bulbs?

maroon ranger · Jan 10, 2009

I just recently bought a set of black head lights like these

and I want to know what bulbs should I use...I really like the xenon bulbs but then I hear things about them like, they scatter the light and blind on coming traffic, is that true? I f you guys have any suggestions throw them my way, I'd really appriciate it!! :headbang:

Anybody atleast know what I'm talkin about?? Or even have an opinion?

Look for silverstars, they carry them at checker, or shucks or whatever you have around you. They also have have them at walmart. Haha. They are the super white light bulbs, they work very well, and are about 40 bucks.

i have a buddy with those same headlights. is it true that the factory bulb housing is closed off and that only the lower "projector" bulb works?

Yeah I got them off ebay for cheap and they should be in the mail sometime this week. So when I get them put on I will take pics and post them up. And by the way I ended up getting these bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230316358479&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=

those are okay bulbs , but they are deffinently not HID , they look more like a sylvania cool blue headlight , but the are deff not HID

click on HID and read up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlamp#HID_.28xenon.29_light_sources

maroon ranger · Jan 12, 2009

I know what HID is and thats why I bought these because they aren't HID!!! The seller says they are but I know for sure they aren't!!!! Plus I didn't want HID I just wanted xenon bulbs. But thanks for the heads up.

koa's93ranger · Jan 13, 2009

i think those bulbs are amazing. i have the same ones, but the color is 8500k instead of 5000k. so mine are very very blue. and yes, please post pictures when youre done cuz if they work for you, im definately ordering me a set of those headlights.

completion pictures are not too important, im more interested in instalation pictures, thatll be very helpful. i just wanna know if you can pop in those xenon bulbs, or if you have to custom place them in there using silicone. thats what one guy did so im just curious

maroon ranger · Jan 13, 2009

alrighty, yeah it is just three screws that take for ever to back in and out by hand but yeah I will post picks. and I do believe that the bulbs are just plug and play. by the way I got the lights in the mail today and was going throgh the box and well it comes with the wiring but there are no instructions...so if anybody knows where I can get some instructions about the added wiring for the smaller bulbs that would be sweet!!!

No the bulb housing is open for the stock bulb, but there is additional wiring that I suppose you plug to the battery and what not for the two smaller bulbs.
