Guest Anonymous Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 How much are you willing to spend? PIAA makes some really nice bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93 Grand Prix Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 not really caring for pricing, just brighter bullbs, but someone told me that piaa are not all that they are to up be. Have anyone ever heard of farenheit bulbs? They claim to be brighter than PIAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Most bulbs you look at that claim to be brighter are a higher wattage and could cause damage to wiring. I'm not saying they will but it's a possibility. Alot of them seem to burn out quicker than normal. I know a guywho has had the same set of PIAA's in his car for 2 years. They are only 51 watts which is actually lower than a stock bulb. But they have a higher output. The only thing I don't like is the $70.00 price tag.

paulo57509 Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 This guy has been mentioned in automotive newspaper columns when the subject about lighting comes up. Lots of info (who really knows if it's valid info or not). He does sell, so keep that in mind. I've also seen him around on some of the automotive newsgroups. http://lighting.mbz.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when he was small-time I asked him a few lighting-related questions and he was condescending, rude, and insulting. I can only imagine how horrible his personality must be now that his name has been in newspaper columns and he actually has his own business.

He's still comes across like that. Having "....mbz.org" in the URL might have something to do with it. He might not have any patience for Chevy and asian import people. :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 I have Matrixx Brand bulbs in my car. "Ultra white" are 100w High 80w Low. I got them from summit racing for $20 a pair. I would first try a pair of "Sylvania Silver Star" lights. i am switching to them, mine now are kinda shitty when its wet out. Eather that or go flat out for the best HID! $300 is a bit pricy.

crc Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 One funny thing I'm noticing on the roads is people putting in expensive high-wattage bulbs but not cleaning up or replacing their headlight housings. If you look at the lights of newer cars, even those with plain old orangish halogens, the beams are very bright because the lens housings are super clean (and obviously of better design than one's in older cars like ours) My personal favourite is the projector headlights (you can see them on 1995+ Acura Integra's) and when combined with HID (like BMW X5).. wow.. mucho $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He replied saying I could buy E-code sealed beams (he thought I had a G-body), so I told him mine is an FWD newer Cutlass Supreme with the composite headlamps. He then replied saying he knew of no E-code headlamps for Cutlass Supremes with composite headlights, and went on to tell me that the Cutlass Supreme is a cheap, worthless car anyway, and if I want decent lighting to dump the car and get something better for which E-code headlamps are available. All that coming from a guy that drives an ugly-ass Plymouth Acclaim (or something like that). At least he did at the time. For a long time, I hoped that prick's business would fail, but I guess good things always happen to bad people, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1trucavalier Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 hands down the sylvania silverstar(<----whatever its called) is the brightest, street legal bulb I have seen. Its was also highly recommended on 2-guys garage. Not saying they are God but they do no good parts because they work with them ever day. I saw them on my buddies concorde and they are wayyy brighter and clearer than my intrepids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
