I once posted that I bought a set and returned them because one of them has no Low beam. Well, I got a replacement and now one of them is DIMMER than the other!! got to thank Alex at SWA for the good customer serveces though but these bulbs are

Guess Ill save up for HIDs now

 

I bought some generic ones from JC Whitney. Xenoon high wattage. 3 years and they are still going strong.

 

actually i have the same problem...but in actuallity, one of my headlights is out of alignment, though it was aligned the second before i installed the Nokya's...so i dunno, check your alignment and see if that's kosher then hit the guys back up at SWA, they're all great guys...

 

Oh, you are having a "one-bulb-dimmer problem" too? Let me tell you what it is.........nothing....I went to the dealer, they told me it was the bulbs....As the owner of SWA, I have, at my disposal, hundred and fifty pairs of 9004s....I put in four different ones, and they all were the same...Its not the bulbs, its the harness...Something rather with the interuption of electrical flow crap...I still haven't figured it out...

This is on my 99 GXE btw..

 

what if i have the upgraded harness? and i dunno whats the problem, i tried to realign the lights but still one is still dimmer...i dunno...whatever...

 

That sucks!!!! You know you want the hanabi's anyway...

 

its the harness well atleast it was mine. swap bulbs around unplug the upgraded harness and see what happens

Cheston has this problem currently

 

I'm guessing you've got an aftermarket wire-harness?

 

Thanks guys. At least I know Im not the only one.

My headlights are not out of allignment and also the dim one looks exactly like a STOCK bulb, its even yellowish in color! I dont think its my harnesses since I can swap the bulbs back and forth each side and every side that the dim bulb is on it will be dim so I suspect its the bulb.
I dont know what I'll do now. Dont think I can return them for another pair..again

 

hey, Ill trade you your HIDs for this cool orange harness plug you know u want it

 

buy HID

Ant

 

Yep, thats deffinetly on my list right after I get my VI stuff taken care of and all that

 

Check your ground on the harness....maybe move it to a better location.

 

Try a different brand of bulbs??

 

gonna try new grounds when i get home, maybe new lights, and switching bulbs...

 

I dont think its my grounds. I can switch the bulbs back and fourth and the dimmer bulb will be dim either side and the Bright bulb is bright on either side also so its getting good connections on both sides of the harnesses.

 

Hmmm, how about for a bowl of PHO???!!!!!

 

+ 1

 

Pho Ga?

Nismo this really sucks, I was right about to buy these but now I'm going to hold off. Max7's looks so good in the pics, I just can't find a logical explination why yours don't.

Yea I dont know either. I think its just that I had 2 defective bulbs 2 times in a row and believe that if I get a WORKING bulbs right now, I'll have 2 good bulbs that work.

I dont feel like trying to get a refund or replacement so Ill just keep my one Nokya unless Anyone would like to donate a working bulb

 

it cant be only you, or only me then...cuz a year ago, my nokya bulbs did the same thing, the low beams went out and i was only left with highs...but i didnt get the whole "dimmer" issue, however since my wire harness's did melt out several times and bulbs kept blowing and all this nonsense, i decided to just go with HIDs, and im ever so glad i did, its well worth it!

 

i did not got your problem,but my bulb(low beam)went out on me with only 4 months,and when i removed the other one,i saw the silver part and the blue tint was peeling out.

 

the 1st pair I bought, one of them already nad no low beam to begine with. 2nd pair one has a low beam that is dimmer than stock

 

On a side note...I love your nissan guy humpin the honda.

 

Update:

Just blew a low beam on my Artic Purple Nokya 80/100 watts...i have the upgrade headlight harness...I'm seriously considering HID, stupid bulbs never last long enough...

 

What's with the Low beam's blowing so fast with the upgraded harnesses? I just blew mine tonight, but i haven't checked any fuses or the harness yet. I did my harness and bulbs in January of this year...I have no idea if that's a long time for these or not. But I'm considering HID now.

 

how long u had ur?i just install my purple one last week,let see how long this sucker last,

 

Could there be a quality issue with this brand of bulbs??

I've been here a few months now and the only bulbs that I've seen people complain about are Nokyas. They either blow early, completely shatter in the housing, or don't work right from the beginning.

 

Hmmmm....i say this is my typical experience with Korean bulbs(I am Korean, so i'm not hatin) I say it could be a quality problem but i have experienced the same thing through maybe 6 sets of Korean made bulbs...the only sets of bulbs i've had anything good to say are a brand called Nakayama Racing sport HID Feeling bulbs...i regret ever giving those up...those lasted almost 2 years and i gave 'em up to try the latest trend in hyper bulbs...

I have had my Nokya's for a little over 5 months, and using an upgraded headlight harness...
