Honestly I've never had good luck with aftermarket bulbs, thats my experience, so personally I can't recommend any of them.

hyper white recommendation

I got some of the hyper-white bulbs for my car, from a vendor on the site- theljnet. If you do a search that guy will pop up. I got 2 pairs for $25 shipped to me. That vendor also carries the foglight bulbs too. I kept my fogs stock. The brand of bulbs I got was Ikdo. I put the link from the thread I found from him, and made my purchase. There are other brands out there, but for the 3 months I've had them in so far I have nothing to complain about. Send a message to this particular seller and ask if its going on, and you should be good to go.

just go with HIDS
after market bulbs will just burn out very fast
and you will end up paying as much as you were for hids
hids are like 50-100 dollars now easily on ebay
just grab it from ebat
or if you local in houston i can get you some for locally with local warranty

Don't go HID's just get a nice set of PIAA's and you can't go wrong. They produce phenomenal light with stock wattage... so no ballasts or burnt out bulbs every couple of months. Then you aren't messing around too much and avoiding the ghetto HID look.


The Name Says it All! PIAA’s Intense White bulbs produce a more radiant white beam without any hint of blue. This bulb has been completely re-engineered from the ground up. What you’ll see in the 9005 and 9006 bulbs is a larger glass tube with a white top coat. The larger glass tube increases output (28% whiter color than STAR WHITE) and allows the bulb to burn at much cooler temperatures. PIAA’s new Intense White Bulbs provide the best possible balance between performance and bulb life.
Twin Pack 10904 Single Pack 10934 Bulb Type H4 Wattage 60/55w = 135/125w, 4100K Technology Intense White

I had MTEC 2X bulbs on my 2002 Civic and they looked good. Much better than when I had Sylvannia Silverstars. They're made in Japan. You can get them on ebay:

Nomatter wat kind of aftermarket halogens they are they always dont seem to last long than stock bulbs. They are only a little bit brighter than stock too. I mean wat do have to lose? Its just 54 bucks. And the piaa bulbs are just as expensive and not as bright at all. But hey i guess everyone has to find out eventually, everyone only learns when they waste the money on halogens over and over until you end up get hids. Also like i said get 4300k and it will look the same as piaas but more visibility.

PIAA
I agree here. I got PIAA's Xtreme White Plus and I am very happy with them. I have had them for a year now and no problems so far. (knock on wood)

If you want to stick with halogens get PIAA Xtreme's. I had them for almost year before I got my HIDs and never had any problems with them. They were white, with VERY little yellow tint to them, a little brighter than my OEM bulbs, but nothing compared to HIDs. Silverstars suck, even the new ones. They are overpriced and blow like crazy. I went through 3 sets in my time and my wife went through 2 before I tried PIAA and then eventually HIDs. Now that I've had HIDs for over 2 years I know I will never go back. To each his own.
