What brand of bulbs do you guys like most? Non-HID please

[Sushi-Monster]

I'm currently using StreetGlow H4's. They are white but have a slight blue tint. I was looking for a total white but I guess thats okay.

How much did you pay for your bulbs? I paid $30 from the good guys of protegegarage.com.

I installed Silvania Silverstars into my bros 99' Grand Am. Boy do they look yellow! But from a distance for sure they have a bit of white to them but its still very yellow compared to my bulbs. Also, my bulbs are rated @ 100/90w's... will our wires be able to take that type of punishment?

Sylvania Silverstar... I love these bulbs in my MSP.

I bought mine from Pepboys. There was a rebate, but the cashier messed up and sold them to me for $11.53 out the door.

As far as I have heard Street Glows are about as white as you'll get from a Halogen bulb. It would help if they took off the silly blue coating. Makes my brights look silly during the daytime.

i use catz bulbs. Very very good looking bulb. looks similar to hid color but of course not as bright.

Osram Silverstars... brighter than Sylvania b/c there's no tint. www.powerbulbs.com

i'm using HKS Power Beam H4's (these are actually japanese koito bulbs rebadged but with a higher OUTPUT wattage by 5 or 10). keep in mind supposed output not wattage draw (still drawing your stock wattage. a thing some generic brands do NOT do). these are the whitest and the brightest that i've seen by far. they are a little brighter and whiter (less yellow) then the PIAA Super/Platinum Whites. also keep in mind these are comparable if not better then the PIAA's are other name brands because it's made by koito, a manufacturer of OEM light assemblies and bulbs. cost would probably be about $36+. here's the link...

if u want the whitest hyper whites you gotta look on ebay for "hilite" 7000k h4 bulbs, they don't look like any other hyper white bulbs with the blue tinge to it. these are white

100/90W bulbs are a bad idea. Aside from being illegal, they can overload/burn your headlight wiring harness and damage the headlight socket and other internal headlight parts.

Along with Puckpimp71, I recommend Osram Silverstars for the reason he mentioned. I also bought mine from: www.powerbulbs.com

i liked my piaa's Xtreme Whites. Damn things lasted just over a year though

 

[mattybo]

silverstars all the way.

I got the cheap blue eurodezigns bulbs. Only $9.95 on ebay. They look nice with a hint of blue, but it seems they don't have a good light output.

I gotta look for the HKS Power Beams for my next set of bulbs then... But your saying it's what outputting not drawing??? So when the stock bulbs are on, they really just output 65ws of heat/light? I guess thats the same with your house bulbs right? I mean, when we buy 100w bulbs to replace the 60w bulbs, they sure seem brighter & hotter too!...
