highbeams?
dont think this should go in this forum but ill give it a shot anyways...
i was lookin to get some kind of aftermarket 9005 bulbs for the high beams on my cl. I guess i dont really need it since i dont really use the highbeams that ofter but it would be nice to have. the thing i was wondering was if there were any bulbs that dont have the blue bulb but at the same time doesnt have the halogen yellowish light look to it. i kind of think its a little tacky when i can look into a headlight housing and see a blue reflection...but thats just me being picky and anal

yeah, just get the bulbs without the blue tint on them. i think silverstar ultra's don't have it. honestly it's not worth it to waste your money if you don't use them. i bought HIR bulbs which are slightly whiter than halogen (3600K) but cost me an arm and leg ($31/bulb). they do output near HID levels, though.

I was going to get these, they look like they have a blue tint though:

And regarding the silverstars (your best bet IMO), they are a good deal more white than normal halogen bulbs but their light output is only marginally better. They run hot and don't last nearly as long as regular bulbs but if you don't use them much, it shouldn't be much of a concern.

nice. i just checked online for some piaas but they are pretty expensive for something im going to use like once a month...but then again i have spent more money on less practical stuff before
the piaas are pretty much what im lookin for. they have a new bulb that has some kind of mirror coating on it so when you look into the housing you dont see a reflection
how long do piaas normally last?
you know the leds sound pretty damn interesting though

dont be mad
i know this might sound WILD stupid but are the highbeam bulbs the same ones that are on while your lights arent on? and just at a lower voltage or something?
