I blew one of my white/blueish globes in my driving lights not sure what brand they are as they came with the car.

and they arn't the standard ones.

so I need to get a new set.

anyone know of a good brand to go with (phillips) or a model number.

any info would be awsome.

also any good places to get them from?

:):)

Um im not sure what that other poster is on about but philips look pretty white to me.

Im using Raybrig's but theyre a little hard to get over here. Phillips are just as good and you get them from Autobarn. They are the blue tinted glass to achieve the white look and are overpriced but thats what you get i guess.

My brother has Philips Diamondvisions on his Lancer and they are pure white. They are expensive but he bought them when Autobarn had their occasional 20% off sale.

As for Raybrigs, a SAU sponsor sells them:

They are cheaper than the high end Philips bulbs.

i run Narva +50%'s, and they're excellent, and bloody good prices too

I agree with Azzura, the Plus 50 variety, particularly for high-beam and driving light applications are the way to go.

You will need to know your bulb type.

Great visibility, pretty good quality. Definately better than the Philips/Narva crap out there.

Unless MTEC bulbs bear an E mark, hence ADR compatibility with 51, I'd not touch them, if they do,- then fine.

I'm think polarg now....i was in the market for phillips diamond vision but they are quite blue and are meant to hinder your vision at night.

They are not blue at all.

Pure white.

Which Raybrig globes do you use?? I'm currently using Philips Vision Plus. They improved vision greatly but aren't nice and white like I wanted. I was wondering how the Raybrig's compare brightness wise to standard globes? Better or worse?

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
