Hey everyone - I'm new to all this so hopefully this is the right place to post...
I just got a (virtually new) Black 2008 Honda Civic EX and want to upgrade the headlights to something a little brighter and whiter/bluer. (hate the yellow stock bulbs!)
I'm on a pretty tight budget - HIDs or replacing the whole headlight assembly isn't really an option for me right now, so I've narrowed plain old bulb replacements down to a few and would like your opinion:
philips xp is the best option hands down. best bulb on the market both in terms of whiteness and brightness. i think your car takes 9006 which philips makes in xp version. search aidauto.com i think they carry it.

Thanks for the quick reply - the Philips XP look light great lights; do they have any blue tint to the light? Pure white? Whiteish/Yellowish still? To be honest I'm changing bulbs more for looks than vision (although obviously being able to see more is always better!)
philips xp is pure white, no yellow at all like the stock bulbs, and no ricey blue tint either. and the light output is the best you can get from a legal 55w bulb. ive tried a ton of different bulbs and the philips xp beats them all. they are a clear bulb with a thin blue ring at the top. so it will not look weird in the housing during the day (no blue reflections).

I thought those silverstar ultras were the best. Guess not, I may pick up a set of these next time a bulb goes out. Whats the difference between these and the Boosted Catz Rev?

um not even close lol. sylvania silverstar is garbage. the catz rev whites are a double coated bulb with light blue coating. they are not as bright as the XP, but it has a cool double color effect with white ground light and yellow cutoff tint light.
