Looking for the best halogen bulbs out there that output the brightest for my DRL/High Beam and Fog lights.

I currently have Eurolite high beams and they're useless. I also have the eurolite yellow fogs and they do work well but I know there's stuff better out there. Trying to avoid any HID setup.

So looking for the best bright white for DRL/High and best yellow for fogs. What do you guys suggest? I've heard of Nokya (had them on my previous vehicle) but found they gave out every year to year and a half.

I had Nokya endurance H11 bulbs, they're alright, why do you want to avoid HID's?

Because of the way Halogens are made with a filament, thats as bright as they are going to get

to clarify; the shape of the filament dictates the how bright and how long the bulb last.

so, if filament is shaped for brightness, it will get hot and burn out quicker.

if it's shaped for longevity, it wont be that bright.

I'm just worried the lens will burn, but if I can get the yellow effect with an HID setup then I might go that route. It's just more of an expensive way to do it since a good branded HID system is roughly $150. I wouldn't cheap out on a DDMTuning setup.

^when you mod a vehicle, you're ALWAYS going to compromise the OEM equipment in some way.
ONLY you as the driver/modifier will need to make a judgement call based on strain on equipment, safety to self and others, budget, etc.

From my understanding, the stock bulb is 35w meaning that the housing and lens should withstand a 35w HID bulb as well since heat production should be similar. Can anyone confirm this?

you cant compare the two because they're different.
one will get hotter than the other.

Yeah I'm just trying to figure out which one gets hotter and at what temperature. I believe Osram Xenon bulb base gets to 240C and the bulb glass goes up to 740C. Not sure if this is lower than a halogen bulb. Apparently the filament of a halogen bulb gets hotter than the arc of an HID bulb does.

luminics bulbs work really well. had their jdm yellow as drl/high on my rsx loved it.. now i have their 4500 drl/high and its much cleaner then the dull stock bulb.
