Alright i just bought some nokya bulbs, these are the specs

8500k Nokya Arctic purple pro halogen
Stage 2
>>> 100|120W


Now can anyone tell me if theres anything i need to know before installing these?
i just recently bought a KYO plug and play harness for these which im still waiting on before i throw on the bulbs.
But can someone tell me the pro's and con's of these? anything i need to know?

maybe how bright they will be, anything would help

thanx

 

Well, as long as you have the upgraded harness and the "power box" for them...I think you have everything you'll need. Pretty simple plug-and-play upgrade!

Enjoy!

 

power box? whats that

 

stage 2, they should be bright. i have the nokya stage 1 hyper yellow on my car and its pretty bright so enjoy!
you dont have to take the headlights out to install. try not to touch the bulbs w/ your fingers.

 

Not sure how the increased wattage will work even with the "upgraded harnesses", I've heard of a lot of people melting their harnesses using these kind of bulbs.

 

What would be the benefit of doing what you're doing, as opposed to buying a $98 ebay HID kit?

 

You don't need ballasts.

 

Uh, I must have mis-read his post...I thought these were HIDs. And duh...ballasts is the word I was looking for. Too much BBQ smoke gone to my head! LOL

 

Like someone said the main thing is don't touch the bulbs with your bare fingers cus that really shortens the life of those bulbs. Also good luck with the new harness... i've heard alot of ppl melting their stock harnesses so idk how much difference the new one makes. Try to put water your your driveway or something or go to a wet street at night and see how much light you actually see on the road cus those bulbs suck when there's water or snow on the roads

 

i used to have these... until one day one just blew out.. they are really good and bright at night but when its raining and its night you cant see anything , looks like if they were off.

 

Nokya makes great bulbs for the price.
Can't beat 20 bucks.

 

cough cough, lol installed these already with my first posts in late July early Aug.





anyways I highly recommend them if your looking for HID look, out of all the brands i have installed, they come the closest. They come with a One year warranty and cost about 25 bucks canadian. As for how long they last your looking at a year and half before I got blow outs with the Yellow bulbs. I assume it will be similar to these bulbs as well. Expect the mto last longer if you live in the southern USA (if there are no cold seasons) then you will be fine.

As for my personal preference, I still perfer NOKYA yellow bulbs over all else for the sake that they project light further against reflective surfaces.

 

Its basically to guard against melting of the plastic around the bulb/ harness link. And also a melting of wires associated with the heat. A guy in the RSX club did a nice job fusing his harness and wires lol and shorting everything out hehehe

Difference is with 98 dollar kit, if you get the wrong kit and you harm your electricals you can potentially void your warranty pretaining to what gets damaged. Have you see what the wires look like under the hood, its a frigging hack job if anything goes wrong

 

thanx for the all the help guys, i appreciate it !

 

I have the arctic blues and I blew out 3 sets of bulbs within a few months...It really didnt matter to me though, becuse the guy I bought them from gave me a lifetime guarentee, but I bought the harness now and we will see if that stops them from burning out maybe.

I love the blues they looks good at night, and I can see pretty good, but like stated before, in the rain at night, they arent to great. At least from a drivers perspective
