best headlights to get?
Thursday, November 12, 2009 10:48 AM
so
ive tried Luminics Pure Blue Headlights and the light output was horrible but it was the right color I wanted...I have tried eBay blue headlights and they were great but broke in about 2 weeks...where can i get the best blue headlights possible? Luminics is a good brand, but the light output is horrible. eBay lights break too fast because their too cheaply made.
stock ones look bad but it's the right light output....i just want 9007 replacements that look like the luxury car headlights that won't break in 2 days... please help!
justin

i am selling my 9007 Luminics Pure Blue if anyone wants them... I paid about 35 dollars for them and would like to see at least 20 for them...They are good for show use. Just PM Me about them!

Sylvania Silverstars are great plus they have a $5-10 rebate form on http://www.sylvania.com. They're twice as bright than the stock headlights that were in my wifes SL1, can see street signs a long way down the road at night now.

If the color is more important to you than visiblity you my friend are a ricer and also a retard.

The purple light is extemely hard on your eyes and will offer even poorer visibilty than the stock lights but, atleast you'll look cool?

Those are called H.I.D. the closest you will get to that with a halogen bulb is the Silverstars.

If you want H.I.D.s John Benham is the man to talk to on here.

yeah, by what you are describing, you want to go HID. and for all the money you have spent on all those different bulbs, you probably could have bought a good kit with it.

Sounds like you need HID's. And FYI your first problem is you want blue and to be able to see well, those 2 words don't go in the same sentence lol Anything blue is less visibility for you. Anything yellow or close to it is great visibility.

those silverstars are JUNK anyways. i went through 3 sets in my 95 grand prix and 2 sets in my 95 beretta before i finally just said F it and put stock back in. they just blow after like 4 months.

if you are looking for blue headlights and want them to last look into street glow 'xenon' lights. ive had both high and low beamed sets in my 98z24 for the past 5 years and they work wonderfully.

the xenon's are ok, i really didnt see much difference in light output other than the color change from yellow to white/blue. one thing that does suck though, driving on black topped roads in the rain. you basically have zero output unfortunately.

although id much rather go HID. these were all i could afford at the time and i have been putting off HID's ever since because i found something else to buy every time i went to pick the equipment up.





I must confess... I feel like a monster!

I've had my silverstars for a year and a half and swapped them from one car to another and no problems. I love them.

I had those Street Glow bulbs for a while in my last cav. If your driving in anything other pitch black where theres no street lights or anything they suck. If its raining you may as well leave them off. Oh, and the wattage is higher and they melted a bunch of my wires and shorted the switch out.

So, everyone has different experiences.

yeah i figured streetglow ones were just for show because their pretty much LEDS arent they? since streetglow is known for their underbody kits, i wouldnt trust putting those headlights in unless it was for show only...

The best IMO is HIDS with a projector retrofit.

I bought a set back in 2005. Had them in my cavalier until 2006. Then my brother used them in his honda. They are still in there working fine.
