What are the bluest "Simulated" HID H4 Bulbs?

Which brand is the bluest? I've seen some that are pretty blue and some that just look white. Which ones do you use/prefer?

many ppl say the silverstars suck. prolly cuz it resembles much like stock. not so, that is the bang for ur buck~! its brighter than stock, and IMO whiter than stock.

nokya arctic white is the bluest, i use some no-name brand i got for $9 and they work just fine. i took out my nokyas b/c after about 8 months they started to warp. the ones i have now aren't nearly as blue as the nokyas, but they're brighter. just stay away from PIAA and eurolite and you should be fine

What started to warp? The bulb itself?

i have the PIAA Super Plasma H3 bulbs, and honestly, i had my car parked beside my friend S2000 the other day, and i really couldnt tell the difference in color, of course the S2000 put out way more light. The bulbs i have arent good if you want a lot of light, its more for color.

CUZO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep telling everyone this. These are by far the best lights I have ever seen or driven with the exception of HIDs. They look just like the new M3's HID kit and they are bright as hell. I just bought Silverstars and they are terrible!!! They are a little more white than stock but they don't light up crap! I'm switching back to my Cuzos when I have a day off. Cuzsos also light up the road when it's raining better then anything I've ever tried too. GET CUZO!!!! You will not be disappointed.

Out of curiosity, what other brands have you tried to compare with Cuzos Elite? I've tried Nokya, which is sorta blue, but I want it to be more blue. Has anyone here tried/seen Raybrig or Polarg headlight bulbs? I heard they are the top of the line when it comes to bulbs.

I've tried Eurolite and PIAA. A bunch of my friends have like CATZ, Polarg, and some others. I think my Cuzos are by far the brightest. I have compared with all of them side by side.

Useful info for those who dont know this.... The higher the frequency of the bulb, the more blue it become.

4700k will still be closer towards the white color range and

8000k will be well into the blue / uv purple range. (Also makes it MUCH easier for police to recognize from a farther distance and give them more time to prepare to pull you over)

If someone would link my pic please? (still have no clue how to show pics once they are attached)

i'm sorry but whoever said they couldnt tell the difference between a real HID and a "HID" bulb is blind. the way the HID shines is much different then just a bulb. when driving by, you can always tell who has HID and who has "HID" bulbs.

Where can I get information about these Cuzo lights? price, model number etc.
I want some lights that light up in the rain/dark better than stock, I dont care much for any blueish tints.
Are these a good candidate? or should I go with the silverstars?

Thanks

NOOOOOO don't go with Silverstars! My Cuzos are much brighter. Silverstars are garbage. Where are you from? I bought them at my local performance parts shop. They are only $30 too! On the cover of the lights is the front end of a yellow car. It also has a bunch of Chinese writing on the case. Just go into your local shop and tell them. I WANT CUZOS!

But the cuzo's are high wattage bulbs... Stay away from high wattage bulbs.

I've had the PIAA Super Plasmas, and Polarg VIP Style bulbs.

The Polarg's are the best looking ones I've bought. I would buy them again, but I'm just gonna save up for REAL HID

Well, after searching around for awhile, I decided to get the Raybrig Whitesonic bulbs. $70 shipped from www.import-store.com, which seems pretty good considering other places sell them for $90+. The bulb is rated at 135/120W for a stock 60/55W setup, and the color rating is 5,000K. I'll post on what they're like when I get them.

Hey bootleg, if they go too high of wattage, wouldnt you have the issue of them burning out a bit faster?

Does Kragen, or Autozone have Cuzo lights? What partnumber do I get?

I think your wiring harnesses will burnout if you use a bulb that's supposed to use 80 watts in our civics. The raybrig bulbs i bought are still made for the stock 55/60 watt. As for the bulb not lasting as long, I'm gonna have to find out. So far though, Raybrig seems to have many good reviews.
