I'm going to carry one of these two product lines. I know there are other great brands too, like Piaa and Sylvania, but they have hefty buy-ins, and I can only afford to carry one line at this time.

Help me decide!

Your experiences with the products are helpful -- customer service stories don't help me so much, as I'll be providing my own.

 

I've never used Luminics, but Nokya seem to be the better choice. I really like my yellow ones.

 

never had luminics but im running nokya hyper yellow h3 fog lights, love em, i heard mix reviews from luminics

 

i remember them getting a bad rep, so did a quick search and found a few threads about them. maybe do a quick search and see if its something you want to deal with

Let me try to be subtle about this...

LUMINICS SUCK !!!

I used them in my headlights and they melted my wiring harness. Reliability is definitely an issue with these bulbs.

Nokya are not bad for the money, and they don't cause problems either.

I switched to the Sylvania SilverStars and they are awesome. The only way I can get better lighting is to go HID.

 

thanks, that is helpful info.

 

I got some Nokyas real cheap from ebay.. I forgot the seller but they were like $10 cheaper than anywhere else.

Had them for like 6 months so far and they are running strong. Got some for my highs and lows (artic purple) they have such a pure white color it puts my VRD bulbs to shame. Light output on my purples are no better than stock though. So if you want better light output they won't do much for you.

 

garm if you do luminics ill personally drive to you and slap you silly.
my luminics bulbs literally exploded in my headlight, and my fog light ones are currently expanded

 

Ah... the good ol' days of SL when Luminics used to roam the forums. Gloating about how "great" the bulbs were.
6 months later, people who used their bulbs were complaining about melted harnesses. People tried to PM Luminics
here on SL to no avail. Soon after, the dude completely fell off the earth. Talk about great customer service!

Noya FTW.

 

I WENT THROUGH THIS SITUATION OF PICKING BETWEEN THESE TWO!! NOKYA FTW! i did the poll and everything. Nokya is on top. Luminics burn ur wires and stuff!

 

my luminics didnt burn my wire harness thankfully, however they burned out within 6 months. even if it was $20 you kind of expect a longer life and better quality...

 

Nokya ftw!

 

x 2

 

tally another for nokya

 

well i guess i am the one that had problems with nokya... im not sayin they are bad, but they burned my wires twice so im back with stock ones again... ive had arctic white bulbs if it makes any difference in this case

 

I don't have experience with either but, my friend has some yellow nokya bulbs in his foglights, and it says that it slightly melted the wiring (i forgot what he said exactly)

 

 

luminics burn wayyyyt o fast, nokya rocks! ive had my yellow bulbs in my high beams for a long ___ time and they still work perfect!!

have them in my fogs as well

 

mine didnt burn wires but they basically melted most of the bulb socket so when i took the nokya bulb out there was basically nothing left after bulb socked...

 

thanks guys for all the great feedback.

Looks like Nokya has the favorable rep and hey.... you're the ones that will be buying them...right?
