Mr. Jones Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I know these discussions come and go on a daily basis. I've heard of people getting brand x on ebay/ online ect. and having good success. I love the silverstars but i've had not soo great luck with their lifespan. Anytime its remotely foggy / approaching dust i got my lights on. I think i burn them out quickly. Has anyone found any decent/cheap bulbs online /ebay or otherwise that are brighter than the stockers/xtravisions ect. but also have great life? Discuss. Yes its a crappy topic, but its also winter so bite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 catz is good stuff. seriously, though. pay for an hid kit, gain the ability to see into the future with just your low beams on, and never change your bulbs again. ask anyone whos driven my car.

SpaceGhost Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Just remember white and blue light suck on wet roads......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just remember white and blue light suck on wet roads......... +1 It seems to be a matter of contrast. IE: on a semi-bright wet, raining night on 270 you can barely tell you have headlights on. I've thought about getting some yellow-ish fogs just for such occasions.
