I am debating between the Stage I and Stage II versions of the Nokya H7 Arctic White bulbs. One of mine blew and I'm trying to match the stage it was before. It's somewhat deceiving because my bulbs are more than 2 years old and since then they might have released Stage II (not sure). The only differences between Stage I and II is the wattage displayed on the outside of the box and possibly the color of the tip. Stage I has a blue painted tip and the box says 70W output and Stage II has a silver painted tip and the box says 100W output. But I pulled my bulb out and it has a silver painted tip with 70W imprinted on the bottom. So I'm confused...is the 70W the draw or the output? and does the color of the tip affect the output color or is it just to blend in with the reflector?

I just want to get exactly what I had before and I know they are Nokya Arctic Whites. If the box displays the actual wattage, I'm pretty sure they are stage I since they say 70W on the bottom, it's just the silver tip that throws me off. Here are examples of both stages off eBay.

Yup HID
None of the halogen bulb can compete with HID.
Save your money and get HID...

i had stage one bulbs for a while and there are not as bright as stocks.... but they are clear white light... and have a blue shimmer when you look at your car from far away... they last a lil over a year...

i got them at a local shop for $15... it was nice to have but i wish they were brighter and lasted longer

I would love to get HIDs but at the moment I only have one headlight bulb working and I need a quick match.

Well the seller of the Stage II's on eBay got back to me and said that imprinted on the base of the bulbs is '70W' I'm still waiting on the seller of the Stage I's to check the base on the bulbs. If they say anything other than '70W' then I definitely had Stage II's.
