How are Eurolight bulbs

[grandam]

I was just wondering if Eurolite bulbs are any good and if so how bright are they.

[ryder_23]

crap, burn out fast, your better off with oem IMO

save your money for your next car man....

I think they actually have less light output than stock. They're garbage.

I would just go to crappy tire and buy one for $4.

i bough eurolight bulbs for my car. They burnt out in about 2 months. I'd say pay the price and buy the better ones.

[grandam]

ok I use Sivania Siverstars now are those better

[ryder_23]

No, those are garbage as well. Anything with a blue tint or tint of any matter over the lense will make it die out quicker

What is a good replacment bulb than

[soupey]

^its not really teh blue tint that makes it burn out faster...its the fact that most of em are higher wattage than OEM bulbs - and above that they use the blue coating to filter out yellow light to make it appear white/blue.

they dont give as much light output as regular bulbs, the best bulbs ive used that arent HID's were made by philips.

[ryder_23]

Like said, just basic halogens. probably 7.99$ each

I got some EuroDesignz bulbs off eBay for cheap, they are tinted blue and have lasted over a year now.

clean bulb before installing helps....any oil on bulb make it burn out fast...sometimes even explodes......

Not entirely true. Silverstar bulbs are stock wattage, but they burn out fast because the blue coating sucks up so much light that Sylvania has to force more light out of the filament to at least bring the output back to stock. They do this by using filaments designed for lower than 12V, so when you feed 12V through it, it overdrives the filament, making it burn brighter, but also decreasing its life. The only Silverstars that this doesn't apply to are Silverstar sealed beams, which actually bump the wattage up to 65w, but those are crap anyways, so who cares about them.

Clear glass bulbs are the way to go: Sylvania XtraVision, GE Nighthawk, and Philips Vision Plus come to mind. Or if you tell me what size bulb you are looking for, I might be able to recommend you some more exotic bulbs.
