I snatched these "xenon plasma" bulbs off http://autolumination.com/headlights.htm for just $4.99 a pop and didn't expect them to be all that great... but turned out pretty nice & white! Light output-wise, probably not as wide and bright as the stock high beams... but hey I ain't complaining! They look better than the yellowish-ness esp at night.

Thought I should tell you guys since they are so cheap

btw our car uses 9005 bulb for high beam

Here are some pics:

cheapo "xenon" high beam:

@cUr@-TL

man.. i love ur headlights (silver inside)


btw, i guess im gonna have to pick up a set of those bulbs... i got PIAA hyperwhite as high beams right now and they look pretty much like stock, just a lil' bit brighter/whiter but they dont match my 6000k at all, they didnt even come close to the stock HIDs...

subtledreamer

wow even the PIAA hyperwhites arent as white huh? i thought they would be pretty good

and thx for ur compliment justin

aaronnn

TranceFusion

looks nice with the new lights!

NYZGREATST

def looks nicee. i love that silver housing man.

brado

looks good when lit. for some reason though, i dont really like the way it looks in the day head on because the blue bulb makes the whole high beam housing blue and kinda looks cheap to me imo. i had some 'nokya' cheapos too before and they did that. maybe yours are better. looks nice though!

Yeah I agree.. if it didn't have that blue look during the day, I'd be all over those in a heart beat!!

subtledreamer

yeah u guys are right. i would like them even better if they arent blue when not lit.

thanks brotha!

ara606

I love these bulbs
Thanks for the post

REDLINEN

I just ordered a set. What a deal.

SilverIce2000

i think i need to do the same... one of my highbeams blew out... is it hard to replace or do i have to take the whole bumper off and unscrew hte housing and hten do it?

Just beware of melting wire harnesses with these cheapo bulbs. Usually these bulbs run at a higher wattage as well.

subtledreamer

thx for the warning... i've checked, these bulbs run 50 watts each so its just about same as stock.

all you have to do is twist-off the harness & bulb from the headlight housing, unplug teh stock one, and plug the new one in. really simple

bnwelch

Agree 100%...happened to me when I put them in my Legend...short life span as well, as compared to name brand. Both of my comments are with respect to the 9006's (low beams). My replacement high beams have held up very well with no problems.

jpadilla

nice silver housing, but the bulbs do look very cheap when turned off ... a very big turn off!

whatwasthat

wow, you got a clean headlight! i mean the plastic on it is clllleeeeeeeeeeeeean. mine has so many scratches and bugs..

-Rz-UA5

Wow thats pretty nice I must say.....NIcely done..

SaNJoSeTLRydEr

subtledreamer

thanks

haha thats one g00d thing for living in los angeles...

proud to report they havent blew on me yet. haha I turned them on every now and then cuz i love the aqua blueness

S power

It looks great but why high beam? Do you drive with your high beam on most of the time? I would put it on my fogs definitely because the stocks are yeaalow .

subtledreamer

I don't.... it's for cosmetics.

and becasue I don't have fogs...? only 02-03 TL's have fogs buddy

S power

lol,I never knew that , I probably never pay any attention to 99-01's.

PenancE

u dont have to get the blue shade over the bulbs, look at the link he posted.....geez

REDLINEN

Hey Guys, I got thesse bulbs they seemed great came quick in the mail and one blew even quicker. Well thats what you get for the price I guess. I emailed them back to see if they will give me some kind of break seeing they blew out in two days we will see what happends.

subtledreamer

damn that sucks. mine are still going strong. if any happens ill update you guys on this thread.

i ordered some neon blue and neon yellow, but the neon blues came in 9006 sent them back for an exchange. well, heres pix:

REDLINEN

Hey goodnews, They are going to warrantee the bulb and send me a new one minus the shipping and handeling charge. So I guess I would recomend them again. And real good customer service and speedy replies.

subtledreamer

nice! i may pick up a pair of those just for fun later

once you get the neon blues exchanged, mind posting a pic too?

A few months too late on your response there...you think?

JK...Sorry I couldn't resist.

I know, I was searching on how to replace the driver's side highbeam lamp and I ran into this thread, these bulbs look perfect for my replacement and they're also cheap so I might get them

subtledreamer

55 watt, I am 90% sure

VoLLy

iTrader: (8)

where'd the 10% go? lol!

Did you get the 55 watts? did they burn out as of yet?

subtledreamer

OK IM 100% SURE THEN

5 months and still going strong!
