get hids...best lighting u can get for your 6gc

[6gsillyca]

for HID's to work properly, don't you need projector housings, so it doesn't give off mad amounts of glare, because the stock is frosted/cut/angled?

[nightrider67]

i got pro 1 top speed hid blue headlights in mine there pretty blue. there not real bright but they look good. they cost me 20 even at the local import shop for the low beams i dident buy the brights cause the lows arent as bright and the only time i use them is for highway and i like being able to see far away.

Mine are blue-ish, as you can see in the pic below. Bought these at a Circuit City or something out of necessity for about $14~, the second pic shows you what the box looks like in case you want to find a pair.
I really like them though, they're just a better looking bulb to me than a plain yellowish looking bulb from off the shelf.....plus they take to photos nicely. If you want bright, HID is the way to go.

i running the exact headlights as SILVER94CELICAOWNER. heres what mine look like

[Hanyo]

i gave up the whole headlight thing.

I use to want blue head lights, and then i wanted the silver stars.

But i found out that yellow is best visablity for our eyes. So stock headlights are the best for night driving.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Yea, yellow really is the best color visability-wise. However those Nokya bulbs like pandakid and I have are pretty bright and clear, I love them.

[pandakid]

yea they do suck at night but they look nice.

[lazarpaul]

i've got the same nokia bulbs.......i think they do a little better than stock at nighttime......plus the light has a "cleaner" look

[devilsden97]

my sig says it all. (picture is worth a thousand words) Silverstars, low and high (normally white, but on this particular night they were blue)

[6gsillyca]

if you run bulbs that have higher wattages than stock (65watts) doesnt it melt the harness? it looks to me like the nokya's run at 100W...

can someone please clarify/correct me please

[Supersprynt]

Running high wattage bulbs are a bad idea.

Bulbs that have a blue tint are not only illegal, they have TERRIBLE visibility.

[chacha]

I was thinking about getting the higher Tempts... such as the 30000K HID XENON...usually for show cars, but i want the strongest lights out there...is it illegal to have show lights...I also like that dark birght purplish color...i know that at 12000K, you get that bluish purple glow and see well enough, but me personally, i like the 30000K HID lights...more intense and brighter...

[DeW_H0e_GT]

yup higher powered bulbs will burn your harness away like heat w/butter....

[Supersprynt]

30,000?! Are you out of your mind?!

Its not brighter per say, its just hotter, and your visibility decreases. OEM HID equipped cars come at 3k-5k. 30K is just fuggin ridiculous.

I have a 8k and its got a purple tint. I would not recommend 30k, I almost fell outta my chair.

[easternpiro1]

yup higher powered bulbs will burn your harness away like heat w/butter....

^^^^i agree. mine burned both my low beams out, and then one of my hi's went out, i was running on ONE HEADLIGHT (imagine how that looked) and toyota tried to charge an assload for a new harness. i bought another harness, from an audio electric store never put it in though.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I dunno, I seem to have perfectly fine visibility with my Nokyas. The higher wattage concerned me a little bit af first because I knew stock was like 65w, but figured what the hell.

No melting at all though, and I've had them on for many months now....if they were then I would've ripped them out by now.
