Just wanted to know which 9006 low beam bulbs were the best, i have used nokya bulbs with stage 2 wiring harness and it lasted me two years, but now the bulbs and wires are burned and messed up, so i just got regular oem quality wiring harness and now just have to buy bulbs but not quite sure which ones to get. Help me decide.

I would suggest a pair of 9012 HIR bulbs.

just read up on them, very intresting, i wonder how they compare to the phillips x-treme, i have 4300k hid's in my other civic and i like the philips x-treme more.

They should perform significantly better than the X-treme Powers, but keep in mind that it's not a direct comparison since the X-treme Powers are only currently available in H7 and H4 applications, not the 9006 being discussed here.

perhaps im being retarted but i though the 9006 was a crossrefrence to the h4, i must be thinking of some other 900x?

edit: yeah i was thinking of 9003 sorry.

where can i buy philip xtemes?? the 9012 are to expensive, theyre $50 for a pair.

Padawan · 08-22-2007, 11:11 AM

Philips X-treme is not available in 9006, and the pricing for those bulbs ranges from $40-$50 anyway.

$50 per pair is not much to pay for greatly improved lighting performance.

i heard you have to do some modifications to the HIR bulbs, what is that?? and i went to advance auto parts today and they had Sylvania Ultra Night Vision bulbs for $50 and they had some Hella Bulbs for $45, they both were 12v and 55W and that the same as oem, so should they be good??

Neither will perform nearly as well as the HIR, so if you're going to be spending the money, I'd suggest picking up a pair of 9012 HIR's instead.

HIDs are cheap, why not just upgrade or keep them stock?
