Bright white headlights

[1997gtRioRed]

i recently got some newer headlights houding, they are completely restored and look great, but i cant stand my yellow beams. im looking for some whiteish/almost blue headlight but i dont want to go back to HIDS. also im not shelling out $40 at the parts store.

anyone get some on ebay that they had good luck with? i see then om there for $13ish shipped but no reviews on whether they are good or not.

thanks

I think that anything less than Sylvania zXe halogen bulbs will leave you disappointed.

If you buy a bulb with a 6000k or 8000k rating you'll probably get the look you want. May not be the brightest though. I ran Eurodesignz bulbs for years before switching to HIDs.

why not go back to HIDs? i loved mine.

if they're not HID's, stick with anything above 8000K.
i'm running 6000K non-HID headlights that are barely showing a hint of white at night.

I hate my HID's without the projectors, I will probably go to PIAA cuz the lifetime warranty

ok, i never realized how expensive zXe's were. might go HIDs, only $32 for a set.

/thread...after my statement

I wanted to run HID's so bad but I wasn't going to give up my high beam. You can say "HID's are SOOO bright you don't need high beams." I've had both and halogen highbeams go further. I tried out the zXe's and I am VERY satisfied with them. I have OEM housing and they give off a nice crisp white and hit every part of the reflector.

zXe halogen bulbs are what $50.00? A proper HID kit that operates properly will cost $80.00 on the cheap side. You will be very disappointed with a $40.00 flickering HID kit.


"You can say "HID's are SOOO bright you don't need high beams."
-NO, You need BiXeneon Hi/Lo HID kit.
-As far as viability- 4300K is brightest, 5000K a little less, 6000K a little less ect.....
Hope that's helpful.?.
