Anyone know where I can find a matrix of lumens of 9004 bulbs? I'm looking to replace my 9004s and I want the brightest. I know the Sylvania silverstars are 700 lumens. I spent quite a while researching this. I found a lot of good things about Narva Range Powers, anyone know more about them?

Most informative site on automotiving lighting I've seen to date.

Want the brightest? Pick up a set of "regular" (non-coated) Sylvania 65/55w 9004 bulbs (as opposed to the 65/45w found in the stock and most 9004 headlamps-- including those Narva "Range Power" bulbs you're looking at) and use these simple instructions from the site on how to wire relays to draw juice directly from your alternator. The extra voltage and the 10w increase versus regular 9004 45w rating for low beams will net you more light than those coated bulbs will ever get you.

 

Thank you!!

Where can I pick up a pair of those 55w/65w bulbs. If I ran 80w/100w clear (non superwhite) bulbs, will that melt anything? I really want to run 80/100 9004 and 85w H3, is that safe?

I tried to edit this post so I don't have to add another reply, but it won't let me

I highly doubt this is safe...but I really want them
