Plug and Play Xenon Bulbs

[redpr5]

so is that a "go" for the hyper whites from luminics?

well ive heard good and bad. i didnt use luminics, never have. the good is that they provide EXCELLENT light output. the bad is that their bulbs have been known to expand/bubble or blow up. there are people who have had nothing but problems with luminics and people who have never had a problem with them. personally i wouldnt get luminics, id go to autozone or any performance car parts place (they usually carry these bulbs) and get you a pair of h7 4000k bulbs for like $20.
APC makes them. i cant find the box for the brand i have now, it was somethin different but they work great. if i find it, ill be sure to share the brand name with you

i got luminics in my high beams, they look so hawt

my luminics bulbs exploded catastrophically, sending glass all over the inside of my headlight housing and I had to take off the front bumper and bake the headlight and repaint it

hm...maybe i'll just order the yellow ones from them and get the low beams at the store.

well i just ran up to Discount Auto Parts...and the 4000K bulbs are 39.99. Where are they for $20?

I wouldn't bother with anything for the high beam bulbs, for high beams you want the most light output possible so just stick to clear glass bulbs.

Toshiba's HIR bulbs offer 50% more output than the stock 9005s and come recommended by Daniel Stern himself. Check out http://www.hirheadlights.com/ for a description. DS recommends using 9011 bulbs and trimming the base so they fit in the 9005 socket--filament location/dimensions are identical.

Yeah I've been meaning to buy the HIR bulbs for my high beams. They're cool bulbs.

theres a few places up here in nc that sells them for $20-25. ive gotten them from a performance shop in my area and at a stereo shop that i work at that happened to have a set of H7 4000Ks layin around. i guess all i can tell you is to look around at a few places that you think might sell headlight bulbs, cuz the ones you get from places like autozone are gonna be expensive.
ill try to remember to take a picture of my lights tonight so you can get an idea of the output.
