Headlight Bulbs 03 Civic Coupe

I just bought silverstars for my new civic and they make a HUGE difference. Very WHITE as opposed to the yellow stock. My question is ......What other bulbs are people using and how do they compare.........I dont want to buy that PIAA crap that lasts 5-6 months.......none of those JAP ebay bulbs.....

I'm talking Sylvania, phillips, etc.........Good names


hit me up with any and all info

thanks boys

i bought a korean one that i had for amazingly 18 months. now i'm using MTEC (japanese) i got for 2.99 on ebay. they don't sell it like that anymore. kinda sucks. it's pretty good.

thought sylvanias sucked. haven't seen phillips H4s though.

unless you live in an area with retarded cops then no. I live in Atlanta, and i have never been pulled over, sometimes driving on the main road by my house around 2 am, i leave my brights on just for fun and cops will drive past me and just keep driving, and my headlights have that bluish tint

i got piaas h4 and i can say they are quite white and sometimes a little blue in them and during the day it looks blue cuz the bulb is all blue and it reflects inside of the headlight. i think they were liek 65 tho when i bought them. that was like 8 monthes ago and they are working great now, no problems. 8 months in counting knock on wood.

i got eurolite h4 and they are fine. haven't had a problem with them yet. this is my second pair. my last pair lasted me about 9 months. they are cheap enough that changing them don't blow a hole in the pocket.

i hear that a proper installtion to put ur bulbs in is to disconnect the battery first. is that true? i have a harness kit that's connected into my mtecs and i need to make some adjustments..
