what do you use/have M4h?

 

[Pacfanweb]

I have them, can't tell a difference from my factory lights.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I have them

They're a whiter light, which makes it appear as if it's brighter. Personally, I like them

 

[dartworth]

I use them in my Ram..much better than stock and they are legal.

You can get them @ AutoZone

I have them in my lows on my Integra. The stock blubs were geting dim, so I just went to walmart and got a set. Overall not bad, definititly an upgrade over the oem bulbs. I might get a set of high beems for xmas, not sure though.

 

[GprophetB]

interesting, yeah im not looking for anything super expensive and ive heard these are too bad. Whats the price OTD that everyone paid that has them

 

[NutBucket]

Had a set for a while. One of 'em blew out within 2 or 3 months. At $25 a pop I didn't want to shell out again if it wasn't going to last very long so I went for something else. To me Cool Blues are a much better bulb/deal.

I have a pair installed last month. can't be happier with it. they are really bright white halogen light bulb. I heard their life is really short tho. most last 2 years or less. if you have daytime running light, don't even bother with it.

I guess my old bulbs really sucks. I remember it was hard to see the sign on the highway, even with high bean on. but now, I think it is little too bright with I can high bean to see the sign.

edit: oh, I paid $30 shipped for a pair on ebay. I may get the xtravision, if this one last less than a year.

I have them for my lowbeam lights. A better bulb than the dim OEM ones. Good buy for me!

Factory lights in the factory housing (04 Civic). Might be an 03/04 thing, but there's a ricer friend who swapped out his bulbs for the Sylvanias, and they not only look like ass oncoming, but don't provide any better lighting.

Well, when I tried silverstars they were about @25 each. I think they can be had significantly cheaper nowadays. I think Cool Blues are about $5 each.

 

[imported_digitalelegance]

I got a pair at AutoZone for $20 a bulb. I've had them for about a year, without any problems.

go with xtravision, they are better than cool blue. why do people want blue bulbs? do they not know it is harder for them to seee in rain and snow?

 

[ironcrotch]

Sorry, I know nothing.

 

[iamwiz82]

I have friends who have them. Other than being annoying because they are improperly aimed, I don't think they have added anything. If you really want an upgrade, you really need to go to Xenon lighting.

No, they don't. They buy into marketing BS and blatantly false claims about color temperature and don't ever bother to use that grey lumpy thing they have taking up space between their ears.

Don't waste your money on these... I'm going back to the no name ones I had before.

 

[GprophetB]

Wish i could see some good pics of each

or even a vid,

i dont want blue lights at all actually, so im ruling those out. I just want some nice bright white bulbs

 

[NutBucket]

What kind of car have you got?

 

[Colt45]

if you want bright light just buy some jiggawatt ones.

ie. stock H4 is 45/65 (?)
step up is 80/100

not sure about legality, and it's a good idea to run relays.. but it's *bright*.

It will also melt the plastic reflectors in most modern cars.
