Best headlight bulbs that look nice?
Just looking for good 9007 headlight bulbs for the Lancer, with an ice blue-ish white-ish color. Very bright ones that look like HID lights.
I just want to know from peoples experiences, because everytime i bought headlight bulbs, they look amazing on the pictures they show but you get the lights and they look terrible. Or they start to die down after a month.
Any help is appreciated.

to me nothing beats Nokya Bulbs, you get what you pay for, and you can buy them thru your Big box store thru a Keystone special order. I get mine from Canadian Tire for about 30 bucks and they last about 2 years. I buy the Nokya 2500k Yellows. But some here in our local car club use the Arctic Whites or Cosmic whites. they are stunning

^^^ not unless you upgrade the wiring harness to a thicker gauge. I had some PIAA bulbs in my evo non hid and everyone i saw asked me how i liked having hids. lol Now i have hids and ill never go back though. I do run the nokya 2500k bulbs for my fogs and they are great!

the problem with the blueish white bulbs is that they may look good but there light output is really terrible. I run SilverStar Ultras and the light output is great. That or HIDs are the way to go.

everyone can disagree with this, but to me you cant beat 2500k light, sure the Nokya yellows are a halogen bulb. But so far nothing I have seen has matched the reflectivity and the range of these bulbs, beats some HID in a long distance spotting show down. If I could find an HID system with yellow bulbs, I would make the switch.

That is the reasons cop will stop you and issue you a ticket, since these are not DOT approved and throw off less light. Then these bulb manufacturers tried to solve the problem by making the filament thinner so it throws out more light, this is why they burn so fast when you hit a little bump on the road, plus the color temperature is all wrong making you almost invisble in rain and snow !

There are tons of HID kits with 2500k color. The problem is the same as you start to go blueish/purplish, they are not legal. Maybe in your state, but I doubt it. The law in Maine reads that your headlight must emit a white light.
