Whats a good cool cheap white bulb?

Just like the thread reads. I have a light out and I want to replace it with somthing cool and white. Does it work by just getting a bulb? Thanks

well i know they're $$ but i suggest silverstars, i don't like the other brands that are "hyper white" and ish cause i find that they tend to burn out faster. My Silverstars lasted for over 2 years, until they both freakishly blew on the same day.. luckily i left my spare bulbs in the trunk... I suggest silverstars, worth the money, and you honestly won't be dissapointed.

What kind of question are you asking?

You don't own an evo...

Ok, sorry if this is gonna sound like a stupid question but i have no clue on anything to do with the light set ups on the RA.... So will those silverstar lights just plug right into our current stock set up, or would we need to do some sort of modification?

RPRalliart04, 9007 Silverstars will fit directly in your headlight housings, no modification necessary.

Hellview, some people have said that about them, while others (myself included) have never been less than happy with them. I've run them in my RA since it was almost new. I had a set in my previous car for a couple years.

I bought my first set of Silverstars USED from someone on here. Got over a year out of them before one burned out. The set that's in the car now (bought new) have so far lasted another year with no problem.

I have the SilverStar Ultras in my Evo. Way better than OEM. In the past I have used the SilverStar in my Focus and Impala SS, and my brother uses them in his Z28.

Silverstars are bright, but they aren't really white/blue. They are whiter than stock but still clearly yellow. Get MTEC cosmos blue from eBay. They're about $40 shipped.

They're plenty white enough for me. I don't want blue.

My Silverstars 9007 die on me last week (after almost one year of use). I now got a pair of the new Silverstars Ultra. They are pricey...regular cost is $53.48 down here in PR. Got them on sale for $39.48 + $2.76 tax. They do look a lot better that the regular Silverstars.

High
