Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Xenon HID SuperWhite Light Bulbs anyone?

did anyone use Xenon HID SuperWhite Light Bulbs on your contour,is it much better than the stock one?

There are many opinions on this, here's mine.

If you cannot see well, get your headlights re-aimed or polish them.

High wattage bulbs work for a while, but they eventually tend to burn up the wiring and haze the inside of the headlight lens.

Silver Stars rocks. I'm actually running Cuzos in my high and low beams. Just pretty blue lights that suck balls in the rain. But theyre pretty.

I got a set of the "Xenon SuperWhite" bulbs. I believe they were the Koba brand. I went with the stock wattage to avoid any possible wire damage.

From the outside of the car they do look cool, but there is one word to describe their performance--SUCKS. Either stick with stock bulbs, or take the risk and get the higher wattage "xenons."

By the way, I have no experience with silverstars or any name brand whites, but I hear they suck in the rain.

I am using Blues in my car.. they work awesome and look so cool at night,, Problem is I get alot of high beam flashers because other drivers think they are high beams>>

I think he was referring to the "Super-HID-Xenon-Million Watts-Performance" light bulbs a.k.a. regular bulbs tinted blue. If you want increased visibility, go with Silverstars (roughly $40 a pair) or the true HID conversion as listed above($400-$500). Or if all you're looking to do is look cool, put the "Super Duper Xenon Mega Wattage" bulbs in for about $10-$15. They actually decrease visibility, but they sure do look cool.

in my last car i had 80 watt low and 120 watt high and hd no wire problems or any electrical problems. im sure a 98 contour has a electrical as good as a 86 toyota mr2. or does it????

I love my siverstars...
