Headlights/ headlight bulbs.
Hey guys. couple Q's here,
1)Which head light bulb do u guys suggest? i have talked to many sport compact enthusiasts and they all prefer Sylvania Silverstar series due to them being the whitest/brightest. (by the way im looking for the whitest bulb) 2) i have to replace a headlight here soon. i see alot of people saying how they prefere stock rather than the projector or projector/halo. is it cause they are crap? or just tacky. basically im looking for something good to show off some good bulbs. and if u do recommend proj. wheres a good place to get them? for a good price? are they ebay ones good? 3)A couple guys i have talked to have done a certain highbeam modification for thier low beams. its where u trim or modify a 9005 bold to fit the low beam socket, giving you very bright lowbeams. directions can be seen on www.fourthgenhatch.com i think? is this good? bad? opinions 4)And last. ive been looking for a great corner light 194 bulb and nothing has come up good yet. again looking for bright white. i think first i got some apc ones, but they still looked like that yellowish white. next was some eurolite, white LED bulbs but they turned out too blue. any suggestions???? thanks peace

Re: Headlights/ headlight bulbs.
silver stars are best I'v found
Its basicly a matter of taste. If you get projectors make sure to seal them up with silicon because more than likely they will leak. Heard mixed oppinions on light output, dont own them personally. definatly do the 9005 conversion cant help you on white side markers.

Re: Headlights/ headlight bulbs.
not really unless you get a headlight housing designed for them. H4 has high and low beam in one bulb and our headlights are designed for it to be in two seperate bulbs

Re: Headlights/ headlight bulbs.
I might be getting some projectors for my future 5th gen cause they're one piece and look bitchin but the 4th gen just look to me a little to bling-bling goin down the road.
The 9005 conversion is worth it. I've seen the difference and it's a good leap for better lighting. And I would like to know too what corner lights would give off a white light to match the headlights? Mine are way to yellowish and dull looking.

Re: Headlights/ headlight bulbs.
