okay, so I've been lookin around, n i really, really dont have the money for HIDs. i figured in the meantime, i still want that bluish hue (6k or 7k ish, id say 8k but ik that 8k reduces visibility a little too much). my question...where can i buy quality 6k or 7k bulbs? I've heard good things about Philips and Mcculloch bulbs. also, there are many on ebay, are they even worth mentioning or are they just a waste of money? here's a pic for reference, i want either 6k or a little bit above 6k.

i'd be careful with those i think it says 120watts on the box that's almost double what the wiring harnesses in our cars are made for just a heads up

 

[oldpunk78]

^ 6000k - i've seen mixed reviews on these though... ie: buyer beware

 

[LowTEC_ZX3]

go with philips, quality and reliable.

 

[evanjfrancis]

are ours H4? and could anybody please link me to some philips lights? i can't find them anywhere =p


note: i do NOT want to suffer light output for color. I'm looking for quality bulbs

I have these and they SUCK!! you get the blue tint but the output sucks waste of money in my opinion.

Hoen-USA.com

their bulbs are at 80w and will match HID color excellently

I've been looking at these as well. Will they need a wiring harness or are they plug and play? Also, do you know if they can output a true crystal white with a 9007 bulb?


Sorry to thread jack, I didn't want to start a new thread over the same subject.

haha no problem. n i too was wondering if they were plug n play or not. the Hoen site is a lil confusing...can any1 link to page of focus bulbs plz? i found this page for the xenonmatch plus bulbs, http://hoen-usa.com/plus.htm but the categories are H7, H9, H11, 9005, 9006, 9007. which one is good for focus?

 

[oldpunk78]

i think you need 9003/hb2/h4

[evanjfrancis]

...so i cant use hoens? okay then. sumbody mentioned philips, linkey plz? also, does any1 know of any other good sites of manufacurers for quality bulbs between 6k and 8k?

 

[Rob06ZX3]

ive read some good stuff on Noykea bulbs.
i just ordered a set off of Ebay.. i got the Artic white H3's for my driving lights i set up.

look closely at the package... equivelence of 55W draw, but with 100W light output. and there 7K's i believe.. i cant pull up the page right now.. darn school internet.

 

[oldpunk78]

hey! ^^^ i already suggested those, lol.

HERE IS A LINK TO THE NOKYA 7000K ARCTIC WHITE BULBS (in the bulb type you need):

http://www.automotivelightingusa.co...id=362&zenid=708882c7b4b540d14b18a01f4824cab4

edit - here is a link to the same bulbs^ but stock wattage:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Noky...m14QQhashZitem350118071894QQitemZ350118071894

they are like $23.00, order them and be done with it, lol

i have also had good luck w/nokya cosmic white(5000K) and piaa super plasma gt-x(5000K) bulbs - both look like hid and are somewhat bright.

also, did you see the link for the philips bulbs i posted? there are multiple colors/wattages to pick from on ebay... unfortunately, it looks like the are all form outside the U.S.

 

[evanjfrancis]

oooh. stock wattage. yay =). so culd i use those in stocks? or do u need projectors?

 

[scrammer]

using halogen bulbs in a reflector housing is completely safe and will look great. you dont need projectors for halogen bulbs.

 

[evanjfrancis]

great =) anybody know how light output of 7ks is?

 

[oldpunk78]

^wouldn't that of been a good question to ask in the first post? lol - it isn't that great in my opinion, you start to loose a lot of output in halogen bulbs at 7000K.

if you're looking for brightness it would be best to stick in the 3800-5000k range. the most usable light i have found is at 4000K(white)

2500K(yellow) 4000K(white) 5000K(white w/ a little purple) 6000K(light blue) 7000K(blue) >violet

 

[evanjfrancis]

haha ya i guess it wuldve been. ugh, im so torn. love the look of the 7k, but living in VT where i drive mostly unlit dirt roads at night, im thinkin i might need to stick with 6k. i have silverstar ultras right now n they are great for where i drive, but i just want a better look. cant find nokya 6k ones tho on ebay.
