NON HID lighting options

[J_Corr]

Well I'm tired of being a complete asshole and running HID's in an halogen headlight. What is everyone running for hi output halogens? I would like to match current 6K lights.

Sylvania Silverstars are the main high output halogen that comes to mind. My sister's carolla has some and they are bright as fuck

This. Just make sure you use the dielectric grease in there or else they burn out like every 6 months

Why not just do a retrofit? You'll be blown away by the output of them

I was going to do retro but they look like ass in Chevy lights.

HIR bulbs, 9011/9012 iirc.

Ill have to get some pictures of mine. I don't think they look bad at all. I used the oem lights, and cleared them while I was at it.
Left the shroud chrome. Looks pretty good

velds now has 2000 lumen LED bulbs for 9005/9006 bulbs stock halogen is somewhere around 1500 lumen

LED headlights are bad. Lumen /=/ a good measure of distance.

This. I have a set in the lows and highs, they are very bright for halogens :imo:

And this.

Leds are intense, but they DO NOT throw enough light a far enough distance to be useful as headlights.

I had a set in my fogs one time and you could barely see them while driving.

This. My stepdad got a pair for his fogs as well and they look sweet, but dont throw light for shit..

HID retrofit would be the best. Jusy copy BMW and throw some blue cathode lasers in there.

LED cubes

 

[silvr z]

I hear a lot about the HIR bulbs, has anyone actually ran them?

 

[Ginger]

LED cubes

how many people have to tell you that LED's suck for headlights.

 

[slicksierra]

LOLOL! I guarantee that spot pattern dually's in the high beams would looks better and shoot farther than an HIR… I understand maybe those drop in bulbs being shitty but not some nice dually's

 

[Ginger]

how will it look good, it will look like crap

 

[slicksierra]

That would be the tricky part.

I have Silvania Silverstar zXe in my Highs, and both the Highs and Lows in my Subaru and they are very bright. they are the closest to HID's I have ever seen from a regular bulb. They are aobut a 4300-5000K color.
