    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    Just ordered the Toyota HIR1s for mine and my mom's 09 Pontiac Vibe GTs and my dad's 15 Chevy Trax LT! All said and done, it was $302.xx shipped for 6 bulbs. I saved ~$32.00 with the 10% discount. I don't have any problem spending money on high quality parts for my vehicles. Also, considering my...

    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    Thanks so much for the reassurance! I'm ordering those Vosla 120s right now! *EDIT #1: Just ordered the Vosla 120s! As I was paying, the seller jacked the price up to $46.00 a pair, plus $10.00 shipping. Still not bad though. I also ordered some of the Honda 7443 bulbs to replace my original...

    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    Unsure of exact miles, but I drive less than 10,000 miles a year total, so... I don't do a lot of nighttime driving, except during the fall and winter when the time changes. FWIW, based on my first post here, I installed the bulbs towards the end of January 2016, so not quite four years yet...

    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    Thanks for the response! I just ordered a pair each of the Honda amber krypton filled 3457s and amber 7440s online through a Honda dealer. Ended up being ~$10 per pair with shipping and all. My Vibe just turned 11, so even if these bulbs don't provide an "improvement" per se, at least I won't...

    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    I currently have Vosla HIR2 +30% bulbs (from GM) in the low beams of my 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. I was browsing the Candle Power Store and noticed they're selling Vosla HIR2 +50% bulbs. Are these actually better than my current Voslas or no? Also, I am wanting to replace the front and rear turn...

    Any new HIR bulbs out there worth trying?

    I had actually read through that post about the 120s! It looks like the glass on those is blue. Consequently, do they produce a noticeably "whiter" light? I'm a fan of warm white, not cool white. I may go ahead and order a coupe of the old school GE bulbs to try for the heck of it. A friend...

    Any new HIR bulbs out there worth trying?

    I have had Vosla HIR2 +30% low beam bulbs (from GM) and Philips HIR1 high beam bulbs installed in my 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT for a couple years now. The lighting is awesome, but recently I have been wondering if there have been any improved HIR bulbs that have come out within the past couple years...

    A year later...

    Well, it's been a little over a year since I made my first post here... All the bulbs in the Vibes and Trax are still going strong and driving at night has been so much less stressful! Also, not using the fog lights (unless it's actually foggy) and dimming the gauges has also made a huge...

    Upgraded lighting questions for 09 Pontiac Vibe GT & 15 Chevy Trax

    So, the Philips HIR1s arrived yesterday. They are legitimate Philips bulbs with the green plastic part on the backside. The Philips X-treme Visions arrived today. I have yet to drive either of the Vibes since installing the HIR1s in the high beams, however I did drive the Trax tonight. There was...

    That's pretty much what I figured. I just ordered 3 pairs of the ones you linked. Thanks again!

    Are these any good or should I just stick with these?

    Upgraded lighting questions for 09 Pontiac Vibe GT & 15 Chevy Trax

    The Voslas are great! I still need to order the X-treme Visions for the Trax low beams and the HIR1s for the high beams of the Trax and both Vibes. I'm also considering the Philips 4000k LED bulbs for interior lights and license plate lights. I want the color of these lights to match the Voslas...

    Upgraded lighting questions for 09 Pontiac Vibe GT & 15 Chevy Trax

    So, my HIRs from GM arrived today! They're the Voslas which from some quick reading on here I've gathered are currently the "best" 9012 bulb available. I trimmed them and put them in. I can't wait to drive to work tomorrow morning. I also have an appointment with a local body shop to have the...
