102476, headlight and bulbs question Posted by chris712vt, Dec-12-06 06:08 PM
Alright guys, in a couple weeks i'm ordering my new 2Gb eclipse front bumper, and OEM 2Gb headlights... and I'll need some bulbs. BTW, I think this question better fits under general that interior/exterior, that's why it's here.
disclaimer: I do not want to put projectors on my car, I think some of them look good, but I'd just rather have the clean look and I love 2Gb OEM lights. And secondly, I am NOT asking how to get the "blue" colored headlights or any crap like that. I want better light output, not a cool color.
details: I plan to go HID in the future, but I don't have the money to waste on them any time soon so I'd just like to get nice bulbs for now. (yes, I want to have HID OEM lights, rare huh?) I just did a quick search on ebay for some bulbs and I'm looking at a set of 9005s and 9006s. The ad claims they are "hyper-whites" with no blueish hue, 4300k xenon, 100w output.
question: Is this set of bulbs a good choice for me to get keeping in mind what I said above. I want bright lights without going HID, and I'd rather them not be bright blue. They're 17 bucks or so shipped.
Thanks, Chris
Here's what my front end conversion will look like by the time I'm done with it, possibly without the cf lip, but definately with the fmic... in time :D

I did the silverstar bulbs, they work awsome. I also did the high beam conversion. HUGE difference.
