Headlights/ headlight bulbs.

Darb 2k · #1 09-06-2004, 01:15 AM

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

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.

arent the h4 the best to covert over to on a 4th gen before going hid?

TheSilentChamber · #6 09-06-2004, 02:45 AM

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

YZ125rider21 · #7 09-06-2004, 03:08 AM

so what housing i have to get to support that jdm headlights?

yea im not a HUGE fan of the projectors, for some reason theya re too ricey for me. i like stock alot better.

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.

I'm not 100% but I believe mine are Sylvania blue corner bulbs in my clear corners... nice and bright white.

yea ive seen the 5th gen ones too, damn they look so clean and nice, the one peice sure does make a difference.

TheSilentChamber · #14 09-06-2004, 04:55 PM

I modified my housing and got a bulb plug from junk yard, that way I dont have to do it if I ever have to buy another bulb

how easy was it to do the plug? cut and reconnect? im guessing you soldered and heatshrinked? rather then butt connect
