Headlights: Other than HID lamps, is there another 'bright' bulb option?

[Cavman]

I just installed a set of HID units from DDM Tuning. Check them out. The cost?
$40 for the set.
Funny, it took two days to be drop shipped from China to NY, then almost two weeks to get to me. Those customs people are so much fun.
I have two sets in my Tundra for both the headlights and fog lights. I'm not paying $400 for HIDs.

I got the 35 watt units at 6000 Kelvin. That way they are a little more than white, just a slightly blue tinge.

Being "Night-Blind" :shocked:, I am always looking for a way to throw some more lumens downrange...
Thanks for all of this info! :thumbup: Now I just have to get it all straight in my head... pps:

I installed the HIDs on my RT. In a year and a half I have replaced a ballast and a lamp. I went with Ebay $40 sets. Ended up buying two sets. The lighting itself is great. I bought the 6000k. Not quite into the blue spectrum.

We have had some pretty good feedback from customers that have installed the Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs. These bulbs are made in Germany and are DOT compliant. I am not saying that they will be as bright as an HID upgrade however the feedback has been very good considering this bulb is rated at the same wattage as stock.

I will hit you up next time (wife might want to replace hers, plus she's looking into fog lights).:thumbup:

I'm sure I can get you a discounted price in exchange for your time =) It will definitely help people that are on the fence about upgrading their headlights and/or fog lights with performance halogen bulbs.

Let me know,

Steve- do you know if these are white or blue/white. I also put LED fender lights on yesterday and now my headlights look really yellow. I don't think I'd mind a little blue since i have aqua Gloryders and plans for more blue or white lights in the future.

Thanks! My wife (Dentin028) sent you a PM today regarding some fog lights.

Cavman...

Just ordered a pair for my Turndra, too... my 4th set from DDM...

Rachel,

They will have a super white colour to them. Be careful with blue coated bulbs as typically they produce less actual light output given the blue coating.

bullant12: Awesome! I will check and reply. Thanks =)

I have head lights and fog lights and I am in the same boat. LED Halos around them, LEDs on the fenders, LED white Tips, and YELLOW bulbs in the fogs / mains. Makes me El Saddo. That coupled with getting white LEDs for the arms out to the wheels like the OP, I would like to get some white love in the 4 "factory" slots so I dont look all "Jacked up on Mt. Dew".

What no matching H8 fog light bulbs?

Neutron12:

Are you referring to getting an H8 HID kit?

We have had some pretty good feedback from customers that have installed the Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs.

I can attest to that. I put one of those in my wife's Vulcan to replace the dim, yellow looking original bulb. What a difference. Bright/white light. After 10,000 Km it was still like new when she traded in the Vulcan on her Spyder. We're adding a pair to the Spyder.

We just had a customer post a video of the difference between using his stock high beam halogen bulbs and the Osram Night Breaker Plus bulbs. Take a look:

No, I only wanted the Osram Nightbreaker Plus H7 headlight bulbs. But they do not have matching H8 fog light bulbs?

 

[XenonDepot]

If you are looking for something similar to the Osram bulb that is available in H7 and H8 I would suggest looking at the Putco Night White halogen bulb.

Steve

 

[Neutron12]

I will check them out. Thanks Steve

Do you happen to know which color bulb would be a similar match to the Osram? I'm also trying to match my led lights from Tricleds. So im looking for a white light not a blue or purple. They have an Ion Spark White, Mirror White, or a Night White.

 

[XenonDepot]

Hey,

I would definitely go with the "Night White" colour to best match the Osram bulbs.

Thank you for the help Steve. Ordering now.

Sweet! Hopefully you can post up some feedback once you get everything installed so that other members that are interested in this upgrade can get some more "unbiased" feedback =)
