Head Lights...

[86ccord]

anyone know the part number i need to look for when buying new head light bulbs?

thanks!

Cannot replace the bulb unless you have H4 conversion. We have sealed beams, which are 200mm i believe.

[itzdave]

the bulb is called 6054

[labeledsk8r]

yeah you have to stick with sealed beams.. unless you upgraded to some H4's if you want some good bright selaed beams then look into some cool blues from GE... there a bit more costly but one of the best lights you can get without going H4... in fact i still have my set sitting in storage lol

[itzdave]

or you could get the egay 'projector h4 lights', thats what i got.

cah your in idiot.... theres a difrence... i had snaped a pic of the difrence but i think it got deleted.. its not anything compaired to H$'s though its just one of the brightest selaed beams i have seen




aight i think thats what imma go with.. so yeah.. thanks guys.. yeah im fixin to treat my self.. and my car to a very i mean VERY merry christmas.. lol thanks again!

well if you really REALLY wana treat yourself and the car... go H4 houseings with silverstar bulbs (your your chooseing of bulb)

[MessyHonda]

when i got my car it only had stock...then i upgraded to silverstar sealed lights and i thought it was really good improvement...now i have the Autopal H4 lights that are DOT aproved and they are supper nice...if you want something nice get the H4...my kit only cost like 48 bucks...and its worth it. then later you can always upgrade to HID

[mushroom_toy]

Do the Silvania Silverstars. Best bright light for your money.

h4 is ftw. jap cars come frm japan with sealed beams. and i laughed so hard when ppl replace a sealed with a sealed. I allways steal some h4 bulbs frm a nz new accord and buy some nice high quality white but no too white ones.

[itzdave]

my ebay H4 projectors were only 20 bux, and the came with bright wight bulbs.

How are them ebay lights working for you? I saw a pair that I wanted.:wave:

[itzdave]

theyre not that bad, a lot better than the sealed bulbs. plus they kinda make a cool light pattern on the road/tree/whatever, not like real projectors, but still cool.

[86ccord]

hmm yeah cool cool.. alot of good ideas for me to consider.. thanks guys you all are alot of help.. when i get them in some time in january ill have pics up..

[MessyHonda]

i would stay away from the ebay projector lights

[86ccord]

i would stay away from the ebay projector lights

why is that? is that because the picture could be wrong and you get something different in the mail?

[itzdave]

i got what was in the pic, but they are definately not 'real' projectors, just mainly a cheap h4 upgrade, with a little lense that changes the light pattern a little.

[BDaccordguy]

I had the Silverstar sealed beams In mine when I still had it, they were a large improvement over the stock lights in either of the 3rd gens I had.

[86ccord]

allright well guys my parents decided to take me christmas shopping yesterday.. and i got me a few things... and when i went to go look for some head light bulbs.. the guy at pepboys talked me into getting the whole H4 upgrade.. so later on when i get money..imma do the Upgrades.. so thanks for everyones help..

On this subject, if you look around at the JY for the eighties vintage cars that came with these 6054 ights you can find some that have plastic housings. With those you can put in or make whatever kind of light system you want. I used to look for those to put strobe bulbs in.
they look the same as the glass ones, but thump them with your finger and you can tell the plastic ones. You can use plastic windshield polish to keep them nice and clear.

[lostforawhile]

if you do the H4 lights also do the relay upgrade under the hood,they pull more current and the factory switch is already on the edge of overload. especially on the early hatches,since the switches are no longer made you don't want to burn up one. summit racing sells these kits if you don't know how to wire them yourself. they take battery current and run it directly from the battery to the lights,and the factory switch only controls the relays,not the high current anymore.

[chriskatana]

Do any of you with the h4 conversions have trouble with water getting in your housings?? I put some on a firebird I had, with flip up lights, and the housings filled up with water.

Thanks

No i do not have a problem with water in my lights. You must have had cheap lights or you didn't install the seal correctly.

[labeledsk8r]

^^ i agree, i have only heard of cheap ebay knock offs leaking and makeing the dreaded "fish tank" conversion lol

[teamontherun]

I have Ebay fake projectors with no leaks. When I opened them I was suprised how well they were built. the headlight has no plastic at all. the front is glass and the housing is like ceramic or something. its weird. The hids were off ebay also. pretty sweet. $100 for headlights and hids. Ill see how long they last.

H4 with HID FTW!

[russiankid]

I have the Hella H4 conversion and its great, i recommend it.

[86ccord]

allright guys.. my friend of mine drives a 2003 eclipse GTS and he ordered some aftermarket bulbs for his car and they sent him two sets of the same bulb..well anyhow.. if i could read japenese i would tell you what brand they are..but those bulbs run for like.. idk $85.00 for a set.. sooo after i get my conversion kit.. you all should be lookin for some nice pictures..

[MessyHonda]

make sure the bulbs run at like 55watts or else you will fry the wires

[86ccord]

55watts? what if i upgraded the wires? what or how big of a wire would i need?

also see post #27, use a relay setup and fresh pigtails.

yeahh that's the set up im lookin at.. just plug my bulbs in and im good to ride.. but i talked to my dad about what would happen if i didnt change the wires out.. and he said only the "old" connectors would burn out.. thats all and we were planning on changing them out anyhow..

[AC439]

I did my H4 conversion briefly using cheap Ebay lights which were also made for right hand drive cars. I had water seal problems.

I then found a pair of Sylvania Extra vision sealed beam on sale for $20 in Advance auto so I brought them and also ran my own wires and relay running directly from battery. I'm very happy about it. It is much brighter than the original 35w low beam (Extravision has 55w low beam) and the beam pattern is very nice. No more water problems to deal with.

[lostforawhile]

i wonder if a set of those ebay lights if they were sealed with epoxy right out of the box would be allright

Better to get Hella's or Autopals.

[itzdave]

mine dont have leaking problems, cuz i leave my lights up all the time cuz the little bezel thing is broke and if i try to close them it gets all smashed up and wont close all the way and sticks there.
