cranny Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 check ebay dude. tons of that crap on there. stay with stock , none of them are as bright from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Cheaper than 10 bucks? None that'll look decent. Get the Sylvanias or a comparable brand. I had those on my last car and they were nice and bright and not yellow at all. What you're talking about is an HID conversion. Those, done right, will cost way more than what you're looking at.

woox Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well my car takes 9006 bulb, I am not of a super bright light, I am fine with the yellow lights, I just want them to look sexy and have a blue shade. Can you link me up with something decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Just get the Sylvanias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woox Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Aite well I am trying to figure out how to install this sucker, if I take a picture of it do you think you can kind of guide me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 yeah you can take a picture if you want, but installing new bulbs is really easy. you might have to unscrew something, but its basically just twist and pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woox Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 One last question, the Sylvanias 9006xscb bulbs they are for the normal lights right? Not the HIGH BEAM ones? Or are they the same thiong (I am assuming highbeam has a sepearate bulb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 High beam is a different bulb. Probably 9007, although I've never replaced my high beams, so that number could be wrong. If they plug in, its the right bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I recently put the Sylvania Ultra White or whatever they call it in my '99 Accord. They are noticeably whiter and brighter than the (original) stock bulbs that were in it (which I kept as spares). I got them at the local auto parts store (AutoZone or whatever). If you like the appearance of the blue lights they should be available there too. (I don't recall the brand name of the blue ones.) On my car I had to loosen three screws per light bulb and then twist and pull. Then use a small screwdriver to release the catch on the plug to the bulb and wiggle it out of the connector. Then just reverse the process with the new bulb being careful not to touch the bulb with your hands. The clerk at the store can pull up the right part number for your car.

No reason to loosen mounting screws. Just unplug then twist bulb out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin1 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 No reason to loosen mounting screws. Just unplug then twist bulb out. For some reason my car seems to be different. Even the Honda parts people were puzzled as it did not match their computer's drawings. Yes, the parts are the original parts. You can not turn the bulb assembly without loosening the screws which are clamping them in place. Go figure. Even so, the swap is pretty simple.
