Piaa or Raybrig. Don't waste your time and money on any other bulb unless its HID.

PIAA Definately!!

I know these are cheap and all.... But cheap isn't usually good quality. Smart companies charge for that shit. I've had both Piaa and Raybrig bulbs. The were both awesome. But PIAA has a better warranty and an easier claim system. They shipped me new bulbs overnight for free when mine went out. I also have a pair of PIAA 510 Superwhite Driving Lights on the Civic. I shattered the lenses and bulbs when I drove it through a deep puddle with them on. They sent the replacement parts with a quickness. Awesome customer service. Great bulbs. Stay away from the cheap stuff as much as your wallet will allow.

100w = ~9 amp draw

60w stock= ~5 amp draw

It'll prob blow a fuse - and if it does, that means it will damage the stock wires.

No, b/c the fuse is designed to protect the wiring. By swapping the fuse, it will allow the wires to be damaged by overcurrent.

hahaha wow...i used to be like u all....i'd just go to the local "import store" ("KC Trends") and buy a set of "blue dipped" bulbs just so my headlights would look blue and cool...well, everyone told me i should spend the $300+ on HIDs but i figured, i didnt want to spend $300+ on headlights so i kept buying and buying these "blue headlights". These things were like $30 for a pair...well, after buying a new pair every month, then i tired the 9005/9006 conversion....wasited a bunch of bulbs there...and NOW I FINALLY WENT HID!

let me just give u some advice...before, i thought spending $300+ on a HID kit was a total waist of money..."i just wanted the cool blue looking headlights (although the output of light was more shitty than the OEMS) ....Everyone do yourself the favor and go get HID...If it means saving your money, forget about buying the "blue bulbs" be a man, throw back in your OEM "yellows" and save for a HID!

Heres somethin to think about....All the $$ that i spent waisting on theose "blue bulbs that last maybe a month...(sometimes a little more) I could of probably bought 2 HID kits! SAVE THE $$ IN THE LONG RUN AND GO FOR HID!!

PS: for theose of you who dont know anything about HIDS...dont just go buy anything...do some research or feel free to PM me first...you could end up gettting a SHITTY kit too....Make sure you know what your buying first. (feel free to PM me with questions)

Oh yea, and you dont have to do the $1,200 conversions liek VXCL is doing...u can do a plug n' play application like i did...i payed $330 for EVERYTHING!
