Default Re: A little more progress

So things are going bad on my car one after another. First my O2 sensor, then paint scuff and now my driver side low beam...

Do white bulbs look good with our cars?
H.I.D would be awesome but that is to expensive.
What bulbs would you suggest? (need to light up road good, but look nice too)
I would guess the best upgrade for the bulbs would be silverstar?

What bulb type is it? (like: H1, H3)

Sorry I have so many questions.
Thanks

Yes, white is nice!
It's ALWAYS nice over the yellowish stocks
PIAA's are nice, but WAYYYY too expensive. Silver stars are a good alternative.

To figure out bulbs, use this:

So our lows are 9006 and our highs are 9005 on PIAA's website (Don't know how to spell tiburon)

And on Silverstars Lows are H7ST and Highs are H1ST.

PIAA plasma bulbs are the shizzle dizzle!
They are pretty expensive but if you call around you can get em for around 50 bucks for the pair.
I can see soooo much better with these lights and get a butload of compliments on them its worth the cash, to me anyway.

Vulcan, what year is your Tiburon?

the 2nd gens have H7 as low beam. PIAA does not distribute H7 bulbs in the U.S.
Sylvania Silverstars are slightly expensive but VERY bright and very nice. I love mine. I have STOCK in one, Silverstar in the other... and on the way to the car show, someone came on the 2-way and said, "majik, you're headlight's burned out... wait, nevermind, it's just real dim"
notice that was the stock bulb, not silverstar wink.gif
