headlights

[Crazybird]

im wondering do they make those bright blue headlights for our cars. like the ones u see on all the ricers or some of the newer cars like the caddy cts?

thx

[HondaBoy]

yeah. they make H4 conversion housings, which you can look on many aftermarket sites and find. ebay you can find the lights. as for the bulbs, it will be an H4 bulb. i've never liked the output of light that the blue bulbs put out so i wouldnt recommend them. light blue tinted ones are ok. also, the ones you see that are dark blue tinted and say they have a high wattage such as 90/120 watt or something similar really arent brighter than a stock type bulb in my experiences.

[Crazybird]

where can i find these colord ones will a auto parts shop have them?

[mkymonkey]

lol you dont want to get blue colored lights. i believe they are illegal. if you just want the effect with better lighting and lights that are in fact legal, i say go with some silvania sylverstars H4 bulbs not the sealed beams. and please dont buy the plastic housings off of ebay for 5 bucks. spend the money for some Auto-Pal E codes so you can do the H4 conversion right.

here ill even be nice and provide some links for ya....so ive done the work for ya all you have to do is pay! :D

Buy these H4 Conversion lamps (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/200mm-H6054-H4-EURO-STYLE-HEADLIGHTS-Like-HELLA-CIBIE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ014QQit emZ330007065741QQtcZphoto)

if you want to go with the best h4 conversion lights go with these...but they cost 80 bucks! (http://www.rallylights.com/hella/200mm.asp)

[jschatte]

I know this cause i work at canadian tire:)

[Crazybird]

as in this silvania sylverstars H4 bulbs

and by any chance im gonna go there like tommorrow so can u find out how much it would cost :):):) so if i need to take money out i can hehhehehe

[mkymonkey]

they cost $19.99 USD....and thats each bulb

[Crazybird]

ok so do i get the bulb and the actaul glass light? or do i need to buy the housing wich is the h4 right? not sealed

[2ndGenGuy]

If you're just going to get Silverstars, you should just stick with the sealed beam ones. The replacement housings I've used don't seem to be engineered at all to have the light focused. Even with high-quality H4 bulbs, the light just goes off in any direction and doesn't give you any kind of good lighting. I think they're just built to "good enough" standards.

The Silverstar sealed beams are built to DOT standards, and are built by a reputable company unlike the generic housing conversions. Even with good bulbs in them, they can sometimes seriously suck.

I think Hella makes a set for your cars that would probably work well though. Since Hella is a reputable company. If I was going to do a conversion, I'd do the Hella housings and HID. Otherwise I wouldn't waste my time. And don't run 95 watt bulbs without running a new wiring circuit. All you will do is overheat your wires and they will melt and blow bulbs out. For that matter, don't run any bulbs that are rated above 55/65 watts. It's just asking for trouble.

[Crazybird]

i decided to get the sealed beams since they were soooo much cheaper then buying the h4 housing which was like 90 dollars:omg:

but i got the silvania cool blue which apparently are street legal and are dot approved and very much less work and money so im gonna try them out tonight


and i found a set of clear front signal lights can someone tell me how to get them out and how much they would cost if they were new... thx

[Crazybird]

oh and i took a pic fo my new grill :)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a234/Crazybirdz/honda19copy.jpg

of course mine actaully has rust on the hood from stone chips :crying: so i did a qquick photo shop and to hide my pl8s lol :)

[Crazybird]

oh yeah just washed it in that pic too and theres only a little photo shoping as in just touch ups on the lower (darker) white of the hood

[mkymonkey]

lol...so you went with the cool blue. and you downgraded to an 86-87 grill....


anyway just an FYI, Autopal is comparable to Hella...otherwise i wouldnt have gotten them. on the autopal's there is a line that aims the light perfectly straight. the only thing you have to adjust is to have them centered and line up the cutoff lines. easy!

how much did you get them for? i got silvania whitestars for 19.99 each so it came out to like 43.00 after taxes. my mom said that the right bulb was the original one that came on the car...since the left one burn out once...i replaced them both since one was weaker than the other one and now it makes a big diference.i bet HIDs would do that too but not worth it the money.

[Crazybird]

mine were 21 each canadian dollars so it came out to 45 i think in total

[Crazybird]

aww u bastard in stores thats like 150 bucks worth of lights :'(

only if i had a credit card

[Gemini2003]

You could be in debt like me :-)

[3gn86lxi]

All you bastads need to shutup and go HID. Like me!
MMMMmmm, and I don't mean "bulbs" I mean a TRUE conversion. You are whining about $100 bucks for housings..................I have 5 bills into my headlights. Yes $500 roughly into my headlights.
Thats the ONLY way to go.

[Gemini2003]

If you want to spend more on headlights then you paid for you car (in my case) lol I'm fine only spending $50 for a nice upgrade.

[Crazybird]

same here since i got my car for free lol and if im not impresed with these lights after i get my body fixed ill go and buy a h4 conversion but untill then i will keep my lights and plus i dont have a job :P

and dude that grill looks way nicer then the 88-89 more chrome= cooler llook :P

[mkymonkey]

You could be in debt like me :-)


well aint that the fucking truth!

[sinisterfuzzy]

so those hellas, when there on do they look that much different from stock?

[mkymonkey]

the ones he bought? gemini2003 i mean....those are autopals

[Crazybird]

monkey what ever happend to ur carbon fiber hood???

[3gn86lxi]

so those hellas, when there on do they look that much different from stock?
The Autopals are a Hella equivelant, and yes they are a HUGE improvement over stock. Then when you add a high quality HID conversion like I have, you are talking about...........a 100% brighter, crisper output of light.
It's all about how much you are willing to invest. Because it really is an INVESTMENT. I can transfer the kit too when I get rid of the car! :)

[sinisterfuzzy]

sure, i just mean all around H4s, do they really differ that mcuh from stokc look?

[mkymonkey]

monkey what ever happend to ur carbon fiber hood???

what are you talking about? i still have it :D

[Crazybird]

hmm from ur pics it dont look like it unless u painted it and if u did im ashamed

[Pico]

hmm from ur pics it dont look like it unless u painted it and if u did im ashamed
Dude monkey's hood looks good even with it painted you can still see that it a carbon fiber hood

[ghettogeddy]

sure, i just mean all around H4s, do they really differ that mcuh from stokc look?
yes i had the seald bema silverstars and they were better then a stock replacement but when i got my autopal's and my oshram silver stars it was like 50 times better light output then stock but i also did a wire upgrade ot sure if it helped at all but did it anyways, after everything i bought i think i spent about 150

[frantik]

i got sealed beam silverstars.. they're waaaay better than the cheapo ebay h4s i had in my old ride, and a lot better than stock too.

and where are those autopals sold for $55 shipped?
