Don't waste money on bulbs.

Save up and do retrofit, that's the way to go.

i hope he can still see with those in the weather that cali is going thru this season..

but most likely he has the mtec bulbs which are very blue that i see most trucks with. im sure the piaa super plasma gt-x is similar. like civicvtec1ps said, bulbs are a watse, their more for show imo.

www.ebay.com and search piaa h4 and check out www.piaa.com for their colored ratings and etc

it depends, when i was in the market for bulbs, i hear ppl who bought mtec? and other brands that had have problems with their bulbs burning out. so thats why i went with piaa. ive had 1 pair of piaa bulbs that costed me a little over$60 and lasted 1 year so far and no sign of color changing or burning out.
you can pay for some mtecs ($20?) every few months or go with a set of quality bulbs.


ph1, does that email thing really work? get paid too

i heard people have a hard time seeing with blue light, but i dont how many of them actually HAD blue bulbs before and how many were just repeating what someone else said. when i had my eurolights a long time ago they had a blue tint and i could see just fine. they lasted over a year too, not bad for like $25.

APC bulbs do the same job for $15...sure their other products might be suspect...but their bulbs are imo

mine lasted a long time until i did a retrofit..

When you drive for a long time the blue hue in the lights makes your eyes tired, which means your eyes can't focus and that leads to vision problems.

I don't understand the people who think that a tinted bulb actually puts out more light than stock.

When you tint your car windows do you do it so you can get more sunshine into the cabin?

there refering to 8000k hid, not cheap halogen bulbs, no matter what tint it has it wont look as blue as a 8000k retro fit hid
