Brighter bulbs for headlights?

[drouke]

thanks Dan.

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.

The PIAA 19617 bulbs fit in the stock headlight housings. You can change them both in about two minutes. I just installed mine tonight. The light is definately whiter than the stock halogens but they are not like the HID's that were on the Escalade I had as a loaner. With the HID's items such as road signs and the white line on the road seemed to really stand out. I might try the Xenarc HID conversion to get brighter white light.

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

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?

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 had both installed on my H2. Of the two I recomend the PIAA Super White Bulbs, they are a very white light with very little blue. The Silvanias have more of a blue tint to them and I beleive that they are not as bright as the PIAA bulbs. No matter what brand you choose they all have some kind of coating on the bulb to give the color needed. Its all up to what you are fond of. BIG-C

What's the difference between the Xenon XD5 bulbs and the XD5 H7 bulbs on your website? I want to order some but I'm not sure which ones I need for my '04 H2. Are these the PIAAs you are referring to in your post?

Since I am not a H2 Hummer owner, I have not know about the H2 headlight set up, but if they are the 6024 like on the H1, Sylvania makes a HID headlight that replaces the 6024 headlight. There are two versions of them, the first generation sucks and make sure you do not end up with them or you will not be happy with them. The second generation that came out this mid summer are much better, cost is about $400 I think.

The Silver Stars bulbs are about the next best thing for the money, you get a little more light of them, but also a better color. I have the X2020 HID from Sylvania on the Suburban and the highbeams are the Silver Star and side by side to the HID, they are great IMHO.

Allan,

I keep watching that H1 vs H2 clip and I can't help wonder, how thick is your skin? Are you collecting more info for your next TV appearance?

Hey BA,

Those are not the PIAA bulbs but they are XD5 brand. The H7 bulb set is for your H2's headlights and the H3 bulb set is for your factory off road lights. For less then $20 a set there well worth the money, they are a hot product on the site. No matter what our XD bulbs or the PIAA bulbs will be an improvement over the stock yellow looking lights. BIG-C
