I recently just changed my regular fog bulbs to blue/white ones to match the HID headlights. They look really good, but the highbeams suck REALLY bad! Did anyone experience this problem and does anyone recomend a type of bulb that i should buy? (mine is PIAA xtreme white plasma)

I'm really happy with the Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. The highs are MUCH brighter than stock and the main reason that I changed the bulbs. I don't use the foglights much anyway, and if I did, I'd go with a 'yellowish' bulb.

So does that mean the SilverStar's are yellowish?

Nope, they are actually white and rated at 4000K.

 

There is no Xtreme White Plasma bulb...

I take it you used Super Xtremes or Super Plasma.

PIAA, for the H4's, the high beam filament is lighter than the low beam (or fog) filament. The reason they sacrifaced some color is for improved performance (less light is filtered) over the longer distances high beams are designed for.

 

thanks for all your help. So, do you think i should get the silverstar sylvania's? How much do they cost? Thanks again for the help

I think Silverstars cost about $25 each. And I think there is still a rebate going on...

What is the model number on those replacement bulbs, on the website look up it only lists infiniti up to 2002, and no G35. So what is the bulb that I wan to buy, if anyone knows please reply.

Once you own the best, everything else is just the rest...

 

The SilverStars are the 9003ST. From any manufacturer, they are listed as the 9003 or H-4 for the fog/high beam.

Thanks for the info, so would you recommend the 9003st only or go for the full fog/hi beam combo. What do you guys/gals think?

The 9003ST IS the fog/high beam bulb.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] It's dual filament and the reflectors for each filament change the pattern.
