Headlight Question

[miamidolphins187]

I noticed that brand new luxury cars have really blue headlights. I wanted them so I bought Sylvania Cool Blues and come to find out, they're not blue, they're just really white.

Is it possible to replace just the bulb (not the whole headlight) with a blue PIAA bulb? My signature picture of my car looks like I have the headlights I want but that's what photo editing could do when all else fails. If the PIAA bulbs work, how much do they cost and where can I get them without using the Internet?

On our cars you can not just replace the bulb, you replace the glass with the bulb allready sealed inside, like I believe you did for about 30 to 40 bucks. Those luxury cars have pricey High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights. If you want real HIDs in the states get a H4 size HID kit Witch are about $400-$600
I reccomend a Matrix Headlight H4 conversion housing from SummitRacing.com part #GRM-09-120 for $32 to hold the bulbs.
One reason the kits are so expensive because they include new wiring, switch, relay etc.. since our stock wiring will not hold up th the extra power. I have seen this done on a pickup and the differance is godly. Good Luck

My bad, Sylvania has a kit for our car it is summitracing.com part# SYL-X4656 and is $500

I bought those sylvania cool blues. The sealed beam ones. And your right they're not blue but the are a HELLUVA lot brighter over stock!

i did a piaa conversion for my car, bought the bosch h4 kit and a set of superwhite h4 piaa's. one of the bulbs died a year and a day after i bought them but i sweet talked the guy into giving me warranty, anywayz they look awesome and i totally recommend it. costed about $215 cdn for the kit and the lights.

You can find the housings on eBay (your cheapest bet) or at an automovtive store. Get the glass housings...they'll hold their clearness better. I have PIAA Xtreme White bulbs, which are VERY white. The Superwhites and Plasmawhites are more blue than the Xtreme Whites. PIAAs will cost you about $60-75 USD

If you want insane white for you H4 conversion go hereEuro (http://www.eurodezigns.com). I have these in my ride and I have no complaints (though everyone else that is blinded by my lights does!:cool: )

Closest thing there is to HID without buying HID.

I got the glass housing, and a pair of the silvania silverstar bulbs... they are pretty nice, I was WAY proud of them when I first got them.. but of course, over time, they turned more into "the norm"... still as bright as the day I got them, but they don't stun me like they first did... but when I drive my moms van at night, I keep thinking something is wrong with her headlights, because they're soooo dark, you can hardly even see.... because I'm so used to my sylvania's!

if i buy just the housing and some bulbs, will the stock wiring fry? or will i be ok? i really want the brighter blue-er look.

[jonrichert]

you should be fine with the stock wiring, i wouldn't get anything higher than a 55W bulb

HEY, i need brighter back up lights, i have 5 percent window tint and was wondering where i can get brighter back up lights for my 89 lxi. holla back

[PortugalFocus]

Yeah, you can get blue reverse lights at Advanced Auto Parts/AutoZone for $4 or $5. They are 15w I believe, stock are 7 o so. They are Heluva bright I have them on my Focus now.

I've used 85/100w bulbs for my H4's (APC) and havnt had a problem with them yet. I've had the same bulbs fo about 3 years now. they were in my 89 Accord then my 92 Civic now my 00 Focus. Best damn bulbs I've ever bought.

Basically you can hook those up to whatever you want. I want to hook them up to my parking lights but I haven't figured out an easy way to do it, anybody done this before that can help? Anyways, you can also just hook them right up to the battery with a separate switch, which I might end up doing if I can't hook them up to the parking lights.

i have 90W headlights on my car and stock wirring is just fine, but alternator needs to be bigger.
anyway, here is the link for dimond cut headlights conversions and projector lights for our cars.
you need 7x6 size.
