Nokya bulbs suck!! i need something else. what's your headlight setup?
 

hey guys. i have been running nokya arctic whites with an APC rewire harness for awhile. it looked pretty good but one of my bulbs has blown. don't know why but it did. those bulbs sucked. now i'm wondering what you guys would reccomend as a replacement. with my upgraded harness i can handle up to 85 watts and 105 for high beams. i was thinking of some PIAA bulbs. what do you guys use?

i use nokya arctic whites too, i have the stock harness but i ran a larger ground wire right to the frame piece. mine went out a couple times but since i put the new ground in its been great. i think theyre brighter too. what kind of wheels are those ?

"xenon" halogen headlamps sUx0rS

this is my setup:

don't you lose high beams though?


i have teh PIAA upgrades. They're white instead of yellow and look great. They are also much brighter. the only thing that i don't like about them is their performance in the rain. Everyone with PIAA's has said the same thing, they sometimes just suck in the rain. I'm not sure why this is. anyway, i bought em from dex for 20 bucks so you can't beat that :D they're normally like what? 80 or something?

low beams - really really really white w/ a tint of blue; farther away you are from the lights the bluer they look

high beams - bluer than anything else ive seen; get plenty of people to flash their lights at me just w/ the regular beams, when i have the highs on ill get flashed 8 out of every 10 cars.

i got a harness for em too, cuz they're 100/80

They look like factory Altima wheels. Not a bad look.

For $25 at your local parts store >>
 

Philips BlueVisions. Boom...done.

Check out my signature for what I got....
 

I can't remember what they are, but they look tight! They're filled with Xeon gas that simulates those pure white HID bulbs you see on the Lexus's, New Maximas, etc. I bought them at Pep-Boys for ~$30 and I've loved them!

Go to PepBoys and look in the Rice Section. They're made by 3A Racing. $30 bucks, and best of all they're STOCK WATTAGE. :) Nice pure white with a tint of blue in them. I'm very impressed with them. Going on a year now of having them :)

they came off of my friend's 95 maxima gle. they were a factory option for a couple years, but not many cars had them. he got new rims and we figured those would look good on my car. i am really pleased with them.

thanks for the suggestions on the lights, i think i might check out those ones from pep boys. since i already have the upgraded harness, i want to get some higher wattage bulbs though. probably some PIAA bulbs. i still want to check into those pep boys bulbs though.

thanks again,
matt

PIAA's all the way. They do cost more but I haven't seen anything that is brighter. And if put them in the fogs too they look amazing.

Re: Check out my signature for what I got....
 

Sorry to bust your bubble but, those all "HID" bulbs are filled with .0005% xenon gas, and the only reason they are blue is because of the outside glass thats been tinted blue.

other than that its just a ricey bulb

Re: Re: Check out my signature for what I got....
 

xenon gas is nothing new either, rice bulbs are just marketing gurus at work :kiss:

Re: Re: Re: Check out my signature for what I got....
 

w0rd, i believe that xenon existed before man-kind

Where to find xenon? >>

Look on the 8A column with the other noble gases.

Xeon "Rice" Bulbs
 

FYI the bulbs are blue and they do contain Xeon gas in them. When my lights are off, the whole headlight has a blue tint to it and it looks awsome. :cool:

with the bimmer lights, I have PIAA Superwhites on the outside with the PIAA "this light is legal in all 50 states" sticker placed above the radiator brace above both sides. in the inside lights, or the high beams, I have some ricer blue lights that really light up the freakin' road pretty darn good. I like this set up cause I have completely legal stuff to use for everyday use and then the illegal and crazy blue stuff for when I wanna show off or when I wanna see more stuff when the road is clear up ahead...


Pretty fun!!!

where'd you guys get the APC harness, and where did you find name brand 80/100 watt 9004 bulbs?

Re: Xeon "Rice" Bulbs
 

lord, do you know why your headlamp has a tint of blue when they are off?

hmm lets think for a minute, its because the glass on the blub is blue!

harness on eBay, bulbs at any of hundreds of websites...

www.autotoys.com has a ton of stuff, i've found it tends to be kinda pricey. either way i tend to get most of my stuff from eBay if i can find it.

Hey mykizism
 

NO F'IN $HIT YA DILDOE! THAT'S THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE! Glad your small mind caught onto that!:kiss:

I never said that Xeon gas was a "new" thing
 

Can't you guys read? Oh, must be that A.D.D. stuff that's been in the news so much lately. Where are you guys coming from with these retarded comments like that? :rolleyes:

Re: I never said that Xeon gas was a "new" thing
 

Maybe because you keep referring to it as "Xeon":rolleyes:

Re: Hey mykizism
 

my lights are 10 times brighter than your lights. and blue'er :P

anyways, whats the point he was tryign to make?

i totallly lost what he was trying to say. from what i read he was trying to say that his headlamps had a tint of blue when turned off..

now how does that prove his theory that rice bulbs have xenon gas in it? :rolleyes:

i dont know. the world may never know

Back to school for you buddy
 

Alrighty, I guess I have to spell it out for you. :rolleyes: My lights have Xeon gas in them. My lights have a blue bulb. You still with me? When my lights are on, they are bright white. When my lights are off, the natural light hits the blue bulb creating a blue glow. I know that had to be hard, but I think in time you'll....hire a tutor to help you read it and so forth. Good day!

You know, they funny thing is, I could say schiznit any you'd probably understand me perfectly. Another lesson in Ebonics!

Re: Back to school for you buddy
 

OK... so that proves your theory that your bulbs are injected with xenon gas.. How?

Nokya bulbs suck in the rain, and when it's dry. I have phillips bubls they where $25 a bulb, check the sig.

Re: Back to school for you buddy
 

what the hell are you trying to say?

you have riceboy bulbs, they're coated blue and they make riceboy light. what more do you need to argue?

and furthermore, "Xeon" does NOT exist.

Sorry fellas >>
 

I can't find xeon gas on the Periodic Table of Elements? :bonk:
