High beam bulbs...

I have looked but can't find, What are the stock 06 TSX high beam bulbs? Are they 9005 or something else?

thanks!

Yes, H1s. I got some Sylvania Silver Stars. They match the HID color better, but don't seem much brighter than stock. Really wish it was brighter. I drove a new Mustang for a few days and it's brights where much better.

The reason why I ask...
I have the 9006 verson of these in my ITR and absolutely love them, they are intensely bright and have the ablitly to light the road just right. And they have lasted 9 months so far.

I'm hoping to put them in the TSX shortly after picking it up. Having those lights is like an addiction.

here is the link that I bought from. http://216.82.69.117/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=H1-HG

Go with the Philips Vision+ I've got them on my bike and they're hella bright with longer range. I'm ordering a pair right now from www.autolamps-online.com free shipping too!

They're outta the UK but gave us a great deal on our groupbuy from r6messagenet.com

All that's left is to find some better bulbs for the fogs, although I may not wanna touch those.

If you must, I agree with helraiser. The Phillips Vision Plus bulbs are pretty much the best halogen bulbs on the market in terms of light output. (not for the faux xenon look however)

For the best fake xenon HID look, the Sylvania silverstar bulbs are the best, but they wont help you see any better at all.

Replacing your hi-beam bulbs is kind of a waste of money in my opinion, considering how often you use them.

In Canada we have DRL (Daytime Running Light). If I replace my stock high-beam with these Sylvania Silver Stars bulbs, how would the high-beam look like when DRL is active? Do they look "white" or "yellow"?

I guess you live in a larger city and don't travel much. I travel the country from NYC to ATL to Omaha, NE. and then to other places around the country So when I'm in the middle of nowhere I need those lights.

reason for the travel, I do HPDEvents all over the place

I dunno about the SSS bulbs but chances are they'll look dull. The DRL doesn't completely light the filament fully so it would still be kinda dull. It won't be completely yellow but as it doesn't reach the full K rating it wont' be completely bright either.

Edit: I had the PIAAs in my older car and I really never noticed the difference in the daytime as I hardly ever looked at 'em. Only difference came at night.
