I need new bulbs

[ilghap]

I posted this on the other starlet site but only had 1 reply.

Hoping I will get more help on here

I got a set of real nice HID lookalike from hong kong but it blew just the other day.

Just wondering if I can get some over here in the UK.

I am after a white blue look, not the ones from halfrods which say white lights with a hint of blue which are actually yellow.

Seen some chav around here with some on but I'm not going to ask them!!!!!

something like 5000k

Any ideas.

Cheers

Chi

hi chi, have you tried Ring Sportz blue which are 100w ones, i've got them on the SR i have and it's kinda bright and a hint of blue when other people see it coming.

Nokya do nice blue tinted ones but they aren't that bright.

Or try any of these:

Also these other bulbs i use, which are half blue half rainbow, 100w/90w.

Excuse the purple side light.

These are the Nokya ones, but dunno if they do H4, they are nice blue color but you see crap out of them, but my mate loved it, even though the road isn't clear.

i have ring sportz blue, 100w

cost me 11quid off ebay and they are brill!

[shelly_star]

they are nice and bright arent they Eric? Well..... least it's a pure white light at night times. Even though yellow bulbs are the best colour for any road, you can see well clear with yellow bulbs, even through fog.

i got 6000k HID xenons to go on my glanza when we get the chance!

[ilghap]

cheers Shelly

I tried typing in HID bulbs and found a few but my mate got a set from there and it's yellow.

Just 1 thing. do you or anyone else know if the 100w is too powerful for the GT?? when I say powerful I mean HOT, I have plastic headlight, wont 100w melt the lens???

[shelly_star]

my glanza ones are plastic and have never had a problem yet. do you drive long time at nights? i seriously had no problems.

Dont mean to hi-jack the thread just a question for Shelly...how the hell did u get that sunstrip thro MOT!!!!! I have one similar to that but im havin to have a clear version made up so it'll go thro MOT!!!

[shelly_star]

the sunstrip is actually on the inside, and our MOT place is quite cool about sunstrips.

[Nanglebadger]

Damn it...ok cheers.

I do sometime drive quite far at nights. I have heard from other people that the power will melt the lens. I dont really want to put it it to the test as the headlights are quite hard to find for thw GT's.

I am guessing that shelly bought that sunstrip from hong kong.

Most of the sunstrips in Hong Kong are see through and they are used on the inside.

I was just there about a month ago, Man I am missing it already.

[shelly_star]

yes its from hk, good stuff. Well Chi if you wanna be safe, then low wattage bulbs are your only options.

Or if you know anyone from hk that can get you some bulbs.

Good luck.

yeh looking at shellys car the sunstrip is a good size it all depends on the view from the inside ive seen some fail and some pass at where i work and that looks like a pass to me

Yep nice and bright lights.. looks cool aswell. Personally i dont like the look of yellowish bulbs. Although i do agree with you that yellows are better for night because it lights up the road better, but these blue ones are stylish
