    New car, need D1S and H7 bulbs.

    oooh cool...didnt know that. for my bmw i stuck with OEM GEs..very happy with them $38 each. Very big difference. The problem with HIDs is they keep tuning on much father down the line so many people don't replace them, they don;t know what they're missing.

    New car, need D1S and H7 bulbs.

    I thought for HIDs, the best bulbs are DOT approved OEMs since they output the safest color temp 4000 to 4300K? How are the nighbreakers and Philips engineering to project more light exactly? What color temp are they? I understand with halogens u can improve the filament, but how can you...

    Are there HID bulbs in the 3000 to 3800K color range?

    Virgil, on a side note...are Hella HID bulbs just as good as GE, Osram, Philips, etc... Rockauto has them much cheaper compared the regular brands.

    Are there HID bulbs in the 3000 to 3800K color range?

    oh, well that doesn't sound safe...i guess that color temp is not a very marketable.

    Are there HID bulbs in the 3000 to 3800K color range?

    Hello, I have a 08 BMW 750 and 04 LS430, both use OEM DOT-compliant xenons. Their color temp is 4300k I believe. My question is are there reputable xenon bulbs that match halogen color temperature in the 3000s to 4000s? For me , I prefer the warmer color especially in bad weather.

    I just came across these... https://www.amazon.com/Osram-Ultra-Xenarc-Headlight-66140ULT-HCB/dp/B01LQ14228 Ultra long life 10 year warranty. How much dimmer are they compared to the OEMs (OEM is 4 year warranty)? What did they do to give the capsule longer life?

    How Did We See With Halogen Headlights? by Doug DeMuro

    Back in 2004, I rented a 2004 Ford Freestar. Drove to the airport at night and couldn't believe how good the halogen headlights were. I kid you not, even better distance light than some HIDs. The van itself sucked, could n;t fold down seats easily like Chrylers stow and go....but anywho. This...

    08 BMW 750 DS1 Bulb - Is GE good brand still?

    Sorry about that. the reason I went with the Osram is because they have that bar code on the packaging to tell if its legit....so peace of mind. The GE , didn't seem to have that. But, on a the bright side (no pun intended), the new bulbs are infinitely better than the old ones obviously. If...

    2013 Toyota Avalon XLE Premium dual low beam projectors 9005 to 9011 upgrade

    How can 9005s be used for low beam? Isn't that too much glare? I'm surprised the user says the light output is low wants to upgrade.

    08 BMW 750 DS1 Bulb - Is GE good brand still?

    I really think the standard HIDs are fine. I ordered the Osram 66140 CLC for $45, the night breaker are almost $25 to $30 more per bulb. I was completely ignorant that these HIDs bulbs may last a much longer time compared to halogens, but they do lost there lumens. I believe there are many...
