Raybrig Whitesonic S Headlight Bulbs

[S1LV3RTRACKS]

One of my headlight bulbs (low beam) blew the other day in my R33. I've been looking around for some nice globes and have searched the forums and have read many threads about various brands.

I am after whitish/bluish bulbs that are brighter than stock. I came across some Raybrig bulbs which some are using here with good results. I'm not after HIDs.

The set I am looking at are the Raybrig Whitesonic S 4900K bulbs and from what I can see is the nice white colour I am after. I found those bulbs listed on this page.

Seeing as I have a R33 (series 2 headlights I should add) with polycarbonate lenses, will these globes be ok and not melt or deform my lights or wiring? They are rated at 12v/55w but the light output is around 95w. I think these are halogen, please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, I've heard some globes when they blow, they can explode and take the headlight with them. Is this true?

In my search I have also come across recommendations for Phillips chromium white 4200k and Philips Crystal Vision.

The bottom line is from what I have seen I like the Raybrig Whitesonics but I am not sure if they will be safe for polycarbonate headlights. Any info I can get would be great.

BAHAHAHA

I've changed many, many, many head light globes (Apprentice Mechanic) and I've NEVER seen or heard of one exploding! Lol. Most of the time you cant even tell they're broken just by looking at them! Hahaha

Good to know! I was told some types of globes i.e. xenon can do this. I know some globes are capable of exploding so I thought ill ask

I just received a reply from Raybrig confirming that the Whitesonic S bulbs will not melt/damage polycarbonate headlights in any way. The bulbs are rated at the standard 12v/55w (H1 type) so I can't see any wiring or switches melting. Should be just plug and play.

Has anyone had any experience with these bulbs?
