OK, so I just installed the Luminics Titanium White H7 for my low beams, now the eyelids are a different color so which 194 bulbs will give the closest color to matching the Luminics Titanium White H7 so I can change my eyelids to match my lowbeams. Any help would be great.

I have a new set of Luminics Titanium White H7 bulbs for sale. Let me know if any of you are interested.

[QUOTE=myinternetsucks;2821036]now i wish i got the Krypton version. oh well. who needs lights to drive at night anyways?

06Benz230

Savage, why do you wish you bought the Krypton H7's now instead?

06Benz230

I don't even see the Luminics Krypton series H7 on that site.

** UPDATE ** Got the Nokya Costmic White bulbs, even though the website and outer packaging said 80w, the bulb itself says 70w.

A few pics:







...now I just have to get the eyelid color to match!

i ordered these direct from Luminics, they were $60 before shipping, i wasnt that fond of the silverstar ultras, so i wanted something new. i do like these, they work really well. the lighting output is good with a nice blu-ish/white hue to them.

heres the link: HTTP://www.luminicsusa.com/detail.as...T-H07F&Type=H7

Savage c-300

it has higher light output then the regular series and from the pictures it looks way brighter.

06Benz230

Savage, couldn't you take the H7 you have now and put them in your fog's and then buy the Luminics Krypton H7 and put those in your headlights? or would that be to much light for the front? I was thinking od doing this, just waiting to hear back from the Luminics dealer.

06Benz230

Just got off the phone with Luminics customer service and he recomended putting the H7 Titanium bulbs in the fog lights and then replacing the headlight bulb with the Krypton H7, he also said that if anyone was going to replace there eyelid bulbs(194) to get a white not blue LED for the eyelids, this way the color of the eyelids would match the headlight output color.

06Benz230

Something like this, should work well in the eyelids.

Nevermind, these will give you the bulb out error message

schvamf

I thought that someone tried using LEDs before and they got bulb out error messages?

06Benz230

schvamf, yes that is correct. I just went to a local pepboys and bought Pilot hyper white LED's and when I installed them I did get the bulb out message, so I will be returning these tonight.

I just ordered the Polarg M4's off Ebay for the eyelids, they should be a close match to the Krypton H7's from Luminics. Will post pictures soon as all the bulbs are in.

Savage c-300

yea. i think i will do that. more cash to burn! i'll just think of it as helping out the economy.

**i went ahead and orderd the Krypton series, i will be posting pictures when i get them installed so you guys can compare the Krypton vs Non Krypton.

06Benz230

I also ordered the krypton H7 bulbs, the guy at Luminics gave me $5.00 off, not that it is much but it's better than nothing.

Just installed the Luminics Titanium H7 (Low Beams & Fogs)....Like'em so far. Definitely Whiter!! Getting that clamp back on the low beam light was a SOB!!

myinternetsucks

i reinstalled the Silverstar Ultra's as my high-beams and have the Krypton's as the low beams. visibility is awesome, these two combinations work well with each other. The nice blue-ish/white hue of the Krypton's with the Ultra's white high-beam mix great and is super bright! The Ultra's are actually more whiter on the road than in the pics.




Installing the High-beams was actually easier than all the nightmare stories i i had read on here. its held in by 3 metal braket-type spring tensioners, basically 3 metal bump levers that keep tension on the lights outer housing to hold the light in its socket. i have small fingers so i pressed down on the bottom one and pulled the bulb right out. use a small flat head screw driver to press down on the smaller spring/lever to get it out if you don't have small hands, but it was super easy to do, took like 30 seconds.

ok so i got my new Krypton Series Titanium White bulbs today and installed them in my low beams and placed my regular titanium white bulbs in my fogs. visability on the Krypton series is WAY better, but the output is not as white for some reason. the light reflected on the road is brighter and a little bluish but looking at the headlight straight on, its a little more on the yellowish side compared to the regular titanium bulbs. the fogs are super white now which looks great

06Benz230

Savage, when you have your lowbeams and fogs on at the same time are the lights completly different colors? how do they look when they are on at the same time? I am getting the Krypton bulbs this week and I am doinf just what you did but I want the lights to have a similar color output.

supernsx

This is getting complicated.......

So..... should I get just the Titanium White and not the Krypton series? I am using PIAA Extreme White right now and they are definitely very yellowish and wife is very unhappy about it. I was ready to buy the Krypton until I see this post.....

Btw, I have just replaced the eyelib with Polarg M4's and their light output is so much dimmer than the original. The light is definitely a lot more blueish but totally disappear when the low beam is turned on.

So, is the Krypton just not as white as the regular Titanium White or it is a bit yellowish?

Savage c-300

The Krypton Titanium has more light output, meaning i can see the road better at night compared to the regular Titanium bulbs and the light that is reflected on the ground is still a pure white color.

BUT, when looking directly at the headlights, the Krypton Titanium is not as white as the regular Titanium bulbs, but its still whiter then the stock bulbs.

When you have the Krypton in the low beams and the regular titanium in the fogs and they're turned on at the same time, the colors of the bulbs do not match exactly. You can tell the difference, but it still looks good.

Keep in mind that these bulbs dont have that really bluish look to them that a 6000k + bulb would. its more pure white with a tiny hint of blue.

Also, if you havent noticed, the low beams are incased in that projector type housing which also distorts the color of the light output which is maybe why the colors are off between the fogs and the low beam even though they are both rated at 5500k. I hope that helps out a bit.

I would recommend the Kryptons because they're more practical. If i could do it again, i would have got both sets of Kryptons for my fogs and my headlights. the krypton bulbs are still whtie just not as white as the regular titanium.

as far as the eyelids go, when you have a whiter light output, you wont be able to see as well as a light with a yellowish output, thats why our street lights (the actual lights on our city streets that turn on at night) are yellow for better visability. Changing these bulbs to become whiter is more aesthetic then practical because you need color to contrast the darkness and pure white is as colorless as you can get. This is of course comparing the bulbs with the same Watt output (55w vs. 55w). You can get a pure white bulb with a higher wattage and get better overall light output, but you might be compromising the electrical components in you car. some say you can go above 20w the factory bulbs but i like to play it safe.

*when i get a chance, ill post pictures of my headlights with the stock, regular titanium and krypton side by side so you can compare. got to wait till dark to do that though.

Great info, Savage!!!! I am leaning toward the Krypton again but I would wait for your pictures for the comparsion before I pull the trigger.

Thanks again for the info!

Savage c-300

ok so here are the pictures i promised. sorry i used a different camera and it was outdoors so the street lights might give it a different effect, but you can still tell the kryptons are not as white as the regulars. i also added a picture of the fog lights with the regular titanium bulbs.

supernsx

Thanks, Savage. The fog lights look sick....

It seems the picture shows the the krypton is more greenish than blueish but it is still not as yellow as the OEM.

I am wondering if I use the regular titanium bulbs for both low beam and fog light and turn them on the same time when I drive at night, does it have enough light output?
