ok, so screw the hid idea then. i just want decent lighting. maglites are damn sweet though, work awesome when theres no street lights like in the dundas area :lol:. so i guess right now, its hella vs bosch? if price was not a concern, which lights would you choose? i am assuming hella, but if you can give me some valid points about the bosch, other than price to light output ratio, i’d be willing to listen. thanks.

Tony240 has those installed on his car. I saw them when I picked up my headlights from him, and was wondering about them myself.

Dumbass. Have you ever seen Bosch H4’s in a S13… Didn’t think so…  
for $89.99 they are by far the best bang for the buck…  
As for fog. Doesn’t really matter what headlights, they all suck shit in fog.  
Either buy fog lights or keep crying.[/quote]

hey brandon, watch your f_cking mouth. who the f_ck do you think you are? And look at what I said… I said “I think”, I never said that I KNEW what kind it was and I never said how much I KNEW it cost either.

not that i dont want to disagree with you sasha, but what makes the bosch one better than the hella? from everything i’ve read so far, diamond cut/laser cut lenses disperses light better than the bosch type lenses.
