Wink what are the best headlight bulbs to buy for our cars?

i believe most of you will say piaa and they are probably the most expensive
and the best. but what type should i get? i don't want blue lights, i want it more white and
definitely better than the stock bulbs. i was thinking of getting the super plasma piaa bulbs, what do you guys think?

in my case....

Warranty: if bulb is damaged or goes out within the allotted time, a brand new replacement is provided directly at the store.

MTEC: 6 months warranty. Look awesome. Hyper white with a touch of icey blue in it. I have these in my car.

Euro R: 12 months warranty. I hear are also as good as MTEC, but are a bit bluer.

PIAA: Lifetime warranty THROUGH PIAA. So if ur bulb went out, u can get a replacement free but only through PIAA, which who knows how long that'd take to get the bulbs in the mail.

in ur case, i say go with MTEC. Problem free. Look the best IMO. and are relatively cheap if u look into the right places. PIAA's, i've heard of way too many problems from them. Take forever to get replacements if necessary, and are a lot more expensive.

oh and by the way, i really wanted to just say "SEARCH", but ah, i'm tired of ppl saying that all the time to ppl. even tho it's really true. haha.

Later Days

If you're going to spend $100 on PIAA bulbs you might as well save up for a real HID kit. Real HID is the best for visibility, and coming in second is the stock bulbs.

If you want "hyper whites" I haven't heard anything bad about MTEC. Just make sure you get the 2x not the 4x or you will have problems.

I agree, definately get the HID conversion if you are thinking about spending 100 on just bulbs. I heard MTEC are really nice and if I could read my packaging for the ones I have (its japaneese) I would tell you to get those cause they are awesome....HID conversion kit

if u want really good bulbs get the Sylvania Silverstars. they are bright as hell and they are pure white, not blueish or yellowish. they have a very very very light tint of blue which is sweet. they are TRUELY much brighter than stocks. they really light up the street signs really good at night. they are also 100% street legal. i think its $40 a pair. i would post pictures up but im too lazy to take pictures.heh
