bulbs for JDM headlights? - Honda Prelude Forum

railsldr · 05-31-2004, 12:24 PM

I just installed some JDM's last week and am looking to get some bulbs to give em a nice touch. I cant afford to try and make them HID right now so I was thinking of getting some bulbs that give the HID look. Just looking for suggestions as to what company is good

Sylvania Silverstars are nice and they put out alot more light than oem.

PIAAs are probably the brighest bulbs that you can safely put in, but they're expensive, so, yeah, I'd say go for the silverstars. I have the H4s and H1s, and they're nice and bright.

Look into Hoen bulbs. I ordered the Xenonmatch series and are the best bulb for the money hands down.

where'd you get those from, and what's the wattage on the H4s and H1s?

Well unfortionately, I was looking over the Hoen website and I dont think they make H4's and H1's but have just about everything else. I can vouch for the 9005 and 9006 bulbs blow Silverstars away. These are installed in BMW foglights to imitate HID's. And they come pretty close. They match my PIIA plasma's in my fogs pretty well and mutch better than the Silverstars did. Check it out at there website.

I've got some PIAA platinum 9005's that are modded so they'll fit a 9006 socket... I had these for my low beams a few months before I got my jdms.. piaa rule..

make me an offer if your interested, im not actively sellin em ...

but yea, PIAA Just came out with the H1's I think this year.. I'm going to try to get a set from a dealer I know (Dads friend) I got some H4's for free (high beam) .. wonder if I can mod them in the low socket ...

MTECs are pretty good... my friend has 'em on his civic.. and they're nice....

vile10 · 06-04-2004, 02:24 AM

it depends on which Mtec, the regular Mtec i had died on me in less than 9 months

i am trying out Mtec 4x right now, the brightness and color is right for me, but i am still waiting to see how long it'll last
