Hello Everyone,

What is everyone running for headlights if not going the HID route. I heard great things about Luminics, PIAA & GP Thunder (but they don't know make nothing else than 8500k. I purchased the Luminics Titanium white 5500k headlight bulbs due to driving at night at times and I need the extra seeing distance when I go around all non lit areas. Any good reviews about Luminics from the forum members here?

I've used Silverstar Ultra bulbs in a variety of vehicles. They have much better light output than standard bulbs and also a whiter light. I don't think they would be as good as the HIDs I have in the RAM now, but if you don't want HIDs they are a great alternative. I have some in my motorcycle and the other night when I was heading home after dark I was again amazed at how bright they are. The single headlight on my VTX was lighting up the road better than a lot of cars I've ridden in.

I was also looking to go your route, Hids are available in all sorts of brightness levels from 5-12000k, and price have significantly dropped in those systems, i once paid $250 for just the head lights for my 06 charger, a couple months ago i got headlights and fogs for $130, so thats around what those silverstars would cost, and lights are plug and play, no cutting or modding factory wiring.

Silverstars in the headlights and Silverstar Ultra's in the fogs. They don't make the Ultra's for the headlights H13(9008).

For the Silverstar Ultras in the fogs what did you use because as far as I see hey don't have 9145 bulbs that I see.

here's the 'standard' silverstar 9145 on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-9145-...6632659&sr=8-1

i'm wary of going with Silverstars myself. they supposedly have a very quick burn-out rate. i've ran them in a past vehicle but sold it a few months later, so i have no long term experience with them. i'm considering PIAA Xtreme Whites as they are supposed to have a longer life.
