I tried doing a search but I really wanted to know what people in the GTA were using for H1 bulbs in there projectors. One of mine is blown and I need to replace them. What is the best to get? I want something that gives off a lot of light and will actually last more than 3 months.....any suggestions, and where did you get them from?

Thanks

Silverstars are awesome...very bright look....but they will burn out quick...not too quick...but theyll go out sooner...or you can get xenon's.....pretty bright too

If you buy the Silverstars from Canadian Tire you'll get a 1year of-the-counter warranty with them. So if does burn you...you get a brand new one!!! =) Thats why I got mine from there.

I'm using some crazy yellow bulbs right now (Xenon something-or-other); they can be found at Proparts or at Pacific Mall. They've got a sexy purple halo to them which is subtle, yet illegal, LOL.
As well, I used to use the Showoff Kryptons before - those were pimpariffic, nice and white with just a tiny touch of blue on the edges, and one set lasted me over a year. When I changed to the yellows the Showoffs were still in perfect condition.

I had H4 of both, but I have seen the H1 versions of each in action.

Honestly...no H1 bulbs are good unless you get real HIDs.
The H1 bulbs are the most poorly designed bulbs.

Yeah I agree, they suck pretty bad. Thats usually why I always switch back to OEM Headlights with Silverstar H4's for the late fall and winter cause its always dark outside. At least in the spring & summer there is more daylight and I hardly drive really late anyway. I didnt know that Canadian Tire had Silverstars in an H1. I will have to check that out. HID's would be sweet but too much $$$

I heard mtec's were dimmer compared to SilverStars, and just more blue tint? On the other had, I've heard that SilverStars are only a brighter light than stock, and don't have as "cool" an effect as mtec's. *shrugs*

FAWK! I just went to Canadian Tire to pick up the Silverstar H1 and there wasnt any. I even called the store earlier so that I would know if I should even bother going over on my lunch and the stupid bitch told me that they had them in stock. I wish she wasnt on her break when I got there cause I wanted to rip into her. ARGGG! What a waste of time. I ended up getting some shitty Motomaster H1 bulb just so that Im not driving around blind tonight. I installed it and still no difference. I think that the wiring is screwed or something? Ive tried a couple of my older working bulbs those dont work either. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Its weird the lights work fine for the first 2 settings on the dial but as soon as I go to turn on the projector bulb (3rd setting its like its barely on and the halo goes out??? Fawk Im pissed!

The Silverstars are much brighter than stock, I love them. Although they don't have the "cool blue" look to them which is okay because now I don't yell out "hey copper, pull me over"...just my 2cents.
