well, and obvious solution to your problem (especially if you have an upgraded wiring harness) would be to go with a much higher wattage bulb (like 85+ watts)....however, I've heard that if you do that in your stock civic headlights, the heat of the bulb will melt the crap out of your housings. From what I've heard, if you want bulbs that are bright yet safe for your equiptment, get silverstars.

the only "drawback" i guess u could say is they dont "look" as bright as the hyperwhites. LOOKING AT the bulbs (not at wat they light up) you'd think the hyperwhites are brighter since they're just so damn white, but they dont light up the road as good, ricers need not apply i guess.

But now the other people on the road thank u for not blinding them on the road.

Well I was a lil skeptical at first but tonight I drove through some back roads with no lights and WOW, these lights are great...


but i did pass through some fog and I can see how they aren't that great in bad weather compared to a yellower light (some fogs with yellow lights is next).


OHH and HIGH beams blind poor pedestians and hitchhikers. LOL they would just put there hands out to block the light as I past...

AND they only cost $40 and I got a free lil nascar toy in the package. GREAT DEAL.

superwhites suck in snow... i convinced myself last year that they were good, but they suck, makes me wanna go back to OEM.

anyone run HIDs in snow? does it reflect harshly?

sorry if im a little offtopic.

I have been running some hiper industries hyperwhites with some amber fog lights for the past year, and honestly, the amber fogs help out a ton in the snow/rain....I would consider them a must for anyone who has any type of blue/white headlights. I'm ditching this setup now though...I'm gonna be going with some OSRAM silverstars and some Piaa clear foglights...now my car is gonna be really bright :thumbup:
