Brighter bulbs for headlights?

[89vette]

Thanks for all the relpies. I ordered a set of PIAA Extreme white bulbs. Price from Express Auto parts was $68 and change delivered.

I'll let everyone know how it turned out.

There are a bunch of HID like bulbs out there and I think that you would be happy with most of them, I have a set that I bought online from a light retailer and they are 6000K which I think is one of the brightest bulbs available on the market. They are kind of pricey but I think that the light they emit is worth the money. I would also suggest getting a pair of bright white lights for the DRL as well. Then you will have the full bright white front look and if you run the cross over for the DRL's then you will have more light then.... Good luck... PIAA makes some good ones as well....Do a search on here and you will find tons of topics on this matter....

I just put in the silver stars today. Big difference...much whiter

You can upgrade the headlight harness and then install some 100watt xenon bulbs. Figure the PIAA's are only 55/65watt and they are much brighter than the factory ones, just think what a pair of 100watt bulbs would look like! I tried it on my h2 with brand I sell and boy was it brighter! BIG-C

Do the piaa bulbs work in the stock headlamps/drls? I've been thinking about the Silverstars but if the piaa's work I'd rather get those. If so, which part no.?

Thanks.

Zero,

How do you run the cross over for the DRL's?

When the lights are off.. Does the PIAA Extreme white reflect blue on the reflectors. That is my concern. I don't want my lights to look blue when they are off. The good thing about the Sylvanias are that they are not blue coated right?

I have HID's, but find the Piaa Xtreme White bulbs to be very good, more light, brighter light, and a better color temp. Silverstars are okay, but I think the Piaa's are better.

Steer clear of many of the cheap fake Xenon bulbs, as they are often just regular bulbs painted blue. Higher color temp, but at the cost of brightness. I have Xtreme White bulbs in all my aux lighting and they are very bright and very white.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have a loaner 03 EXT while the wifes 02 Escalade is in the shop. The EXT has HID's and they are awesome. I'm not willing/wanting to spend the money for HID's for the H2. Is there a replacement bulb that I can buy that is "almost" like HID's that is safe and reliable? Part numbers, manufacturers and comments would be appreciated. With all the deer in PA I need better lights.....and a plow.
