High Beam Bulb Recommendations?

ScottyBoy · April 28, 2009

What high beam bulbs are you guys running? I'm looking to get as close as possible to my HID's I have in the low beams. I purchased some "7000k" Nokya 100watt bulbs, but I don't like them at all. They are a whitish/bluish color but are dim as hell. My plain yellow looking stock 55w bulbs seem brighter. So what have you guys had good or bad experiences with? Piaa? Silverstar? Pics are a big plus as well, if you have them. I'm to the point where I wanna just put HID's in the high beams, but the only thing holding me back is they take a few seconds to fully ignite. When I turn the highs on, I need them on that split second.

I`m happy with my Hella optilux bulbs, they are "off-road" only (hehe yeah right!) the low beams are 80w and highs are 100w, very similar "look" to HIDs, been asked a few times if they were, have had them in mutiple vehicles over the last 5 years and they are still going stong!

I don`t know if they seem that bright in daylight, I could get some night pics i guess if you`d like, these are slightly bluish, but certainly don`t look very blue in the pics.

I'm not so much wooried about the blue-ness of them. I'm more woried about how bright they are. I wanna burn people's retinas out!

I`ve been told they are pretty bright when i folow behind people, they are 100w.... haven`t seen any that are higher wattage, piaa`s usually claim "as bright as" 135w but they are actually 85w or somthing, they are not as blue as piaa`s and are higher wattage, I got the at Bumper to Bumper localy.

I have never been a big believer in aftermarket bulbs, but last week I rebuilt my projector headlights and I put two sets of PIAA H1 extreme white bulbs in and they are AWESOME! I didn't want to go with HID's because there weren't any quality kits out there to my liking, here's a video for you to see them. Keep in mind this is before I aimed them and drove the truck, and the truck has a 6" lift too.
