Finally got some luminics ultra whites from:: http://www.automotivelightingusa.com
They gave me awesome service and would gladly buy the nxt pair of H11's for my fogs.. They arrived in 3dys. They were very helpful and friendly. Check out the difference on my pics! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2240735

Do you know off hand what their warranty or life span is comparred to sylverstars?

 

[swoop1156]

I am sure they have a thinner filament to make them brighter while only drawing 55w. That's how they get away with it. The thinner filament is more fragile, and will eventually wear out faster.

My girlfriend over in Japan is gonna send me some H11's... I should either have a neat suprise, or a complete disaster with what I am planning, lol.

Just be careful guys, the aftermarket bulbs can burn out your wire harness also

[/quote]Yeah, that happened to my sister's Focus. I had to splice in new connectors!

 

[revspeed702]

Yes I made sure they are for a low wattage draw! Because I know the 1st place I tried to get them from they had h11's Nokya but they were for hight wattage! I believe my warranty is only 6monhts or a year! But if any of you know where to get the silverstars please let me know. I tried to look for them everywhere?

[/quote]There will never be Silverstars made with the new lightbulb law that was passed... It's done, over. The only bulbs that can be changed, are one's that were already in production before the law went into effect.

 

[captainhook]

What law :?

 

[Brett1]

Only law I know is the ones that make it not legal for selling HID's for conversion kits, But that hasnt stopped anyone from selling or buying, I know it didnt stop me..LOL

 

[magik1]

I JUST INSTALLED MY HYPER WHITE BULBS ON MY FUSION :shock: .... IT WAS A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK ESPECIALLY ON THE PASSANGER SIDE IT TOOK ME LIKE AN HOUR TO DO THEM I WANTED TO GET AN HID KIT FOR THE SPRING TIME BUT IM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO DO THAT ANYMORE... DOES ANYONE AN EASIER WAY TO INSTALL???? DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER AND HEADLIGHTS TO INSTALL THE HID KIT???

 

[TheRussian]

got some hyper whites as well )~

 

[ajp745li]

I also installed the Luminics Ultra Whites. THEY ARE COMING OUT!!! They look GREAT but they don't project much light on to the road. I have the high beams and the lows, they suck.

[/quote]By the ending of his post, and how they suck -- he said "They are coming out" as in coming out of the car, he don't like them.

 

[ajp745li]

Yes they are out of the car now. I couldn't drive at night with them, I couldn't see anything even with the high beams on. I made sure to adjust them correctly too but they were just terrible!

 

[pegair]

For anyone thinking about modifying their car lights from stock in any way .. I would suggest reading this site.

There are things you can do which will actually improve night vision.

Ahh so we can use H9 instead of H11 and it will fit

Where do you get this?

 

[ito]

I cannot see risking puttin in the "Ultra White" bulb. I used Hyper Whites in my 2002 Explorer with horrible results. My bulbs were burning out about once a month... then my wires all fried together... Silverstars are the only way to go if you don't want to spend the money on an HID kit.
As for me... I will wait until an aftermarket company comes out with a projector headlight assembly, then I will do an HID conversion. I just don't like the performance of an HID when not in a projector.

I don't like to change out my low beam lights; however I do buy the H7ST from sylvania for the high-beam. I've always found that I really only need the extra lighting on the HB and not the LB :shrug:
