Halogen Bulb. Not Homologated. These bulbs are not road legal and are to be used for decorative purposes, for competition, circuit and off road only.

If men could use HID, i cud use this
The light is white by the way...no hint of blue what soever

[5forward]

anyone...?

[oxidation]

are you currently using 100 watt bulbs

if yes what brand you have

[5forward]

No.i want to know if anyone has reviews on the product above...

[Strugglerzinc]

get proper bulbs instead of making night life hard for the rest of us.

[5forward]

I was told that product is the "closest" thing to HID...

So what exactly do u mean by "proper bulbs" ?...I want the brightest lights possible...without goin HID

[Strugglerzinc]

Have a long read

Just because it's "white light similar to HIDs" doesn't make it better. Also brighter is also not always better.

Add to that 100W on a 60W harness = meltdown

If you can, do a comparison with stock HID vs the "retrofit" HID and judge for your self.

ok then...well answer me this...what would you recommend to give great "lighting" for a corolla dx wagon?

[EVA Unit-01]

look for Sylvania bulbs (55W), or Phillips... might cost a little extra but the Phillips i got on my car were EXCELLENT!

NB Using a higher wattage would not only damage your wiring, but also your headlight as well...

[cinco]

tbh ive used silverstars and they have been installed almost 6 years now and going strong
i want to change them though because im certain the light output diminishes with age.
best out put is clean your headlights inside and out and use some good 55w bulbs
btw the "white" lights are actually useless on a street light by yellow street lights and are terrible in the rain

[Strugglerzinc]

Silverstars are about as good as you'll get locally.

If you can source stuff from foreign, try Osram Night Breakers, Phillips X-Treme or Narva +30/+50

[5forward]

So you sayin that the "Phillips X-Treme" is better than the "Sylvania silverstar ultra" ?
Which is better between the two? ...(because its more expensive online which says something most times)

[5forward]

Also,do the two options above have hi & lo beam ?

[5forward]

Never mind guys...i just ordered a set of "Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H4" ...thanks for all the help an vital information fellaz

[CD4Accord]

Honestly, I used to use the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra.. I hope it does you better than it did me..
I found the light to be 10% better than stock AT BEST... Concerning the claim that its a white light as well, its just slightly less yellow than your average bulb..

Personally, I wasn't impressed as at all by them and for the price paid, I eventually decided to invest in some Philips X-Treme Power H4 instead.. No "blue" coating on the bulb means less light wasted trying poorly to pretend HID, but more light being projected...
Better bulb life than the sylvania as well

[5forward]

I hops so too...when these burn out,i may try those...But do the Philiss X-treme power have high and low beam ?

[Strugglerzinc]

All H4 would have high and low beams regardless of brand.

H1, H4 etc etc are specific bulb designs and any bulb carrying one of the designations must conform to the basic standards for that bulb.

[5forward]

Oh gosh ah feelin sick now ...but tanks

[nicholas7129]

boy dont waste ur time with them bulbs ....the stock yellow bulbs work good

[5forward]

You tellin me how my bulbs does work ...(for some vehicles yes,not mine)

Anyway,they should arrive today .Would give a little review when they are installed.

[5forward]

The bulbs arrived today.Cost me a total of about $285 (shipping and handling included) to bring from amazon.They were installed and the headlamps were adjusted to suite them.They are much brighter and slightly whiter than the stock ones.They stretch further and wider than the stock ones on both beams.Light actually passes the road edge to the left by a descent amount and the front of the car on the right would be lit up as well(dont worry it not hittin anyone in their eyes).And all this was observed within a few minutes in a fairly lit area,which means they will work wonders in pitch black areas(like some places through "the fields" in south)...Im goin to order another set sometime OR try the "Philips X-Treme Power" when they burn out...because the expected lifetime is about 12 months...could be less.but "I" rather have amazing lights for night driving which dont last long than to have poor/barely average lights to last me a lifetime.

[oxidation]

Lucky for you man u actually get bulb for your car

im catching reall hell to get good lights as yours for my car but only getting the cheap made in chinese stuff

i recently bought two bulbs $ 30 for 1 and installed them -- low beam ice and good but high beam man d high beam showing lower that the low beam lol

had the lights adjusted and it didnt help

i most believe that he filament on these bulbs are placed incorrectly...

good to knw that you got thru tough

Nice. Just think the Phillips are even better !

I've been dragging my arse to do a headlight upgrade on my present car as i'm hardly ever out at night.

[5forward]

lol ok...To anyone who owns the Philips,how long have they lasted so far?

[CD4Accord]

I have the philips on the volvo about a yr now and they still going strong.. and the volvo is running as DRL's low beam.. Basically once the car on (almost every day) the lights on..

Overall very impressed..
That said, i usually get way above the expected life of bulbs..
OEM bulb from the factory was still going strong on the accord after 14yrs til i upgraded...
Pajero bulb is the original from factory for 11 yrs before switching to philips...

Even have 2.5 yrs use so far on the silverstar ultra on a a33 cefiro and those bulbs not known for long life..

[5forward]

waw...well thats gud to hear

[waxy_rider]

Since we on the topic of headlight upgrades, has anyone installed HIDs on an A31 cefiro with stock projectors? Want to do an upgrade and contemplating this option. Would only be on the low beams (the high beam will remain halogen) and since it's already a projector lens the cut off should also work with the HIDs, right? Would appreciate some feedback so I can decide if to switch or simply upgrade to the Phillips.

[CD4Accord]

waxy... I think that the stock projectors will be of sufficient quality to handle the HID's...
I would just make sure to aim them properly after doing the install and go for a relatively low colour temperature.. 5000k or lower, ie. maximum light without as many people flashing you because of the bluish tint..

What sockets are the bulbs on that car, low and high? That would help me in giving you some advice..

PS. Props for asking first before doing.. Good to see that people considering doing HID's the right way..
