Luminics bulbs seem dim

Zatrekaz · July 14th, 2009, 01:42 PM

So, was driving for the first time with my Luminics bulbs after getting rid of my HIDs. The lights seemed dim for some reason. It was a little foggy so that affected it some.

However, the lights just seemed really dim. They were white, but all the stock headlights on the road lit it up way better... any idea what might be goin on?

Yeah those bulbs, IMO, suck.

Well, I have to drive 30 miles at night later so I will try them out some more then. If I end up sending these things back to AM, what bulbs would you suggest for a non-yellow light other than HIDs.

I have bad luck with HIDs... every kit I get something goes wrong with it and no I am not installing it wrong Lol.

I put some Luminics in my new Halo headlights and theyre great. I havent had any problems with them being dim.

Sylvania SilverStars are what I'm planning on running (I just ordered new headlights like 10 minutes ago

)

Id say SS Ultras are probably your best bet for white and bright for homogen lights.

ive got the napa brand white bulbs and they arent bad, better then the stockers by a bit

Well, plans fell through and I did not go out tonight so gonna keep em a bit longer. Waitting for a night time trip on a non-foggy night to test em.

I realigned em a bit. When I first drove they were to high, then I lowered them and they were to low, so I raised em and I THINK I have them where I want them.

Time will tell....
