Also, what color will match the factory low beams? habbie 09-08-2007, 02:07 PM What is the wattage of the factory bulb and can I bump it up with the H7? Also, what color will match the factory low beams? 55w. we have some halogen color match bulbs which are close as far as looks for $30 a set, otherwise hid are the only thing that match hid's perfectly. hiyabrad 09-08-2007, 05:15 PM Will a Piaa H7 bulb, or your color match bulbs be brighter than the factory bulbs? hiyabrad 09-08-2007, 05:25 PM And what should I do for the H3 fog lights? Will I get more brightness from a new H3 like a Piaa? hiyabrad 09-10-2007, 01:09 AM Last question, the low beams are on as daytime running lights, is that okay with the new H7's? habbie 09-10-2007, 01:40 AM Will a Piaa H7 bulb, or your color match bulbs be brighter than the factory bulbs? mine will not, they are color match bulbs made more for looks then output, they will be on par or a bit better then stock but dont expect miracles. And what should I do for the H3 fog lights? Will I get more brightness from a new H3 like a Piaa? we have hid kits for the fogs, only hids will match hids perfectly. Last question, the low beams are on as daytime running lights, is that okay with the new H7's? you have factory xenon, right? since the highs are independent then the low's they will be fine. hiyabrad 09-10-2007, 12:47 PM You have factory xenon, right? since the highs are independent then the low's they will be fine. Yes, I have factory xenons. But the lows are on all the time during the day, so that will not make any diff in terms of longevity for the low bulbs? habbie 09-10-2007, 12:52 PM You have factory xenon, right? since the highs are independent then the low's they will be fine. Yes, I have factory xenons. But the lows are on all the time during the day, so that will not make any diff in terms of longevity for the low bulbs? it hasn't in 4 years.. technically hids would last forever if left on, its the turning on and off that kills them. you may be able to have the stealer disable that "feature". |
