[dadinho_nfg]

hey guys, i finally got my 2006 black mica sport gt m3.....and was wondering who has aftermarket bulbs....
my buddy has real HID which i think are to much for brightness and such, and i was only looking to buy better bulbs....i was looking for a white finish for the day time likes and a yellow blub for the fogs....
if anyone has suggestions that would be great
thanks :)

are you saying you don't want HID's?

Welcome to TM3!

For the whitest halogen bulbs (which is standard) you can look at Silverstar Ultra. They are the brightest and most whitest halogen bulbs on the market today. Unfortunately, the downside is that your looking at $55.00 price tag. Their longevity is shorter than a normal halogen bulb.

Take a look at this chart to give you an idea:

But no matter what, in comparison to HID any of these bulbs will look yellow as they don't reach any higher temps than 4100k (as advertised on their site)

As for yellow bulbs, you can pick them up at one of our sponsors here or take a trip down to Pacific Mall. But I would recommend just getting a yellow tinted overlay.

mleblond sells Lamin-X overlays which are extremely easy to apply. Send him a PM and I'm sure he will be willing to help.

im thinking im gonna buy a set of ultras and lamin x covers for the fog....
last question would be, how will the lamin x effect the light output from the fog light?

I havnt had any problems with the ones we sell. I have heard about the stories about melting housing but I personally have never had a problem with them.

I have lots of Euro lights instock, but if you guys are really picky, I recommend getting Mtech bulbs or Piaa bulbs, those are the best ones to use.a but its a little more $$

[dadinho_nfg]

are those lights whiter/brighter or are they still yellow?
