I have a burnt out headlight and im gonna replace both bulbs so one issnt brighter than the other. From experience, what is the best bulb that you guys can reccommend me to get. i was thinking silverstars....any advice??

 

id stick with stock bulbs. if you want hid, go for the real set and not lookalikes.

 

from what i've 'seen' on here....the stock ones last much longer than the aftermarket ones. especially the fog light bulbs.

 

i think ill be going OEM then, how easy is it to install them myself?

 

shouldn't be too hard. do NOT touch the clear part of the bulb with your fingers. use a rag or wear gloves (thin ones). it's just a twist out, replace, then twist back in.

 

what he means is twist the plastic thingy to take out the socket..not twist out the bulb. the bulb you just pull straight out. i think the bulb in the passenger side is a bit hard to take out b/c the space is tight..? im not sure.

 

Dont go Piaa I have had bad experiences with those bulbs. Blow out in a very short time and kinda expensive. Go HID if you really want good lights otherwise just stay stock.

 

Hey, Where do you get HID Lights? how much are they? i have stock right now and i wanna get some good stuff. Blue or white light.

I got mine from this website and they look great with my black housing. I got it for a little over $300 shipped and they look great with my black housing. Don't buy silverstars, they still have a yellowish color and it burned out on my friend within 2 months.

 

true. the space is tight....so just take out the coolan resev. and you should have no problems

 

3.2 is a lot easier, the passenger side is open and the driver side just slide the coolant bottle and that block box up and you have access to the bulbs.

1. Remove the harness by pressing the clip and pulling away from the bulb
2. Remove the rubber boot
3. Unclip the little metal wire that holds the bolt in
4. Pull the bulb straight out

 

Personally I like the PIAA's but they do burn out quick. luckily the ones ive had have lasted, but i will not cry victory yet, as chances are after this post I will have to go buy another set...LOL

 

stick with the stockies. I put some PIAA's in freakin cost me 80 bucks, and they burned out in a few months. I dotn know of anywhere to get h3c other than the dealer for the fogs, and I just learned that H4 and 9003 are exactly the same bulb. So if you are in an autoparts store and see 9003 and no h4's just know they are the same. I posted instructions on how to change the bulbs too. There are pictures and everything, buy LDH pretty much spelled it out, not too hard at all.

 

i wish i saw those instructions the first time i changed the bulbs, all that anger and frustration from wondering why the bulb wont turn and come out. Then i realized after accidently knocking off the rubber by pulling too hard that theres a clip.

In my friends 02 si he couldnt figure it out and unscrewed the clip and couldnt get it back in so don't unscrew it.

Our Fog lights are called H3 right? if so, Have you guys replaced your fogs too? what would ya'll recommend for fog lights? hit me back.

 

Our fogs are H3C and I bought mine from the acura dealership. There are bluish bulbs online. I believe a member posted a link to a site with blue H3C bulbs (i forgot the brand) and they were $30.

 

If you get the Blue H3C bulbs, do you have to get a new fog cover plate since it's yellow? what can you tell me about that? cuz i don't want the yellow light coming out anymore. Thanks.

What brand and what type ('plasma', 'super white', etc.) is better cuz i just want white or light blue coming out. help me out. sorry about all the newb questions. it'll at least spark some conversation around here.

 

My friend got the PIAA Extreme white...bright as hell, but I'm sure it won't last more than a year. I used to have piaa super white and it didn't last me a year, so i bought hid instead.

 

Just had one of my PIAA fogs go out yesterday after about a year and a half ( longest one has ever lasted for me)

 

i ended up getting the OEM bulbs for 17.55 each at inskip. if i want super bright/white lights ill save and buy HID rather then buying corny fake ones that last a few months. thanks for the help guys
