What Kind Of Bulbs?

[siracergrl]

What bulbs are used in the 9th? H3 or H4? I'm looking to pick up some yellow bulbs for the DRLs but I'm not sure if I need the H3 orH4. If anyone knows it would be much appreciated. If not I guess I'll take out the headlamp and figure it out.

what size are the reverse bulbs?

 

[webby]

the 8th generation civic had two different types
Coupe, 921
Sedan, 7440

if you have your manual, it should have bulb replacement info in it. I don't have a manual handy to look currently.

are you referring to oem headlight bulbs, or are you trying to put a HID kit on the car?

 

[ITSMEDAVID]

I want to put a plug n play hid kit so yea in wondering do I need a 55 watt kit or 35watt kit and is a eliminator needed for any bulb out errors.

 

[webby]

for hid kits, go with a 35 watt

Ok thanks.

Anyone just try changing the stock bulbs to something whiter?
I am thinking of going more towards 6k colour temperature. Anybody try Putco bulbs ( i.e. Ion Spark colour) and do you recommend them?
I would consider HID but my 2012 EX 5 speed sedan is a lease....

Thanks!

Anytime you have a bulb with a tint to it - like a blueish looking bulb, it will make your headlights look more like HID bulbs. The bad part, is the lifespan of those bulbs. I've never used that specific brand, but I cannot count the number of people who had similar bulbs last no more than 6-12 months.

I just installed ddm 5k 35watt and it's super white no blue tint at all I like it and barely any glare maybe just a tad not noticeable.

any pics of how it looks?

 

[ITSMEDAVID]

Not yet I'll get some but all I have is my iPhone 4s so not sure how good it will capture the light.

 

[webby]

point your car at a garage door or wall and show the beam pattern. That should help

So what hid should I get if I want a blueish tint to em? I was looking at ddm's web page.
