21176, best bang for your buck - headlight bulbs.
Posted by trickedeclipse, Apr-30-02 12:06 PM
which brand would you guy recommend for super white bulbs? or should i go with the real piaa's? i need 4 size H3 bulbs, because i have projectors, and 8" driving lights.

marcus, can you cut me a deal on a bright set of bulbs? i know that no mater how you do it, H3 will never be very bright for a projector, but these stock bulbs SUCK..

Hey I have the Hiper bulbs high wattage for H3 size (25 shipped), but I really wouldn't recommend it for your projectors. They just don't work right with projectors. Maybe someone has a deal on PIAAs or something. Or maybe I am just too picky. With projectors, the bluish bulbs seem to come out more yellow for some reason. I don't know what else to tell ya, I'd rather not sell you something that I think doesn't work well with projectors. I would only get a bulb that you physically see yourself in person, and like how it looks with the projectors. Maybe I'm just too picky.

I have Clear/Chrome Projector Lights with PIAA Super Plasma H3 Bulbs for the Low Beams ($39.95 on Ebay) and PIAA Super Plasma H1 Bulbs for the High Beams ($42.00 on Ebay). They are Awesome. Spend the extra Money cuz it looks Awesome at Night and during the Day. Very Bright. Make sure you get the Plasma Blue. It's rated at 5000K.

There H3 Bulbs. I got the PIAA Super Plasma H3 Bulbs. Check Ebay fo them. If you can get it for under $50.00 then that's an OK Price. I got lucky when I got mine for $39.95 - Auction ended at 2:32am on a Sunday Morning.(Nobody was up to bid on them)

The High Beams uses H1 bulbs. (I got PIAA Super Plasma H1 Bulbs).

The Parking Lights uses 1157 Dual Filament Bulbs ( I got PIAA Xtreme White 1157 Bulbs).

The Bumper Lights uses 168 Wedge Bulbs (I got PIAA Plasma Blue 168 Bulbs).

Hope that helps,

and the OEM fog lights I have PIAA Super White H3 Bulbs.
