I'm thinking of getting new headlights again because the Sylvania ones that were recommended on maxima.org aren't bright enough for me. What type of headlights should i get? I'm leaning more towards the Eurolites because of it's price of $17(if i'm not mistaken), but yeah...help?

THANKS

Eurolites

I have the Eurolites all over the front of my car and they are awesome for the price, I had those Sylvania Blues before and they are nothing compared to these. For the price i'd buy the Eurolites and because they definetly stand out.

Wouldn't buy Eurolights again

I have Eurolights all around (clear corners,corner light,headlight) but my headlights blew after only 3 months. I would not recommend buying the headlights but I do think that the other lights are good for the price. If I were you, I would just spend more for better quality lights like PIAA's or Polorag that last much longer.

Flame me but.......

Mine blew after thre months also but I love them so much and I get 3 months out of my headlights that is fine with me I will contiue to buy them I mean for only $17.99 thta is not bad now if they were $50.00-$100.00 then I would be concerned but I'm fine with them blowing in 3
months but we all are different and have different anmounts of cash to spend but I will take my chances,I have the others too,only my headlights have blown,also you must consider how much you drive with your lights on. It does not matter what brand you have for example if you car has daytime running lamps they will NOT last as long because they are on all the time even the factory bulbs blow from this all the time running. I'm taking up for/defending these lights because I really like them and they are only $17.99 a pair. They work for me........We all do,what,how,when,where,we want,simple,money,time,CHOICES!

the Eurolites

well, most of you agree that the Eurolites provide a sufficient amount of light, even though they might burn out in 3 months. I just want to make sure about one thing. You NEED to buy a wire harness don't you? isn't that an extra $30+? well, if i could get more info about this, it'd be greatly appreciated. =)

There is a lot of talk about high wattage bulbs that you NEED the wire warness but I have no harness and no probs with my bulbs no melting or anything,so it is up to you get the harness or not I don't have it and mine are fine.

i have Cuzo 100/80W 9004's in mine and i would recommend them to anyone, they're a whitish blue.. no yellow at all and they match the polarg corner and side marker lights perfectly. I've had them for over 6 months now and no problems (no harness either), i talked to the guy at the shop where i bought them and he told me that they carried this brand over others because they tend to last, although they were $50. By the way i had the phillips blue visions in my car when i bought it and i mistook them for regular stock bulbs, the color i'm looking for wasn't there. I've also had Piaa's s/w which are great bulbs but i didn't like the color too much (pure white and tad yellow, no blue). I got them b/c i thought they would look like my friends H4 size piaas , but they're completely diff.

You can't touch the housing of the bulb. If you do, the oils from your fingers sit on the housing and cause them to burn hotter, which will make them blow earlier.

If you want bright then get a wiring harness and some 80/100 superwhites. I have the Piaa superwhites and they are whiter and brighter than stock but not worth the normal price (but I got my from carparts and they screwed up so I got them for $20)
