Luminics Titanium White H7 Bulbs

In case anyone wanted to see, I just finished installing my Luminics Titanium White H7 headlight bulbs for my low beams. they are 12v with 55w and a 5500K rating. the pictures were taken in my garage in total darkness. i bought them from www.automotivelightingusa.com and recieved them next day! (ordered them monday morning, got them tuesday afternoon)
i left the stock high beam bulbs to see the difference.

I installed Sylvania silverstars about 3 weeks ago in the low beam location. After seeing your photos, I just ordered the Luminics Titanium! I will move the Syvanias to the high beam location and put the Luminics in the low beam spot.

Hopefully I will see a difference between the Sylvanias and the Luminics.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Did you have any of the issues that others have had with the xenons? I have never seen so many people so worried about the color of their headlights. After seeing yours, however, I want some too.

Do the same bulbs fit the high beams?

the bulbs do fit the high beams and the fog lights since i have the sport package model. also, no issues so far and its not that crazy blue color, its just a pure white which i prefer.

2 questions:

1. Did you notice any difference in brightness?
2. Can you take a picture of what the lights look like from the driver's perspective?

Thanks!

Schvamf:
1. yes i do notice that it is brighter
2. i attached a photo below

Broke R:
I dont have the factory HIDs

C300-Fighter:
the fogs are also H7 and the eyelids are 194s, i have switched my eyelids to hyper white but not my fogs because i dont use my fogs or should i say, i rarely use my fogs.

06Benz230:
Correct, these bulbs are for non HID, they are the stock H7 bulbs replacements. They are super easy to replace, it only took me 30 seconds to switch out each side.

<<In case anyone wanted to see, I just finished installing my Luminics Titanium White H7 headlight bulbs for my low beams. they are 12v with 55w and a 5500K rating. >>

I like the look but since I have H7 70W bulb hi-beams now, I guess I'll call them to see if they have something brighter in the Titanium line. I certainly don't want Hondaboy blueish bulbs, though.

Increasing the wattage within reasonable limits will not be a problem. The bulb-out sensor is looking for less current flow, not more.

i got my 194 bulbs from autodynamic.com. i just got some generic brand i think they were 2 bucks a piece since the light output doesnt really matter on the eyelids, they're more for show then anything else. i know polarg and piaa make the 194 and they run about $20 bucks for 2. you need 2 194 bulbs in each light so thats a total of 4 bulbs you'll need. best part is, you can take the stock bulbs and use it to replace the bulbs in the trunk to give it a whiter look. (stock eyelid bulbs have a bluish tint to them to filter out the yellow spectrum, and the stock bulbs in the trunk do not have the tint)

How did you take out eyelids bulbs? After I took off the cover, I can see 2 wires, I tried to turn and pull but it's not comming out.
Thanks.

Please do let us know. Today was my first day driving with the Luminics Titanium (non kryptonics) and I must say that they were slightly dimmer than the Silverstars, and not as bright as the factory bulbs.

Not too bad...but wish I would have purchased the Kryptonics. But.....I didn't know about em!

[QUOTE=myinternetsucks;2819259]i just ordered these.....


i got em in right now from fed ex! i will take pics of them tonight! i still have the silver stars ultras in, so you'll have a good comparison between the two. i just wish i could compare the Krypton Ti H7 Vs. the standard Luminics Ti H7, to see the real difference in light output.

okay here they are! as soon as they came in i couldnt wait to put them in... but sorry for the sh!++y quality pics they were taken with my iFone.

this is the luminics Krypton on the left Vs. Silverstar Ultra right. Notice the size difference. both are still H7 socket plug. bigger is better....








sorry this was taken up against a brown brick wall





i wish i had a better camera the iFone sucks for pics. These pics dont really do the lights justice, they are awesome. i highly recommend them.
