Piece of crap lights

james007wjs · 04-18-2006, 09:29 PM

Went to the store today to pickup some new bulbs and the guy said they took the blues off the market due to the color and cops and how they can't be on cars. What about all the high end cars that have standard blue lights. Does anyone know where I can find some blue bulbs

The high end blue lights are Xenon. The "bulbs" don't actually have a filament, as I understand it, a spark jumps between two contacts.

The blue bulbs should be illegal. I've got em on my car, and although they are pretty, I can't see crap. They're pretty damn dim, as is the case with most of these.

The reccomended bulb seems to be Sylvania Silverstars. I don't think they're blue, but they're really really white, and pretty damn bright, too. Lil pricey, but it's worth it.

If you still want the ****ty ricey blue bulbs, go to eBay.

I bought my hyperblues on ebay for .1 cent (plus 2 dollars shipping) and they are bright as hell...

bought my sylvanias at wally world and it was less than 20.00 for them.

Yeah i agree here, the blue lights you cant see anything. esp. when the road is wet. I would go with the bright white ones, they look more clean, and they give you better vision at night.
