Has anybody replaced their hibeam HB3 bulbs, and if so, with what? PIAA shows two options, the Xtremem White Plus and the Platinum Super White. Want something that more closely matches the HIDs' (the stock hibeams suck), and assume that the Platinums are the answer, but curious what others have tried and are happy with. Tried looking for an answer via the 'search' feature, but don't want to wade thru 2275 some odd threads. Appreciate your opinions.

 

You need 9005 type bulb.... check what I have here (pics) http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...highlight=9005

 

I have the Piaa Platinum...if you want pics...email me...rbui@sjsu.edu. Gawd it sucks to have your websever down .

 

Thanks ... I knew it was the 9005, just was questioning the two variants that PIAA lists. LiteLife/LifeForm 9005? Who makes this bulb (and which is the correct listing, cuz u seem to use both terms interchangably in your thread)? I guess you must'va re-wired your 'road' lights (calling them fog's seems inappropriate from what everybody has complained about) since most areas don't allow for fog's to be running while hi's are on. Hi's do look much better than the yellow stockers.

 

It is liteform Z.... pcis are here: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=88536

I got from massivemotorsports.... This is a brand new bulb that they are selling much better than teh Vision bulbs they sell..

BTW, I have road lamps with 18Watts bulbs...they aren't fog ligths.

 

I have the Hyper Industries Super Plazma. They match the HID's almost perfectly. Ordered from Auto Direct on line.

 

Do a search for one of Scooter's post...he has some high beams that match very close to the stock HID.

 

Here ya go...



You can also look at it closer here...

 

I have Catz 4500 Halogen bulbs..they are awesome..they change color by the angle you look at them like projector hids..from the side they are purple ..but head on they look exactly the same color..no rainbow effect either...Catz are expensive thouhg..mine were 70 bux..but they are true 80watts.

 

 

You paid $16.99 for the 2 bulbs???

get the sylvania silverstars. i have them and i like them alot.

 

$40 shipped from Autodynamic.com...they were supposed to b OptiBlues, but i got these instead...good thing too b/c they look bluer in the housing and brighter when on

Optiblue...



Hyper Industries...

 

I have the Platinum Super White's. These are the street legal DOT approved bulbs. I think the others are not.

 

I have Solaris 9005 but they are too danged expensive. I paid about $80 3 years ago.

 

Tks for the responses - unfortunately time was an issue as I was heading out of town for the holidays so didn't get to properly send along tks earlier. Ended up getting the Silverstars becuz they were locally available and on sale, but am not all that much impressed with them. Looked at the Autodynamic website that Scooter mentioned but they don't list the Hyper Industries products, although they do appear to look the best based on the photo's provided, along with those that edgalang posted. Only question I would have is whether those are DOT/SAE legal, since I do run across state lines each/every day and am very visible to the local defenders of the speed limits on the Interstate.
