Bulbs?

[Reflex1.8T]

Hey people,

What Head light bulbs are you guys using?

Didn't someone mention on the board that the cops gave them a ticket for having the blue lights? or something?

I currently have the blue $30 bulbs from C1,, they are not bad.. but don't last that long. I need to replace them because the HIgh Beams don't work.. I had one left ,, replaced the right side first,, cause it was the easiest. Now I need to buy another,, but are people being hassled now by the cops?

What are my options out there.. I heard the phillip bulbs are pretty good.. what others ?

Thanks in advance,....

Holksvagon :

Do you work there ? or ?

I carry some JDM light bulbs. They are new product from Japan. They perform way better than Eurolights or Silverstar( or PIAA top of the range Xtreme White products). Use only regular wattage(55W) and output 6000K.

See the difference yourself. I got some on hand if you like them. PM me for more info.

I found the eurolights/toucan ones didn't last long, I'm currently running the eurosluts in the red package, paid $20.

If the bulb itself is any color except white or yellow they can ticket you. It doesn't matter what color light it shines. It doesn't matter if it looks just like HID. Blue or purple glass in the bulb, ticket.

So if the bulb looks slightly tinged blue or purple, they can decide to give you a ticket. I have the C1 bulbs and they are tinged light blue. Theres not much you can do.

In my case they just pulled me over and then looked for something to ticket. If it hadn't been the bulb they would have looked for something else.

Just came back from Part Source,, They don't have the Silverstars,, on the Sylvania CoolBlue's ,, which I didn't want.

Alright,, is there any bulb out there that does not have a blue or light blue coating.. so I can't get a ticket..
And at the same time,, gives the brightest illumination.

Also called NW Acura ,, they don't carry them at all.???


?????

Silverstars are they blue? THe coolBlues were,, hence the name.. lol

Here are the sylvania info on the Jetta parts.

Bulb Selection

Question, : Its says on the 9007ST (Silverstars) that they are

Max. 60/70 Watts... ? this won't work will it?

CalgaryB5: message me if you have some of those bulbs.. how much and if they are coated blue or not?

Thanks

According to that page:

"Cool Blue Halogen Upgrade - White Hot; Super Cool; 100% Street Legal"

From what the cop told us, this doesn't seem true if the glass is blue. Maybe different in the US too.

If you DO find bulbs that aren't blue but have a real white light, I would like to come check them out some night! We could do a little comparrison.

i might buy some of the silverstars off ebay or online somewhere.. i phoned NW acura too.. probably 2 seconds after u did haha

[Reflex1.8T]

But i'm still waiting for CalgaryB5 to respond and see what he can do for price wise.


Under the Silverstar Specs.. it says this ::::::::

============================================
SilverStar headlights meet all US and Canadian requirements (FMVSS 108 and CMVSS 108), and standards for visibility, color, and safety.

The Piaa bulbs are really white. The glass is tinted but you can't see it when they are on. They actually do have a brighter footprint too but probaly the same size as factory. The only downfall is they are not cheap.
