I haven't even gotten around to putting these bulbs in yet. Since I have off work Friday night...maybe I will do it then. Where is my motivation?!

 

hey alyssa.... you ever get those bulbs put in yet?

 

Me=too damn busy. STILL haven't. I will definitely let you know when I do. I just got my car back from the dealership after having my passenger side headlight replaced. Was getting condensation in it.

 

I know what ya mean when it comes to busy.... its no fun! [:'(] I haven't had any problems with condensation with my vehicle yet... lets hope it stays that way.

 

cndctrdj,

I hate when people run off-road lights on the highway. Nothing like getting blinded from behind. I usually slam my brakes on people like you. Like you said, they ARE illegal and they are that for a reason....safety for EVERYONE ELSE. Please be considerate of others on the road. It's as much for tham as it is for you.

One thing that you might want to think about. Those higher wattage bulbs are putting a huge strain on the stock wiring. It isn't uncommon for high watt bulbs to fry the wiring.

 

one question i have, what is the model number of the low beam light. I have an 06 3i and I would like to change my lights to Silverstar, bright whites.

 

I believe H1 for both the low beam AND high beam.

 

i know the bulb for my high beam light is #9005, so the low beam i think is one of the hd. on the 3 only the low beam is a projector light, the high-beam is halogen.

 

did u guys ever get the bulbs in? i would like some brighter bulbs myself.

 

I just put in a set of Luminics H1 bulbs...5,510 k...they work great. (55watts- 130 watts output) I had silverstars in my last car..a Focus...they were excellent, but burn out in one to two years. Luminics...google it...mail order free from Calif..$24 It's a bit difficult to change the bulbs..no room to work, your hands block your view. Took 30 minutes...hey I'm not a pro mechanic...just an old guy who wants to see at night...I also raised the aim point a bit- and its real good now. No one flashes at me and I don't even need the high beams!
