I'm just looking for H4 bulbs

2001Millrunner · 07-24-2003, 03:41 AM

I'm using PIAA Xtreme White, and i got it for looks and believe me, that's all that's good for. i already have 2 sets of foglights on my rig. If you're looking for something that's bright and has a bit whiter beam, go with the Sylvania Silverstars(i think that's what they're called). Also I heard the brightst bulbs are Hella bulbs.

Oh and BTW, I dont think ANY lights will cost you million bucks

I know, but it usually turns out to be a 40pg thread with a bunch of bickering. I was just looking for a few quick answers.

Tacoma Dude · 07-24-2003, 09:49 AM

I've heard the Phillips are pretty good.
I have the Silverstars and I like'em

nags · 08-05-2003, 08:12 PM

just got some Sylvania Silverstars... I'm not impressed at all. I swear the no name hyper white bulbs I bought for $15/pr were brighter

flecker · 08-05-2003, 08:15 PM

I used the Hella OEM replacements... Super bright! Haven't even tried the high beams yet

Got them from 4wheel wholesalers in compton off the 91 last time I was in California.

Phillips Vision Plus are great bulbs also supposedly more usable light on the road than the Sylvannia Silverstars.

Phillips Vision Plus work really well for me ...

Cmar · 08-06-2003, 02:17 AM

The Philips Vision Plus are great if you want clean white light, not a hint of oem yellowish light. And the give your lights a cool blue glow even when they are off. AND!! you get a set of super white side lights that match the H4's. I got mine from powerblubs in the UK.

Very impressed...

ManyMods · 08-06-2003, 03:16 AM

If you are thinking of installing brighter H4 bulbs you might want to start by building a headlight harness with separate relays that has a direct 12V connection. It will even improve the brightness of your OE bulbs and will allow you to optimize the capability of any aftermarket bulbs. Usually, OE harnesses are made with minimal gauge wire to save $$$ for the Mfg. JM2C, YMMV

2001Millrunner · 08-06-2003, 03:55 AM

just get whatever lights and invest your money on FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS!!! not only it looks cool, for about 50 bucks a pair of Hella 500s, you just cant go wrong.

Cmar · 08-06-2003, 01:32 PM

@ ManyMods,

Can you give a brief explanation of the seperate headlight relay?
Do you mean using a relay for the light each side? Do you use one (relay) for the dip and one for the main beam using the stock wiring to switch the relay?

Thanks
