Comparing HID's to Halogen bulbs is like comparing apples to oranges.
Of course HID's look better.

I like my apples

I'd like some "apples" but I can only afford "oranges" LOL

still havn't gotten a chance to do this... have you web?
I'm sure everyone is wondering what happened.
I just havn't had time.
I'll try to make some time soon!

Ok, so I decided to fend off the cold for a bit and do the wall test with 3 different bulbs: Nokya Magnum Cosmic White (5000K), Silverstar (4000K), and Euro Design (8500K). Here's my results...

Nokya:


Nokya vs. Silverstar:


Nokya vs. Eurodesign:


My verdict...

Nokya has a clearer, more crisp light output.

D_M_A_N

is silverstar pretty close to stock color? or is it a bit whiter than stock?
you can tell a BIG diff between silverstar and Nokya. I must admit that these are the best bulbs I have had. Now I just hope they dont blow out like all of my other after market bulbs! I'll get some pics too.

very nice comparison! silverstars blow, for what you pay the differnce is barely noticable..

The silverstar isn't much brighter, but allows a bit more light to be produced with the reflective coating on the lens.

The Nokya's give off a brighter and clearer light then the other 2 that I tested and help me see a bit more at night too.

thanks for taking the pics! I'm going with the Nokyas instead of Silverstars.

I guarantee the silverstars have a higher light output. They also will light up a dark highway better. Think about it, a yellow light will reflect more visible light on a dark surface than a blue light. You can look to science if you dont believe me. Its the color of the light. Our eyes will always see better with light around 3800-4200. Anything above this is really for looks.

hey i'm really interested in getting these. but i'm new to this stuff. what is the model size for the regular driving light (low beam- i think) and do i need a high beam one...and one more question..how do you install this - the bulbs and wire harness? sorry bout all the questions...Thanks

captainlaziness

^^^hey thanks...what about the install...how do you do it..oh and what if i wanted to change the signal bulb in the headlight and the side mirrors...i searched it but it only told me about the side mirrors - amber too white. and it seems pretty hard b/c of the use of a dremel. anyways thanks again for the help..if the install is easy then i will purchase the bulbs tommorrow. thanks

D_M_A_N

the install for the headlight bulbs should be easy as pie, just replace the bulbs, if you want to upgrade the harness, you can buy a plug & play harness so you dont have to do any wire cutting.

I dont personally know about the signal lights on the tC's.

hope this helps

web

Signal lights you have to go in between the gap between the radiator and the grille. There's a plug on the side of the housing and has the 7440 bulb in it.
