Default Do Bright White High Beam Bulbs Exist 9005??

I've bought silverstars, PIAAs and still they are yellow compared to my 6000k hid kit. Not even close to white or bright white they are all yellow.

Even though the bulbs are tinted blue.

Any ideas on where I can buy some real bright white bulbs that give good lighting too?

^naw, it wouldn't be that since the cover for the high beams for 96 are made out of glass. So no oxidation there.

I'm thinking its that your high beams look yellow because of your HID kit. As in, since your HID's have a blue tint to them, it makes your high beams look more yellow. Try disconnecting your lows and look at your high beams, do you see a difference with just them on?

I have a feeling if you put deep yellow low beams, your highs would look blue. It's all relative and how the way your eyes perceive color.

My 2 cents I could be wrong though

Dude I just bought these bulbs but in 2500k yellow by the same guy and they straight up suck. The 5 year old 60 Watt sylvania's that I had in there were brighter then these I got. Beware because on the cover they say 80 Watts but in reality the bulbs say 65W.

no matter what halogen bulb you get they will never look the same as HIDs.

sorry if one of you got these based on my suggestion

I was going for a color match of my 6000k hids which the 7000k nokya 9005s almost gave me on the highs, Im happy

I wasnt going for super bright or to help with visibility, I believe they are less bright than silverstars too they are also 15 shipped where silverstars are 40

They are def. white , tinted blue or purple though which is hard to find a halogen in a color you want
