Default Plasma HID HI/Low Beams

They have HID high/low(9006 & 9005) beams for sales. It is just like plus and play for installation.

I know it is only $16.00 so the result wouldn't be great. But is it worth to try since it is so cheap.

Is the HI Beam (9006) for the head light and the Low Beam(9005) for the day time running light? Thank you.

9006 - Lowbeam
9005 - Highbeam

There's a lamp replacement guide in the RX 300 FAQ.

Yup, take Daddy-O's advice and do a little searchin on this topic - there's plenty to be found... Also, these are LOOKALIKES, not real HID... Be careful of the wattage of these bulbs (not sure what it is because I can't get to ebay from work)... If it's too much higher than standard, it could be bad news....

If you want the lookalikes, the RAZO premium white zeros are the way to go - I have them and they're the most HID looking, and they are nice and bright for halogens... Plus they are actually a quality bulb that isn't going to burn out or bust in your headlight housing.

I got 'em here:

Did you mean to link to this?

Your link points to the premium whites, not the premium white zeroes

Is RAZO really a good quality, 'coz i've tried some bulb out
there but it doesn't satisfied me. Headlamps are white if you stand in front of the car, but the penetration on the ground is not
bright

I just meant I bought them at Options Auto Salon - the ones I got (and the better ones supposedly) are the premium white ZEROS - didn't mean to link to the other one, but the ZEROS can be found on the same site - just look around a little.

I'm happy with the ZEROS - much better than the APC "HID Lookalikes" I tried first. Is it HID? Quite simply, no... don't kid yourself. But like I said, it looks very similar colorwise, these are the brightest halogens I've found, and the amount of light on the street is as good as OEM (but the color is better). My suggestion if you want better looking and functioning lights would be to get the Razo ZEROS for the low beams, and put some PIAA ion yellow in the foggies - if you're not satisfied w/ that combo, you'd better just save your pennies and get HIDs.

Razo is a known company and they are reliable. You cant go wrong with them as likes of Polarg/Raybrig/Piaa.

Those Razo's are BRIGHT and WHITE if you looking at it, but i'm pretty sure the light output on the ground is not as great as stock and Postively not as bright as HIDS .

My Piaas in my accord are BRIGHT when you look at it, but the light output that it displays on the ground is Horrible! I can bearly see anything. When i drive next to some stock halogens, they have more light output then i do.

Spin - my light output w/ the RAZO ZEROs seems as good as any stock halogens I'm next to... I think the type of headlight/lens setup in the RX helps the look and road visibility a ton w/ fake HID bulbs - they are far closer to HID both looks and performance wise compared to on other cars I see fakes on... but you're certainly right about there being no comparison to HID.

Spin - a question for you... I'm gonna PM you since I don't know if you'll visit this thread again.
