Headlight bulbs

Post by Redlined »

Yet another stupid question from me :laugh: lol
I want some nice headlight bulbs to go with those new covers or whatever I will need. What do you suggest. I see these cars around with this blue tint to their headlights and they seem to work extremely well and they also look super cool. I have these sylvania coolblue ones now and they absolutely blow in my opinion. I just do in town driving so I pretty much am not worried about if they put out an extreme amount of light better than the stock bulbs or whatever but I really want somethign cool looking with that blue tint. Any suggestions or answers? And I can not afford a kazillion dollar HID kit so please dont suggest it haha!

I bought a set of Nokya headlight bulbs for my Mx3 and I swear by them. They're way brighter than the Cool Blue bulbs or the stock ones I had in and they have a noticeable blue tint to them even when they're not on and you look at your headlight assembly. They weren't expensive either. I paid around $40.00 from a speed shop. Hope this info info is useful.
Second place is the first loser.

Like what about these 6000K Eurodezigns would these burn up the harness or whatever. Has anyone ever tried these before?

I've got a set of the eurodezigns in my car right now. I like the colour of the light, they look nice but they don't put out enough light. I'd strongly suggest some Silverstars, or PIAA Superwhites. I put a set of Silverstars in my work van and the difference was like night and day. Never tried the PIAAs yet, though I have them in all my clear lenses and blinkers. My rear turn signals in my altezzas light up the shoulder when they blink.
