are these any good?
Xenon White 9005 100W Twin Bulb Pack($39 onsale(for 2 bulbs))
and will they work. I either want a hyper white bulbs or a lil blue color. but one day i will get teh HID Kit but not now
another question would it be posible to get like hyper white for low beams and HID (want a be's) for high beams? it would be a cool thing but point less. lol
list some bulbs, color tint and spec. or something.
thanks
No... 100W is wayyyy too much. It'll fry your harness..
I've got Philips VisionPlus and I have been completely satisfied. Check out www.powerbulbs.com... I would either go with the VisionPlus or the BlueVision bulbs :)

Actually that 80w --> 100w stuff is marketing BS. There is no way for 80 watts of power to put out 100 watts worth of light. Not gunna happen.. there are numerous tests floating around.. do a google search.. im too tired n lazy to look now. ;)

9005 is 65 watts.
Try Sylvania Silverstars. FOr the US market, they are blue tinted also.
www.powerbulbs.com carries the H7 bulbs of VisionPLus and Silverstars (no blue tint in Europe spec)

so are Philips Vision Plus H7 the ones that will work and give a sort-of blue tint and still a hyperwhite affect? and these are for low-beams right? so i buy any for high beams or just keep them stock?
thanks

Mine are 100 watt and are fine... I've had them for 9 months at least... they are hyper HID (wannabe) brand... they look real good too.

From what I've heard the vision plus are a little bit whiter than stock.. and definitely brighter than stock bulbs. But judging by what you said I don't think these are the bulbs you are looking for.. the Phillips Bluevision should give you more blue tint/hyperwhite effect.
If I were you, I'd leave the high beams stock. If you put a blue bulb in there you are only gunna decrease the light output. I mean, people put blue bulbs in their low beam lights for looks, nothing more. Having that look comes at a cost.. less light on the road (unless u get real HID of course). So then what's the point of getting the high beam blue bulbs? Who cares if it matches.. its not like you drive around with your high beams on. Let the stock high beams do their job :)

hmm i just changed my stock bulbs to the Nokya brand ones.. both high beam and low beam costs $50 (discounted). they have the blue tint also, and they are looking really bright at night. its a good brand to get IMO if the Phillips ones cost too much for you...

piaa xtreme white
Go with VisionPlus or BlueVision... by Philips
I've got VisionPlus and am totally satisfied with them. The
BlueVision's are going to be a little whiter but less bright..
either way you'll be happy. :) I got mine from www.powerbulbs.com

There's no such thing.. UNLESS you run a higher wattage.. but then you run the risk of burning out expensive harnesses. ANY bulb that has a blue coating reduces light output regardless of what it says on the box. And yes, this includes Piaa Extreme Whites.
