Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
www.powerbulbs.com has a sale on the best and brightest (and legal) H4 bulbs for your 01-03 civic. No other bulb comes close and for this price is a steal.

I got these like a month and a half ago at regular price, but I highly recommend these bulbs.

theres a huge difference in brightness and whiteness. im using ebay aftermarket "oem style" headlamps and with regular halogen bulb i could barely see the road. with the xp bulbs now they are actually safe to drive with. the reflectors suck but the new bulbs help alot. i can try to get a comparo pic side by side if i get a chance. but i do have some old pics in the real oem honda headlamps. the pics are unfortunately not the exact same exposure, but its pretty close to how they look in real life.

Looks whiter and more concentrated than than OEM, but OEM looks like it disperses more. I'll pick up a pair next time I'm at PartSource

Shit Partsource does not have them, any other place you guys know where i could pick them up locally in toronto??

DDragon7 04-05-2009 10:11 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
Just get them at Power Bulbs, its free shipping anyways, with no brokerage fees. They got to Ottawa in exactly 1 week.

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
im pretty sure usa and canada does not have these bulbs in stores. otherwise the whole sylvania line would go in the trash if they started importing euro spec bulbs.

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
Alright cool thanks guys I was worried about the shipping costs to Canada, but if its free than thats sweet

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
so I have an 05. The add says 01-03. Anyone know if they are good in 04-05?

gearbox 04-07-2009 07:50 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
nope, 04-05 uses 9006 bulb i believe for lo beam, and 9005 for the hi beam. which i think they make 9006 philips xp but not from that site on sale. you can find them from www.aidauto.com

headphonejockey 04-21-2009 09:43 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
Are these for high beams or low beams?
If only specifically low/high, what do i buy for the counterpart?

gearbox 04-21-2009 11:20 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
H4 is both lo and hi in the same bulb for 01-03 civic. 04-05 civic uses two bulbs and the xp is only available in 9006 lo beam.

ExpliciT97 07-26-2011 09:33 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
Sorry for reviving this thread but.. Would I just need to get the 9006 for my 2005? Or would I have to find some 9005 as well? Aid Auto only has 9003, 9006 and H7.

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
you only need low beams.

gearbox 07-26-2011 11:08 PM

Re: Philips XP bulbs only $30 shipped
 
yeah they make em for lo beams which is 9006 for 04-05 civics. the hi beam you can leave stock or if you need something a bunch brighter, the toshiba HIR bulbs can be modded to fit. unless you are always alone on back roads, i wouldnt waste money on the hi beam.

Gearbox, I just checked the site. did you pay $30 US for them?

I've wasted so much money on headlight bulbs. I'm sticking with cheapest I can find. They have lasted me over a year now.
