Scottbaru Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 It took a bit of looking, but I found plain halogen Hella 80/100 9007 bulbs for my '99 Legacy. No luck finding HIR bulbs in 9007 base, but there seem to be new versions regularly. I don't care for the higher frequency bulbs that have become popular. I'd like to avoid adding aux lights, hopefully this will do the job. If anyone else is looking, I found them at rallylights.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'd like to have those bulbs on our 2 Subarus but I worry about overloading the wiring. When you mention ".....higher frequency bulbs that have become popular" are you referring to bulbs like Sylvania SilverStars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottbaru Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 $11.50/bulb. My brother ran 80/100s in his '96 Legacy for years, that handled it well. His didn't last as well as he'd hoped, I've heard that a lot. I've had them in my Audi for ten years, replaced one. Higher frequency light scatters more easily (blue bends best), dazzles eyes, lights up fog. Bulb makers have been using a good compromise frequency for decades, fashion is driving demand for higher frequencies. I encounter some weather around here. In high-speed, low-vis situations, I don't want blue lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am gonna have to pay attention how they compare in Oregon weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
