powerbulbs.com

one of my bulbs burnt out, so time for a new pair.

checked powerbulbs.com and they got these new power plus bulbs which are a bit cheaper but seems almost like the osram/philips bulbs in comparison according to the specs/features.

don't know if i should try out those power plus bulbs or the philips blue vision bulbs. i do want the white output than those oem yellowish bulbs. any suggestions?...anybody bought from them before?

i assume ur talkin about headlights?
for suggestions, i'd suggest doing a search you'll find more then enough information and opinons on all sorts of bulbs. . .

If your gonna pay shipment and all that it's gonna add up to a pair of probably Showoff bulbs.

Look into those

my personal preference are silverstars....

Never used philips blue vision, i remember someone posting something about those new Nighthawks...those are decently priced too, never tried those though

forgot to mention my current bulbs are showoffs. my last pair were silverstars. showoffs lasted 6 months, silverstars lasted 9 months.

i want something that will last longer and gives out the white like showoffs.

i believe shipping is free from powerbulbs.

I've ordered many times from powerbulbs... good company, quick shipping from the UK.

Buy the OSRAM Silverstars or Philips VisionPlus bulbs if you want better light. I'm running the VisionPlus on my Civic and they've lasted for 2 years so far.

If you want a "bluer" white, go for the Sylvania Silverstars sold here in North America. I've got a set on our Acura RL and they're very good... lasted about a year and 3 months so far.

Yeah, the Sylvania bulbs have a slight blue tinge to them on the glass which makes the light more blue-white.

thanks.

still deciding if i should get those blue bulbs anymore including those silverstars or blue visions cuz they tend to burn out fast due to thinner filaments.
