Bulbs

[sacrificet]

My friend recommended that I get these bulbs

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ce/Silverstar/

I had two questions. 1) has anyone used them here? 2) is it hard to replace your headlamps? Alternatively, is there anything I should watch out for?

On what basis are they recommended? There are much better lights out there. Look at some of the European lamps with a +50 efficacy. Look at Hoen bulbs. Do some good web searching before deciding on what to purchase.

Speaking of bulbs, I have question too. I just picked up my Rabbit so I'm new to this, so bear with me.

I've seen these bulbs which I'm interested in picking up, but I'm not sure what the difference between the H1, H3, H4, and H7 bulbs are. Which one should I be getting if I"m going to replace my daytime running light/main headlight bulb?

From what I can gather, I should be going with the H7 bulb. Can anyone confirm?

low/ and high beam are H7 (the low beam is the daytime running lamp)

yea h7s are what you need, but ordering only bulbs from tmtuning isnt really advisable, since their a company overseas...

DRLs aren't lowbeams. They are a different bulb altogether. 3 sets total.

I just finished writing this up if it helps

Do you know if stage II will work on the stock wiring harness?

Your car is from overseas.

I order from them frequently. No problem.

Depends on what you are getting I guess. I have ordered stuff that I didn't need painted and got it within 10-14 days or so. Not bad coming from Germany. BUT, when I ordered my grill it took over a month....but it did go in for paint.

Is there a DIY anywhere on replacing the bulb? I'm an amateur when it comes down to this stuff, so please bear with me

*just saw the other post.. nevermind.. but does anyone have pictures?
