i did a search and couldn't find what i was really looking for. so i need advice and suggestions from people who have replaced their high beams. i'm looking for high beam bulbs that will have that blue reflection in the housing when they are off but will not really sacrifice brightness when they are on. i've read that solaris have a tendency to burn out after a year. i feel the are kinda pricey too. any suggestions?

 

go buy the solaris high beams if you are going to actually use your highbeams and want a good match w/ you hid's. If you just looking for blue glow and don't use the highbeams like me go get the nokya's or any kind of cheap blue blub from any performance shop. vertex has the ones I use.

 

alright...these are what i got. 9006 should work on our high beams, right? i think i read somewhere that that's what we use.

Solaris 9005

 

Let me know if those work well, I would love to not have the yellow high beams!

 

called pohanka acura in va, spoke to parts. they said for high beams, 9006 it is. i will let you know how the lights turn out. see, i hardly use the high beams, but i would like to have the blue reflection. i think they look cool. i will let you know.

 

Are these bulbs hard to put in? I am prob gonna get some now.

 

doesn't seem to be! the process is pretty much described in the manual. and if you do a search on "high beams", there're some guys who explain it in detail. i think the toughest part is removing the reservoir behind the driver side lights...but that shouldn't be too difficult. also, per everyones warning, do not touch the bulbs themselves ( the glass part ).

 

thanks for the input, joe!!!

 

can somebody please fix the confusion.
is the HIGH beam bulb 9005 or 9006?
thanks

 

i thought the high beam was 9005....i'm gonna be pissed if it's not because I just took the 9006's back and exchanged them for the 9005's. btw, I'm using PIAA's.

 

call the dealership where u bought your care from! that's what i did and they told me 9006.

 

For 1st gen it's

LOW BEAM 9006
High BEAM 9005

I don't think the would have changed it, but I might be wrong.
Just look at old ones.
