H7

You might want to consider ordering some Osram Silverstars... they're very good, brighter than stock but not blue.

Free shipping and it took like 6 days for me even though they're in england.

WERD. I have them. See sig

 

[Sveivo]

I got mine off eBay. The keyword here is Osram, not Sylvania or whatever...

H7. Get PIAA!

H7. Get PIAA!

Are they really worth the money? I'm seriously wondering. Aren't they high wattage, which equals melted wires?

pics?

 

[Sveivo]

pics?

LOL, okay I'll try to get some up tomorrow when I drive from work at night time.

 

[L8R]

Nope, 55W, same out put as stock. I am very happy with them. I had generics before that melted my harnesses, but these are brighter, whiter, and DOT legal!

Peace

PIAA advertises their "XTRA technology" which supposedly makes the 55w H7 perform like a 110w bulb. bulls***. Tried it, performs like the 55w bulb it is. Go Osram if you want bright. Go PIAA if you think barely blue is worth $75.

thanks guys.

i'm gonna order some PIAAs and maybe a cheap backup- like some Luminics...

any San Diego folk know where i can scoop some up today? in the meantime? a store?

thanks again everyone- and sorry if anyone was subjected to the gif that was in my sig a few months back.

somebody played a dirty trick on me.

Here are a few pictures of my headlights. The pics aren't the best. At least I tried!

 

[Sveivo]

Osram Silverstar

 

[Sveivo]

I might have not picked the best place for pics--it was an uneven hill.

They are bright, believe me!

 

[carter1551]

yeah they look whiter than the stock, and these are what bulbs exactly? can i get a direct link to them cuz i googled them and it said osram silverstar sylvania, are these the right ones? i thought you were supposed to avoid the sylvania ones

 

[Sveivo]

I want to clear up some confusion here.

Sylvania Silverstar (sold at Walmart, Advance Auto, etc)=bad.
Osram Silverstar=good.

Technically Sylvania is a child company of Osram, but Osram bulbs are different, and arguably better.

These are the exact bulbs I got on eBay. The seller is great:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...RK:MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=110050804060&rd=1,1

The glass on these bulbs is not colored, yet the light output is still quite white.

Good luck.

will these bulbs work with all the regular wiring without any problems in the p5. the owner before me put 70w bulbs in the car which kept blowing the little plastic connector

These bulbs are 55W/12V--stock wattage. Make sure it says 55W in the item description and you should be fine. Mine are fine so far...

 

[carter1551]

wait so why dont people just do this instead of an expensive hid kit?

 

[Sveivo]

These are nice lights, but HID's are generally brighter
