I just got the Xenon CyberWhite headlights from walmart today. I got it for 16.88 + tax. I installed it in like 5 minutes. The when I turn it on hoping for a really white shine, it turns out to be yellow exactly like the stock ones. The bulbs were 9006 55w Xenon bulbs. What is the proper wattage for our cars and can anyone reccommend a bulb with a silver star white.
Is it my lens or is it the bulb? I was surprised my original bulbs were sylvania. |

J/K.QUOTE(yellowxboy @ Dec 28, 2004 - 12:05 AM) [snapback]227269[/snapback] i'm kinda confused.. which wattage is the best? QUOTE(shid @ Dec 28, 2004 - 8:34 AM) [snapback]227318[/snapback] There's no such thing as "which wattage is best" you can only get the wattage for our cars, and the bulbs meant for our cars. Shid's right. The right wattage for our cars is the one that our harness can handle. Can't remember the exact numbers. What I did was change my harnesses out for all 4 headlights(VERY easy). And now it can handle I-forgot-how-much but probably 2 or 3 times as much. That way your bulbs/harness don't burn out. I'm running Nokya somethings. They were god price, I think I got all 4 for like 25 bucks. And the 4 harnesses at Discount Auto Parts were like another 15. So not too bad. The lights looks awesome. White with a little little blue.SilverStars. QUOTE(elkinm @ Dec 2, 2005 - 6:59 PM) [snapback]362722[/snapback] I just bought some SilverStars at wall mart. I installed them but have not driven them. What scares me is that even the lightest blue tint kill my eyes even when it's from my own lights and when I am driving I don't have the option to look away. If I'm not mistaken, the blue coating on the bulb is needed to achieve the white look. Because in a normal clear bulb, it shows up yellow because that's the filament color. I don't know about those lights but most likely if the glass is clear, the light will be yellow.Anyway, Anybody try the Wagner BrightLight bulbs. They are advertised with the same 4000K color temperature but they have no blue coating on the glass. I want white light but no blue. Thanks Edit: Sorry for infighting this old thread. It was the closest to what I was searching for and I did not notice the dates and I did not want to start a new thread. -------------------- |
