haha... i've easily spent $120 so far in a year trying bulbs since the cheap ones blow easily. i think i've used polarg before. the nokya's are the only ones that have lasted me more than 2-3 months. i know polarg makes cool bulbs for the turn signals.

Have you done the power calculations or are you just using Blaze as a guinea pig? :)

i'm saying that because those are the same ratings that i'm using and i've never had a problem. so speaking from experience, there should be no problem. being a developler, i like to use the word "should" whenever i can.

Sylvania bulbs

Postby Solara916 » Thu Oct 24, 2002 10:58 am

do these bulbs have that blue tint to them? I'm trying to find some quality super-whites, but not so pricey. I've heard that the Sylvania's are decently priced, but i don't want to buy them and have it turn out that they DO have the blue tint to them.

most of the halogen bulbs have a blue tint to them. you may have to get true HIDs in order to get just white with no blue. the bulbs acura uses seem to be the whitest bulbs i've seen.

Do the Acura's have the HID setup? If not...what kind of bulbs do they use?
