Just installed some Piaa superwhite bulbs and not happy with the outcome.They just came out Superbright Stock yellow.I really want the White look as close to the Xenons as possible.Any Brand suggestions? Thanks

You can try the Sylvania silverstars, but I have heard mixed reviews about those and they are not cheap. You can get HID kits for around $300 now and easty to install---then you don't have to worry about 'looking' like Xenons!!

I'm going to try the JC Whitney 9007 Diamond Blue Halogen Bulbs, #ZX816017P @ $13.99 each. They are 100/80-watt bulbs and I've seen them in a fellow H2 owners vehicle....they look great and seem to be lasting quite well.

if you want the look of HID's, TRUST me...get the HIDs. Everything else will NOT give you want your looking for. EOS! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I agree. Get HID's or get higher wattage bulbs that are in the 4000 Kelvin temp range.

I can highly recommend the Hella 9007/HB5 100/80W Bulb. It's about 36 bucks a set on average. Hella Part # 83710 (old catalog) or 83175122 (current catalog).

I went with NOKYA cosmowhite 5000K, 80/100w. Although it's a much improvement from stock, the beam still not intense as compare to HID. I also upgraded the wiring and run separate relay/fuse to handle extra power load. I highly reccommend upgrading the wiring if you plan to use the high wattage bulbs.

Let's see...$300 or close for $28. Guess I'll just be going to ID's not HID's. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Becareful with those bulbs, they might melt your plugs. Had it happen to me with my suburban.
