Nokya bulbs aren't that bad either. my bro's accord is using Nokya 9005 and 9006's. the same bulbs as the ES. and the color is still very white. it's much clearer, and quite a bit cheaper. i have sylvania hyper white bulbs in my high beams for some reason. i never bought them. the guy that fixed my car last time sorta put 'em in. so i'm happy with my high's, but mad about my low's. need to fix my low's and fog's. they're aimed wierd.

yah how do we adjust the low's. Here's a pic of Sylvania COOL BLUES in the left, and Hipers on the right, I want to aim the bulb higher to match the cool blue's displacement cuz all these Xenons just don't provide enough light.

-nokya's are good too. at most shops they go for around $40, ebay has them in the $20 range for set of 2 bulbs.

i'll show you a pic of my low's and fog's tonight. they look so off... they're like completely off balance. and my right housing isn't put in right. if i push it in so it's in the correct spot, my light goes DOWN like 2 inches. so my housing looks wierd.

when you adjust the aim, you are adjusting both the highs and lows. the bolt that has the clear plastic (probably broken) measuring tool on it, allows you to aim the lights left and right. The long bolt that sticks out really far and is way below that one (near the bottom of the brights) is the one that adjusts height. Use your leveling bubble to help with the vertical aiming

You probably shouldn't do that, it'll probably cause alot more glare to other driver's.

that's true, but the bulb is aimed too low, something is wrong. I just want to bring it to a decent level that allows me to see.
