Gonna do two things soon: PIAA 9007s (?) and Clear corners up front.

2 questions:

1) Sticking with regular bulbs, are the PIAA 9007s the best to get? I can't afford HIDs but would like a more intense/better setup then the stock one.

2) Who makes the most quality clear corners? I had APC ones on my tbird and they constantly got condensation etc. I would rather keep the stock ones on my L then go through that kind of crap again.

Thanks

 

Personally i like the ford clears the best, i had an aftermarket rears and corners and finally went with the ford 01+ OEM's and havent had a problem in two years.

as for the lights 9007 is just the model of bulb u need for a brighter more "WHITE" light u have to increase the "K" value, the stocks are about 2000K, H.I.D.'s are 6000K

look here for piaa bulb index and K values

I would recommend the Sylvania Silverstars..........

 

APC or Crystal Eyes would be fine, just make sure you seal up the "city light" holes if you don't have city lights, and you won't get moisture.

Ford clears? Where can I pick up a set of those for a decent price?

As for the Sylvania Silverstars, what is their K value and where can I get them for a good price? I always thought the silverstars were HID but I guess they're not?

 

cyntaxx,
Don't you have clear corners stock on your '02?

 

They're still a yellow horizontal reflector on the bottom i believe. Either way they are not entirely clear like aftermarket units.

 

Note that it's illegal to have completely clear lights...

 

I know

I plan on swapping them for offroad/show use only.

 

I would go with the Silverstars from Sylvania. I believe they are 4200k. I have them both in my headlights and driving lights. I know Advance Auto Parts stock them and so does Fairfax Auto Parts where I work, but that doesnt help you if you dont live in No. Va. The Siver Stars kick much ***

 

silverstars

4000K - according to this - standard halogens are 3200K

where's the cheapest I can find the Silverstars at? I think I'm going to go with those...

Also, do they make a matching fog setup? I heard they did but couldn't find it online.

Thanks for all the help.

Also how hard is the install? I know in my tbird taking the entire headlight housing out took 5 minutes total time. 3 -4 bolts and slide it out. Then simply twist and unplug. Haven't looked at our trucks' ones yet but I've heard the driver's side is a lot more involved?

 

You can save yourself a lot of cash and purchase your 9007's off ebay. I prefer the Nokya Artic Blues or Purple. I put them in my fogs to match my HIDs and they match perfectly.. Only $24

 

I think I'm sticking with the Silverstar's for the headlights. Are the Nokya Arctic Blues/Purple you're speaking of Fogs or headlights? 24 doesn't sound bad at all.

The silverstar 9007 headlights are 25 or so a pop.

 

heres a $10 mail in rebate if you buy 2 silverstars.. i just put my silverstars in today.. about to go test them out now..
