Hey guys, does anyone know why some people's hyperwhite halogens look so much brighter and bluer than mine? I paid $30.00 for a set of 2 and thought they would be good, but some people's on the street where most people cruise in Albuquerque have WAY better lights than me... what determines how good they are? I wanna buy better ones now...

 

get some nokya artic whites and a rewire harness and your lights will be lookin good!!!!

 

ive got Showoff krypton/xenon bulbs (dont know if u can really have both gasses in the same bulb but..). they have a pretty bright white look to them, they make my clear corner bulbs look horrible in comparison, and in some angles they have a cool blue circle in the middle. i paid $25 i think, and im happy

 

im using matrix hyperwhites...very white up close and it gets bluer when u look at the car farther away. paid 30 and happy with them

 

where did yall get those?

 

off ebay actually

 

i don't care what kind of bulbs you have i think the 3rd gen head light housing sucks. they have way too many lines thingies going through them which distorts the light. for example civic head lights (don't flame me, just using it as an example) has barly any lines at all. just clear glass and the lights go through them very well, also there is alot of chrome reflective crap in them too. unless you get bmw head light conversion or something to that effect our lighting will never be as bright as some other cars. just venting cause i want my lights brighter too.

 

there must be somewhere we can get those clear headlights besides the bmw conversion no?

 

Actually, it's probably the reflector itself that's determining the actual BRIGHTNESS of the bulb. Yeah, the bulb DOES have a lot to do with it, but not moreso than the reflector, I think. I just took a pic of my bulbs (which are CuZo's BTW) alongside PrinzII's Piaa's that I'll post up today or tomorrow. I think mine are pretty bright and I see the same issue that khrfadz sees - brighter up front, and bluish further out.

 

yes the bulb has alot to do with the brightness but i was just venting on sucky our light houseing is.
