    Question What size H4 do we need for the headlight bulb?

    I saw these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1871486106 and it says to state what size I need. So what size do we have?

    H4 does designate the size, there is no other info needed.

    If you are looking to upgrade your lights, i would highly advise you to stay away from these hyper white knock offs. they are all crap. almost all of them run at a higher wattage which means two things, shorter life, and runs hotter. the shorter life only kills your pocket, but the higher wattage can actually damage you wiring or worse yet, your electrical system.

    I just actually did my first upgrade to the ep which was the headlights. I highly reccommend you going with Raybrig lights. They offer a few different versions and colors of light so you can customize your set up. They also have a race version which is not street legal (thats what i am using) which is absolutely incredible. They are not cheap, but like i said, well worth it. They also dont burn out like the other brands.

    If you need more info or need a place to get them from, hit me up, i ll be glad to help you

    PIAA sucks, imo. I went through about 10 fog light bulbs for the piaa fog lights i had. I got soooo tired of going through the bulbs, that I went to walmart and got the same bulb with a lower wattage and it never went out and looked just as bright

    Honestly, i think you were lucky. For the longest time no one made any descent light bulbs in an H7. I had gone through atleast 4 pair in a year on my moms S type.

    But hey, whatever makes YOU happy :)

    No, i dont believe they are the magnum whites, those are street legal ;)

    In that line, they have a few different hues, the magnum white which is a hyper white (HID look) they have a Blue, and a VIP which is the most amazing mix of purple and yellow.


    Mine are not street legal, they are named something else (forgot :( ) i ll double check the name and get back to you.

    They are the brightest lights available which is why they are not legal. In addition, the light is 2 stages, from dead on it is hyper white, from a lower angle, it is yellow. Basically its a fog light and headlight all in one. Its hard to explain, i will have to snap some photos of them for you to really get the idea.

    Keep in mind though, they are not annoying, i would not buy something that would piss other driver s off.

    H4 and 55/60watt are what you want there are different watts and the higher watts are brighter but they don't last as long. I m using 55/60 watts in both my cars..... there tocan crystal whites........

    Don't believe the hype..........they great.

    I wouldn't buy the 100/watts bulbs.

    You might want to try out the new Sylvania Silverstars which come in 9003/H4. Same thing. They look good on my friends 00 civic coupe. Much brighter then the stock.....I did comparison between his and mine. They are definetly brigther and whiter.....not BLUE just nice clean white. They do have a slight hint of blue at certain angles but not extreme. I am planning to get some but I might just wait and get an HID kit.

    Well again, I had these exact type of bulbs (90/100) in my last car. I bought them from someone else on ebay, but they are the same. They lasted forever and I didn't have a problem.

    i was reading this thread carefully you mentioned my car which is 2000 civic. this is obviously better than stock and most of you guys says that putting 50/60 watts bulbs is the safest compared to 100watts which can damage your car wiring because it just get hot faster than 50/60 watts bulbs. Well sorry for bumping an old thread older than my gran ma. i just learned a good thing on this before buying 2000 Honda civic headlight bulbs
