-Looking to replace my accords low beams. bulb number-9006
-look for a more euro or HID look
yes I know you can not attain that look without actually converting.
-I do know that there are many brands that achieve the "look" but the bulbs to not light up the road well.
-Does anyone know of any bulbs that don't have that yellow stock look, but still function by lighting up the road?


-using silverstar ultras now, they are ok.
-I have heard of luminacs and piaa.

- THis is my first post, I think I followed all the rules, please tell me if I didn't !

Thanks

 

You can get a real HID kit with 9006 bulbs for less then $50

I think I paid $35 for my last kit.

That would be the best way, all the bulbs with coatings on them to make them look like HID's are much dimmer than stock bulbs - not a good quality for headlights.

 

I am trying to avoid going HID only because they are illegal in most places if they are after market. plus they are a little out of my price range.

 

While they are "illegal" in most places most police departments/officers don't know the difference.

I personally have put them in 3 of my cars and had them in countless states and never had an issue, including passing inspection. This includes Massachusetts, perhaps the most strict state with any car modifications.

 

$35 is out of your price range?
I recommend keeping your stock bulbs. they are bright and get the job done

 

OK, no it's not. But from what I know about Hid, you get what you pay for; so i would buy the cheapest set. I also hear bad things, like melting, blinding other people etc... But thank you guys for your input. Much Appreciated.

 

Not really
I have used around 7-10 cheap kits from ebay over the years.
I had only 1 ballast burn out and was replaced for free from the seller.
Right now I am running cheap ebay kits in my Accord, Sidekick, and 2 motorcycles as well as 2 of my friends that I bought kits for - all of them work great.

 

I used to have a friend that once put in $3 ballasts on sale, apparently at walmart.. many years ago.. those things lasted, he moved away about a year after putting them in his car.. so, I know those things lasted at least about an year.. never heard from him after.. point is, if you is a fortunate homie, then you're good.. they'll last.. if not get xentec HIDs for like 20 bucks or 25 and you're good to go..
