New bulbs

I know theres tonnes of threads on this subject, but I cant find a clear answer.

My bulbs are burnt and I want to replace them. I just want to get new bulbs, and dont have money for a HID retrofit.

I was looking for the clear white bulbs with a slight blue tint. Which is the best ones to get? I see bulb s with wattages from 60 - 100 on ebay. Which is thebest for my car, 92 v6 4 dr.

I tried those " xeon blue " blulbs before and they burnt out so fast. I just want to get OEM-like lifetime out of these bulbs.

Also, will doing the 9005 ---> 9006 mod melt my wire harnesses?

Thank you.

I have a set of silver stars and I love them. Very bright white with a hint of purple/blue. I paid about $20 each.

Anyone heard of/used Koito bulbs? Apparently they only draw 60 watts but produce 110 watts light. Also they are supposed to last for years.

Are they any good?

I wouldn't trust any compnay that claims "110 watts performance." I fit draws 60w, it has 60w performance. Also light output is measured in lumens, not watts. Watts is a measure of energy consuption (joules per second). I don't trust companies that make bogus claims.

I think there is a replacement warranty on them if they do burn out. Not sure of the exact length, maybe someone else might like to chime in with that.
