APC ARE GOOD FOR THE PRICE I GOT THEM FOR 30 BUCKS AT PEP BOYS


Silverstars are not suppose to look HID. They are for function...30% brighter for folks who want a brighter illumination on the road.


btw, your caps lock is on the left side of your keyboard.

Well, since Smokie already has his projectors, I would suggest Piaa's to go with them. Forgot which ones because they were all written in japanese, but they weren't those crazy 110/90 or whatever it was... Just a slightly higher wattage. They look good (aesthetically) as well as see the road slightly better. It just all goes to hell when it rains though...

Piaa super plasma's are $60 and have a higher color temp. than Silverstar, so they give you a more blue color, and they also provide MORE light ahead of the car, but less on your car sides. Either or, you may love the way your bulbs look, green, blue, purple, whatever.....they will suck during bad weather. Yellow is the ideal color that pierces though bad weather, which is why stock bulbs have that ugly yellow color. Beleive it or not, Honda bulbs are very efficient...but who wants stock? :exnbp:

well, what I was thinking for the projectors was getting some good hyperwhites for the lowbeams (honestly, I think I may go with nokiya artic whites. had them before, and I was happy with them. I also never had them go out on me before). Living in a large city (number 9 in the nation as far as population), I don't really have to worry that much about visibility. Also, it doesn't rain here a whole lot.

but just in case, I think I'll be getting yellow highbeam lights. Any good yellow bulbs out there? Like lexus fog lamp yellow?

Check autodynamic.com for yellow lights as well as optiblue and piaa's. Lights are something you just trial and error until you find something you like.

i have the PIAA Platinum Super White and they have a very crisp white color. They are brighter than stock and give a little bit better illumination. I highly recommend them.

save your money and stick with stock bulbs. blue bulbs only attract attention from the po
