I use APC H4 100/130w no problems 15$ autozone...I have used other lights and think these are the best for that amount of money. No damage to my lights and they look really good...

Hmm... 9003 = H4? Cool, I learn something new everyday...

I have Sylvania Silverstars and I'm satisfied with them. Haven't had any problems.

well silverstars are better than stock........but they just are brighter........not worth the 40 bucks...........if you are going to get new lights you want something that is going to look COOL along with being better. the HID look is the look you want and silverstars dont do it..........i'm tellin you KOBA baby........

Have any pics of your KOBA lights?

You're not gonna get HID look unless you actually get real HID's. I've seen some headlights that project a bluish white color, which looks cool... But I looked at the beam, and it doesn't seem to light up the road at all.

Yeah, Silverstars are barely brighter than stock...

*didnt read the whole forum cuz im lazy*

piaa h4's. i currently have extreme white which is....
Wattage 60/55w = 130/110w,
5000K Low Beam,
3800K High Beam

it works great and had em on my car for half year and no problem.

and if anyone has the 'h4 plasma' series on their car, interested in trading one bulb for one? seems odd but i'd like to have a brighter bulb on my right headlamp =D

thanks.
