Thread: Headlight bulbs? Whats the best/ most bright?

Well I ordered my ebay black headlights yesterday to replace my busted and ugly stockers and I figure I should go ahead and put some new bulbs in while I'm at it. I want bright and clean, no blue rice looking bulbs just bright clear clean white. What do you guys run? We have 9007's right? TIA -Adam

I agree about tha silverstars..i had a set in my strat..they where super bright.

I got a set ebay 8000k bulbs in my buick now..i got them cause they fit tha blue theme i'm doing.They a brighter than i thought, Plus they where only like $10. they've have lasted 4 months & for that price i can't complain..

If you stay with halogens look into the following options besides silverstars. With PIAA's your paying for the name. GE Nighthawks and Philips Xtreme power. They will appear a little more yellow than silverstars but they have a clear glass lens and maximum lumen output. The bluish colored glass limits light output.

Thanks for the input guys

I wouldn't recommend them. It's not a question of if you'll damage something; it's a question of whether the wiring or the housing will go first.

Adding a relay harness is the most noticeable way to get brighter light form halogen bulbs. The brightest 9007 bulb you're going to find is the Philips X-treme Power.

Avoid the blue tinted bulbs. The blue tint filters out light, which will never make the bulb brighter. The Sylvania SilverStars use a hotter burning filament, which produces more light (making them as bright through the blue tint as a regular un-tinted bulb) but shortens the bulb life.

These melted my wiring and started to melt my lenses in my beater neon i had

Forget all those...If you use a 9005 or 9006 bulb go to your John Deere dealership and get some HIR bulbs (Halogen Infrared)

HIR Headlights 9011 9012 bulbs read up on these

John Deere they are only about $14.00 each for 75% more light output!

I was ensured that the price was for a pair...In fact it was for a single...John Deere must be catching on to this trick.

HIR bulbs do not come in 9007. So you don't need to worry about those. The 04+ people can use them as well as those who use the projectors on 97-03's. As stated any bulb that does not have a blue coating is a good bulb. Nighthawks and philips xtreme power are nice choices. You can run a relay harness to have the battery powering the bulbs instead of the factory wiring. Silverstars have a blue coating and tend to burn up quickly due to sylvania having the filiment burn hotter. If you decide to run high wattage clear bulbs then definitely get a relay harness, or your wires may melt. This is if you want to stick with halogens.
