Sylvania Silverstar 9003/H4

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

as far as i know, they do. i haven't researched the specifics, but they are Xenon HID bulbs.

coo..thanks man.

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.

From what I've noticed, even the real HID systems have a blue tint. I was driving with my friend yesterday, and I saw a BMW X5 (the SUV) with them. The headlights definitely had a bluish purplish tint.

yeah, i know. the bmw, the honda s2k, mercedes, all have blue tints. the lexus and acura ones have less blue than the others if any at all.

thanks guys....btw...any of you have any tips for a guy that knows nothing about mods. I want to put in a new intake system...for the extra HP (even though its small)...but i don't know what'll do to my car besides add the HP (hopefully)

just do a search for injen intake... there are several discussions on the pro's, con's of the intake. it all depends on where you live, weather, driving conditions, and all that.

coo..thanks again man.

why doesn't toyota put or have HID as an option on their cars?? or at least the solara, celica, etc.

toyota isnt really luxury, thats why they invented lexus, the acura of the hondas, and um sum others like the audi of the vw's

[Missay]

they should still have it though to compete and keep up w/ the other manufacturers

that's what i was saying. it also isn't worth the money for companies to retrofit them because the solara isn't as popular as say... the civic. but the camry is supposedly one of the highest selling cars so i don't know why they wouldn't give the option for them.

i think toyota is going all wrong w/ the marketing of the solara...all they'd have to do is give it a little sportier flare and market it better and i'd betcha it would become popular...that's ok..i'm kinda glad they're stupid cause it make us more unique!!

you're unique....just like everybody else!!

For the first time ever I saw three solaras in one parking lot! And that was jus the small section of the parking lot I saw. One of them was mine...

i see solaras all over the place here.. considering there are 3 or 4 nice sized toyota dealerships within 10 miles in any direction, and there are million people in the washington dc. seeing 4 solaras a day isn't that bad. i see civics everywhere.

[Missay]

wow..that's a lot..i'm lucky if i see one a day..usually i see one like every 3-4 days
