Headlight Bulbs?
Headlight Bulbs?
Hey Guys
Im looking to change it up a bit after seeing some cars out this weekend. What kind of headlight bulbs does everyone use? Im looking for the Halogen Look like the new Max comes with. What does everyone use, and where did you get them? (website) pics would help too...Thanks everyone

I use the regular stocks............For a short while I used regular halogens that were rated at a higher wattage, but when I found out that i'm eventually going to melt the headlight lense (because it's plastic) I went back to stocks.
The best halogen I've used and researched are:
Stock replacement with more output: Philips VisionPlus or GE Megalightplus
For similar output plus color (blue): Philips Power2Night GT150 The reason Why I like this one is because it is clear glass with a blue tip. It doensn't necessarily tint the light thereby reducing output--like the Silverstars or other tinted bulbs, rather it's more of a reflector. I compared this to my Sylvania Silverstars and there is no competition. They blew the Silverstars out of the water.

Whatever you do, do NOT get Sylvania SilverStars like the post above said. I put SilverStars in the car I had before my I30 and they blew out after about 6-8 months. I thought it was a fluke, but when the new SilverStars that I replaced the originals with also blew, I got even more suspicious. I went on this and other forums, and sure enough, many others had similar problems. They do produce a good light, but STAY AWAY!!!
I would suggest going with PIAA bulbs. You can get a pair for around $40.00 on eBay. Good luck!
