Okay so i just spent the last hour reading all the forums about h1 h11 and ds22 bulbs.

I'm not going to upgrade the hids, but I do want to know if there are brighter highbeam bulbs.

I'm not so sure where i should be looking at becasue people are saying silvania silver stars suck some say its good.

Phllips blue vision i head good and bad.

Hoens are pricey?

Can you guys help me out
rough idea on price
and where to get them

pictures will help too.

I'm just seeing if there are brighter high beam bulbs becasue my high beams seem a bit weak. Then again when i drive at night up to buffalo theres nothing out on the road so maybe i'm just thinking their weak.

sylvanias are quite bright.. look at this comparison http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...Comparison.htm

Import in Osram +50% or Narva +50% bulbs from Europe. US sylvanias die too quickly.

TSX7

I have Sylvania silverstars on mine. I had them for 2 years and they're still working. They're always on (although not at full power) since they're used as DRLs.

driver centric

Agreed. I had Osram Silverstars in my previous (halogen-equipped) car and they were definitely brighter than the stock bulbs.

aaronng

When used as DRLs, the amount of current flowing through is less. The downside of the osram/sylvania silverstars +50% and Narva +50% is that they burn hotter than stock eventhough they are rated for 55W. They do so by using a thinner filament and a different mixture of gas. If you run them with a lower current, then they don't burn as hot and the bulb's lifespan increases.

TSX7

Yes I am aware of the fact that drls draw only 30-40% of current compaired to when fully lit. I do quite a bit of night driving and use high beams quite a bit and on top of that they're used as drls. I noticed for some reason H1 bulbs last a lot longer than other silverstars eg. 9003.

Not Specified

Anyone have pics of the phillips bluevision on their TSX?

tg8arc

Yes on both counts.

I replaced the High Beams on my 06 tsx with the phillips bluevision. These are not avalible here in the states; i bought them off ebay and had to wait a couple of weeks while they came from the UK. I also used Hoen Xenomatch for the fogs as I couldn't find them in Phillips blue vision. Here are some pics:

I also replaced the low beams, high beams and fog lights on an MX-5 with Hoen Xeonmatch & Xenomatch Plus lights. In my opinon, they look good. The color is very nice and white, unlike the standard halogen. I don't have any pics yet for this bulb swap, but will try to get them up soon.
