Yep, those are the ones I was looking at......I wonder how simota1 snagged 12000K headlights, tho.....or where, for that matter. Twice as bright as whats listed in the link above, I assume?

red car with white/blue tint headlights = ???

nogoodname · 09-10-2009, 11:57 AM

well, anyways... it's a PITA to change the head light bulbs for both cars
so we have something in common with head light bulbs

i asked him, apparently he got them off of ebay

phelan · 09-10-2009, 11:58 AM

what's the stock one anyway?

XwChriswX · 09-10-2009, 11:58 AM

Ugh... I hate my job.

nogoodname · 09-10-2009, 11:59 AM

stock = 4300K
mine will be = 6000K with blue tint
real blue'ish = 8000K
stupid = 10000K
redonkulous = 12000K

6000K is optimal for viewing the roads... any higher... you will lose visibility but will be more blue

note, blue has the short wavelength

12000k is temperature, not lumen output, it's actually dimmer than stock.

4300-6000k is the best for light output, I got my 6000k bulbs from theretrofitsource.com and they are mirimoto bulbs and VERY high quality for $50

2theextreme · 09-10-2009, 12:03 PM

Guessing these would work?

Thats what I need....redonkulous headlights!

Caravanshaka · 09-10-2009, 12:04 PM

any D2s bulb will work, but you want to go with a high quality bulb, phillips are the best but they come at a hefty price. The mirimoto ones have been great for me so far.
