ok depends what your going for overall light output or facny show i mean if you want a quality set of hids gunna cost you 200$ the ones you were looking at are bottom of the line chinese junk prolly wont last that long and will probably flicker the PIAA bulbs are awesome they have a huge name for them but if i was you i would just go down to autozone or wherevever and get a set of silverstar ultras. honestly its the first thing i do with all my cars i ever buy upgrade to silver star ultras. they are pretty white. but compared to NOkYA or PIAA not comparable on the white spectrum if you want really white and super bright buy a set of NOkYA since your already getting new plug ins then they wont melt them because there not factory. unless you orederd them from nissan here are your options.

good luck man man i know PIAA is one of the top brands out there but silverstars are just down the road

 

Thanks for the info and taking time to answer. Whats the life span on the piaa bulbs from the reading ive doing silverstars dont have a long life couple 8 months tops

 

yea sorry no idea on how long they last but all i know is the brighter the bulb the shorter the lifespan maybe they have warrnty nevery know wouldnt hurt to read up a little bit

 

in your case any regular halogen bulbs will have a longer life span than the HID kit you bought.

PIAA is a bit pricey but I love them and is all I have. They never disappoint. They also have alot of different color temps you can go for.

If you are worried about budget go with Sylvania Silver Star Ultras and I repeat ULTRAS, beacause the basic Silver Stars are ok but not the same by any means. I have used them and they were awesome for their price and pretty comparable to certain PIAAs

Life spans vary on Halogen bulbs but you should be fine for a while. at least 12 months

 

Amazon has a deal for Phillips extreme vision. I've used this bulb before getting obsessed with HID retrofit.

 

exactly what he said it would be the red package the most exspensive ones

 

Yup, had tossed in an hid hit in another car. Directly in front had no light but it tossed light in every other direction.

It pisses the sh¡t out of me that hid laws aren't enforced in california.

 

dam guys should hae listen to you, the hids in the housing i have do no lay don any light at all im pretty pissed i just threw away 90 bucks. im keep them on for a week or so. until next paycheck so i can get the piaa bulb's, should have done that in the first place

 

We all learned the hard way........I know I did too. If you ever want to sell those headlights, I'll buy it from you

 

You want the housingvor the hid kit

 

The headlights.

 

dont think im going sell them, its the only ones i have lol. you wanted to retrofit them?

 

Yes, looking for cheaper option than Ebay..

 

after having the hid kit and only had it for couple of months i got tired of it. and just purchase the extrme white plus headlight and fog lights from piaa. i couldnt take it now beeing able to see anything at night. ill post some pics up once i get the bulbs in

 

Good choice, i think you'll be pretty happy. i have them also in my fogs and high beams.

post pics, it would be nice to see how they look in low beams,

 

yeah ill def post some pics up hopefully they well help others because i hated the hid's. lighted up everything except the road lol should get them sometime monday or tuesday and will take some pics.

 

I'm actually in same boat I was going to get an H.I.D kit but I don't want to deal with the hassle of retro fit or hunting a headlight that had it so I just went with GP Thunder 7500k on the headlights and fog lights GP thunder 8500k and I've been using them for the past few months and there pretty good I had siverstars ultras before but i didnt like the way they shoot out but its was pretty decent

 

pics would help, never heard of the brand, but if i had to guess from the 8000k marketing its probably rice blue.

 

Blue coating on bulbs ruins output.
