aftermarket "xenon" style bulbs- which are good? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5853 19 posts Started by saleeka
I kinda want to replace my factory headlight bulbs with those whiter xenon bulbs, but i dont know what brand would be a good bet. I see tons of $30 a pair sets at auto parts stores, but I cant help but think they are the kind you see on the road that look fake as hell... Ive heard that sylvania whitestars are really good, but last i checked were $120 a pair. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

Just ensure that you don't buy anything that runs above stock wattage, or if you do, be sure to use some relays and re-wire your headlights so that your car doesn't burn down to the ground.

PIAA's are good also, but get the stock wattage or do as recommended above.
What's the stock wattage?

It's 55 watts for the low beams, and 65 watts for the high beams.

APC also makes some good bulbs that are farely enexpensive. I had some in my car and was very happy with them.

Phillips Bulbs! They are LIGHT YEARS ahead of everything else. Must order them from europe though. Very cheap! VERY VERY bright! I used to run the Vision Pluses in my Tacoma for off-road use and they were INCREDIBLE! They also sell rallye lights at this site but you'll have to upgrade stock wiring big time cause they are 100ish watt bulbs.

I suggest Ebay. Their is a seller on their that sells Nokya Purples in a set of 9005, and 9006 it is only 34.99 or somthing like that, I just ordered them for my cousins Land Cruiser it came in about 3 days and they look just like HID they don't have a fake purple tint so u wont ever get accused of being a ricer with gay headlights.

Don't get eBay lights, I've had too many problems with these. Street glow looks very good on my car

i am awesome

Don't buy nokya's. They just burned out my socked two days ago since I was running higher watts then normal. The nokya's are at 80 watts but do look very good. I just got PIAA's I payed $100 canadian for them and they look awesome. Just be prepaired to spend a bit more other wise you'll end up burning your socket just like me.
i love my Hiper Industries bulbs. they have lasted me well over a year, and they look really white.
