headlights...whatcha runnin?
hey guys, so im looking for a different nighttime look on my 02 rally, and im looking between 3500K simulation bulbs, which i had in my last car and they were AWESOME! or some K temp of an HID kit. i was just wondering what you guys were running and how they are working out for you
im a little iffy on the hids because i would love to run two beams, and the same goes for the others, i haven't come across any that are dual filament and colored
Edit- ok i just found some dual filament bulbs, but im still hoping you guys can give me your thoughts on "regular bulbs" vs HIDS...

forgot the specs of the bulbs i was using haha.. the headlights are dual beam for hi/lo (a custom harness is needed, i made my own. its really simple, any q's about that just ask )
the watt of the bulbs are 65w for the 9005's klv rating is 7000 and for the h1's, they are 70w klv rating is 7000... the light output @ night is a nice white/blueish color

For brightness i would go with a nice set of 6000k Bixneon Hids in a nice regular sized ballast .
As for brightest headlights housing . I would say the stock Stanely dealer headlights do the best job on out put . All the ebay black housing and cedias suck as disbursing light i actually have the Cedias and did not like them at all so i did a Tsx retrofit on them .
So for the best bang for the buck get 6000k Reg ballast kit and stock headlights .

cedias sux ?, shame on you.. they are the best heads for the lancer .. i fail to see how the disbursing of the light is bad unless ur lamps arent aligned correctly
mine is perfect.. i rarely use my hi's cause the lows give perfect light output, comb with the aux lights really no need for hid's

After reviewing some lighting forums and the comparison between life duration , brightness, and distance.... I picked up some SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlights yesterday.
Defiantly noticed a different "type of light" when driving at night. The silverstar lights have a pure white look with a hint of blue vs a yellow white or tinted bluish tone . Also, making sure headlight aim is proper assures a more promising view.
Plans in the future might lean towards HIDs. maybe

i dont think i can run a hallogen and hid, my set up is a single bulb set up, my last car had sets of high and low bulbs and i liked that, but these are single, i was recently told that if i go HID, im only going to be able to run a low beam basically....but somehow that doesn't seem right to me...what you guys think?
