Default The Best "HID" style headlight blubs

I'm getting some "HID" style headlight bulbs in few days for my 03 coupe. Any suggestions in brands? I'm thinking about a japanese brand called "MTEC", or maybe Nokyas.

id rather spend that elsewhere in the car, but since you arent, dont get hyperwhite.........they are just more white than usual. You are looking for something that will definitely say "off road use only", but check out street glow (the ones on their website are expensive, but at somewhere like JCW spot compact, they are half price). And remember, no matter what you get, its not going to really look like HID unless if you get projectors.....it just looks similar.

I think it's all a waste of money unless you get real HID's.

well...yea true. but i promised myself that i'm only gonna fix-up my car to a limit.
My last 97 accord was a show car, which I came to realize it caused problems. Having to repaint the bodykit every year, tickets after tickets.

well, with "blue bulbs" you're ILLEGAL... with HID's you're LEGAL... Also, HID's (if bought new) will probably out-last the car... with blue bulbs, you're gonna have to replace them like once a year, if not more often.

Get some HID's and avoid the headaches of the cheapo bulbs... plus keep your car from looking gay.
