melting his headlights slowly. its all gravy,.. STYLE POINTZZZZZZZZZZ

his yellow bulbs: NOKYA H4 (9003/HB2) - Stage I 70/80W
his purple bulbs: NOKYA H4 (HB2/9003) - Stage II 100/120W

OUCH 120watts? i think stock is 55/65 but i could be wrong.

i just don't trust companies that sell celphones and lights

Thanks for the pictures!

They probably are GREAT for adverse weather conditions as well...Yellow shines best in Fog/Rain/Snow.
