mickeyd2005 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 For those of you who want to use the 9011 to replace the 9005, you will need to trim it as Daniel Stern mentioned in his response. I am planning to replace the 9006 low-beams on my Odyssey with 9012 HIR2. I found this on the internet that might be useful. Hopefully, it's accurate. http://shnu.us/HIR%20Trimming%20Stock.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I did order my bulbs but they are backordered two weeks.He is really helpful and nice in person - called and talked to him. He stated that his mother (or mother in law) has a Legacy. I went to the dealer and they replaced both my headlight bulbs under warranty (23,xxx miles) but so far it seems the lighting is worse than before. Maybe they put longer lasting bulbs (replaced both) which cut down on lumens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Anyone get these from Daniel Stern? I bought the Rallye H7 +65W for the low beams and the gold H3s for the fog lights. The low beams are really bright now. I think I wasted my money on the fog bulbs. I can barely see them because the low beams are so bright.

Guest Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 How much are Rallye H7 +65W ? Is Stern the only source for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 They're pretty expensive at 26.40 each. I bought 9012 bulbs from him and he charged the same as ebay sellers so my guess is that they're just expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hmmm. But from what you describing they're good? I am happy with the headlights, except perhaps rain, where low beams could have more ooomph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 It's all up to personal opinion. They're rated to have 30% more lumens but that's not earthshattering. The stock H7's are already pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken S Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just installed a set of the 65W H7s bought from suvlights.com (they were about $40 before tax and shipping). I have noticed that they are brighter and a higher color temperature than the stock H7s and my previous European Silverstars. For me, I think they offer more bang for the buck than the Silverstars -- with those, I really didn't notice a difference over the stock H7s.

TwinkE Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Anyone know how these H7's compare to something like the apexcone HID kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 As I said, I got the Rallye bulbs (65W) from Daniel Stern and I am pretty happy with them. Brighter and more light on the ground. no need for HIDs or replace fog bulbs (unless I am going yellow). Heck I don"t even run my fogs no more.

mickeyd2005 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 ^^^ I agree. After driving around with these for a few weeks, I really appreciate how bright they are. Fogs are drowned out by the low beams. I've noticed that the only cars that seem to have more light in front of them on the road surface are late model German cars with factory HID.

dave g Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Has anyone experienced any objections from oncoming traffic with the 65W low beams installed? They appear to be about 50% more lumens and that seems considerable. I would not want an oncoming police officer flashing his highs expecting me to lower mine when I am running low beams.

mickeyd2005 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The LGT projectors are pretty well focused. The light doesn't shine above other cars' trunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'd love to get some, but I constantly get flashed with the stock lights. I cant imagine if they where brighter. My drive home has a lot of unlit twistys. Ahh who cares where do i get em:) If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Do you drive over a lot of crests? You may want to check headlight alignment. My lights form a fairly sharp line and it points down so the cabin of the car in front of me is not illuminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yes on the Crests, and I did have them aligned-twice. I know the hills have to have something to do with it. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiGT Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I have the 65w low beams, get just about the same on-coming traffic flashes as with the stockers. Damn wagon sits tail low to begin with.... I'll align the headlights after I level (lower) the car this spring. Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave g Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I have an SE. Are GT headlights any different? It is interesting that some of you get flashed with your stock lights. I have only driven my car 1200 (mostly local)miles and been flashed just once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
