If you had to choose...

I know this topic has been covered many times over... and I used the search button and found a lot of info but no definite answer... so i want to take a vote...

which headlights would you choose? I would probably get the PIAA Xtreme 9004 lights if I had $75 to pay for em... but I don't want to spend so much on lightbulbs... so:

1. Eurolite Fusion 9004 65/45W
2. Nokya Aractic White 9004 100/80W
3. Xenon White 9004 65/45W Twin Bulb Pack (Heliolite)
4. Xenon White 9004 100/80W Twin Bulb Pack (Heliolite)
5. other bulbs around $30-40 dollars

which will it be? Also, what does the 65/45W & 100/80W mean? (the lower the better right? draws less power?)

Thanks guys!

I would go with #1 or #3, if you get the other bulbs, you run the risk of melting your headlight harness.

I dunno... I've heard good things about Nokya in terms of brightness content. So, with that being said, I'd go with 2 or 3. I've had 1 and they bite @$$!!

And as for your question about the numbers, I believe (and pleeeze correct me someone if I'm wrong) that they represent the wattage output switching from high beam to low beam. So, in other words:

Xenon White 9004 100/80W = 100w @ high beam and 80w @ low beam.

But then again, what da flock to I know??

I have APC whites. i cant remember the exact name, i did say it on the board though so a search will find it.
i paid $9.99 a bulb, onsale and they are very nice. im not saying theyre the best, but they sure do light up alot more area now. next on the list is a BMW convo, or maybe some thing else (you know, be dodge different). my passanger side is fogged so it just diffuses the light and does nothing.
later

PIAA all the way. Just beef up your harness. It's worth it.

buy the cheepest. i just replaced all the bulbs in headlights and corners with APC superwhites. a waste of money in my opinion. it looks no different to me than a regular bulb. all those other ones are the same i think. ive also read that even these rediculous priced piaa superwhite hid look headlights are worse than normal headlights.

I personally have owned some Nokya bulbs before and loved them, best for the money in my opinion, but upgrade your wiring harness before you use them or you will fry the harness.

Just go BMW headlights if you really want some light power!
