Hyperwhite bulb replacement?

[rtcpenguin]

I want to replace my current headlamp bulb with a hyperwhite bulb. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a website/store that sells them. I don't care for the Silverstars (too yellow), and prefer the bulbs that are tinted blue. I got a pair of bulbs from CC for $16 (for my car) that are nice, but they are the wrong wattage for the GS.

you could try out racinglab.com they have a lot of different types of bulbs.

I have a PIAA Super White bulb that I got last year.  (They don't seem to make them anymore.)  I like the color, but it's only about 3800K, not intense enough for your tastes I suspect.

Still, any of these would do.  Pick something in the 4000K or hotter, like the Super Plasma GT-X.  That should be hot enough for ya.

Careful with blue-tinted bulbs.

My experience with PIAA bulbs (with cars) is that they are no different that other hyperwhite bulbs and many times the price.

These ones seem reasonable: http://store.racinglab.com/kyosuexxewhh2.html , but I will continue checking local stores to see if they have anything similar.

Yeah... Seriously...  Who the hell thought blue light would be a good thing?    They must be a huge fan of glare.

Yeah, blue is lame. But I don't really care.

Btw, RVertigo, :O funky sig.

Didn't they use to/still think yellow was better? Or they didn't know how to create white lights? (most old cars have yellow bulbs, plus the color of street lights)

[RVertigo]

Yellow is better...  Cuts glare, rather than adding to it.

You talking about my pic?    Yeah... So odd I had to take a picture.   :lol:

That's a good site:

Street lights are yellow because they're sodium vapor lamps.

Maybe I'm just magical, because I can definitely see more with my hyperwhites in my car than its old yellow stock bulbs.

Yeah the silverstars are not yellow at all, I have im right now and they are pretty white, with a hint of blue....there much better than a stock bulb.....
