Pic request: Sealed Beams vs. BOSCH H4's vs. Euro Ellipsoids

[rwh11385]

My vote is Euro Ellips.




Oscram Silverstars in lowbeams.

Lighting is fucking better x10 than sealed beams, and I like Euro Ellips > Hella H4 because they look sexier......yeah, cosmetics. Oh well.

~250$ for euro ellipse quite yet

You're a retard if you spend $250 on some euro ellipsoids. I sold some at the NW picnic this summer for $150 and I was more than happy to sell them for that much.

fine, then $150.

either way i didn't have the blang blang to spit out at the time. :roll:

I indeed 'upgraded' to H4s, and honestly do not think they're that great. with more wattage they'll be adequate, and having actual bulb choices was nice, but i did not notice the huge difference some people claim. better? yes, but not by a whole lot

FWIW

h4/h1 is a waste of time unless you put in 100/80W bulbs or Osrams.

my 100/80W are 10000000X better than any shitty sealed beam. Euro elips are still the best bet though.

[FrustratedMunky]

Hmm, these mixed replies are putting me off. Eh, fuck it, I just won't upgrade the lights... Not until I have an extra $300CDN lying around for bulbs and all that as well.

Thanks for the input.

I'm thinking Hella H4s are a lot better than BOSCH, my freind has them on his 318is. He hit a deer and smashed the drivers side light, replaced it with a sealed beam, and the one Hella H4 is brighter than both sealed beams are..

Oh really? Hmm, but still not even close to euro's I guess, eh?

Does anybody currently have a set of euro ellipsoids they are looking to sell w/ or w/o bulbs?

[kylebes1]

talk to euro3 I bought a set of Euro ellips from him. they are a million times better than shitty sealed beams and look awesome on or off

And finally, sealed beams on the left with Euro ellipsoids on the right. The Euros haven't been aimed properly yet.



And yeah, the white balance is waayy off in the pictures.

My euro's look exactly like Ryan's picture. I have Osram Silverstars I got from suvlights for 18.00 each. they look great. (after the great tutorial on aiming someone here (Jordan I think) posted here's the liinky for the bulbs.
