Default super white bulbs

i am interested in purchasing a pair of super white bulbs for my low beams. i've heard alot about bulbs and some that burn out faster and burn harnesses, etc. i'm interested in buying a set that's going to last me and money is not an issue (no i'm not doing HID conversion :-). please give me a list of websites that I can visit and use to purchase a set of these for my 2000 Accord V6 EX. Thanks guys!

"search 9005 conversion" in google. i fit a pair of high beam bulbs into my low beam sockets and got great results. i used sylvania silver star bulbs and got a really pure white out of them for half the cost of PIAA's.




then i did the HID kit ... and those make any bulb look like poo

hehe.... ballasts for halogen bulbs for only $100 less than real hids. what a waste of money

ALL "superwhite" bulbs are strictly just for looks (just making sure u kno). they ALL have reduced ouput, when compared to oem bulbs, b/c of the colored coating on them.

i like the look of them, so i just went with a pair of high watt hyper industries. the streets are pretty well lit where i live. but if im out carving some back roads at night, i just flick on my highbeams

Default Don't waste money on hyper/super whites

Trust me on this. I've tried PIAA, Razo, Hiper, Eurolite, etc. They may look nice but if you think about it... how long will they last? I FINALLY switched to HID because I got a good deal on it and even if those phony bulbs may "look" HID, the output is no where near the real thing. Let's look at it this way: hyperwhites last about a year(give or take) and you may spend up to $75 on PIAAs. That's $375 for five years. I spent $395 on HID and should last me the life of my car... think about it.

HIDs: superior light output, nice color, bragging rights

P.S.- you said money wasn't an issue

you haven't looked hard enuf.

I got my HID's for $350 philips ballast/osram bulbs. ( ithink phillips bulbs look better btw...more white)

Search ebay. or if you want a warranty go to www.hids4less.com all the Bimmer kids swear by that place and autolampsonline.com ( i think) you'll pay closer to $500, but you will never change them again or think about regular bulbs again. If you wanna really splurge do a search for a guy named see-fu. he is god.

please do things right the first time and you won't regret it.
