Go to www.speedlights.com for xenons and I bought my clears from www.procarparts.com
Be careful with the turn signal bulbs. My 98 CL has the push-in kind, however the manual shows a bulb with a metal base. If you want I can try and see what the actual bulb numbers are.

different brands different looks. I had the piaa super whites and now I have the hiper lights. Both look a lot brighter than stock, but the hipers give a bluish look.

I got my clear lenses and bulbs from www.AutoDynamic.com . Like phinthesky said, the turn signals are the push in kind, and AutoDynamic was one of the only places I could find that had those bulbs. I got my PIAA Hyperwhite bulbs from www.nextcollection.com ......

Question : Which lightbulb is better?
HIPER WHITE/BLUE BULB -HIGH WATT or
PIAA Super Plasma 9006 Headlight?

It seems like Hiper-High watt has a higher watt output 130W....but PIAA said it's lightbulb has something call XTRA and Superwhite technology.....which one will
produce the closest Xenon light look ?

thankyou very much!!

like he said, either will look cool. You could always get the full HID conversion for like $900 (pair or singal bulb i dont know?). And yes, I believe that is the cost for the low beams, and then the $900 over again for the high beams. That would probably look the best. hehe. I want them.

Anyway, what part of PA are you in? I am up near Wilkes-Barre.

Let me explain myself...When I said that the hiper's were better, I meant that I preferred their color compared to the PIAA's. For quality and brightness, I would go with PIAAs for sure!

The real HID kits will go for around 450 if you want DIY kits. Not that bad...its probably not the best kit, but it comes with phillips ballast controllers just like the expensive ones. I will try to find a link

I've had several different bulbs. But now I have the Hiper Industries ones. Not bad for $15. I personally think the PIAA's suck. U can get the same look from a $15 Phillips bulb from Walmart. I like my bulish light... however you can't see shit at night and abs nothing in the rain.

-Mod list too long to load
-If you ask me if I have that mod... my reply would be probably yes.
-Have any questions about the car... I'll try to help.
-Is my car fast? ... comon be real, even with a Prelude motor it still wouldn't be.

Actually I still see a lot more at night with the hiper's in rather then the stock bulbs. In rain it's the same, but when the fog comes down...I can't see anything. Then again, I heard that the HIDs are crap in the fog because it reflects too much??
