Where do you get HIDs for $30?

I rarely ever drive my car at night, so I've never noticed.

You get what you pay for...


Just to give you an idea these are 8000k. I want 12's though.

The last picture was on the strip in Panama City, it should give you an idea of how they look on the road.

They really set any car off.

I ended up getting the Sylvania SS bulbs. A lot brighter.

I used to have the sylvania (cool blue is what the package said) on my old camry and after a few months(about 7-9) they started to lose their white and develop a dimmer yellowish color before they died out. May have been normal wear or bad bulbs but that was my experience. I was happy with them for the 7 months they did last though! Fairly good light output.

Yes, the SSs are great. I used to run them on my Taurus. I will replace my stock bulbs with SSs when necessary. Personally, I think the stock lights are fantastic when used with the fogs...

Ditto to what's been said earlier in this thread. The stockers suck, unless you enjoy the ****-yellow flavor of poor visibility.

I bought myself a set of Luminics H13s (or H11s, I can't remember off the top of my head) but ended up with HIDs instead.

If you think the halogen stockers are yellow and sucky, try driving a 1960's or 1970's car with sealed bulb tungsten headlights. Halogens are a huge step up.

FYI, here's a good page for everything you wanted to know (and a bunch you didn't) on automotive bulbs: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...lbs/bulbs.html
