Hey guys, i have a question. I drive a 1998 corolla, and i have a pair of H4 headlights (those wannabe HID ones)...i was wondering, are they the correct match for my car? cuz i went to sylvania.com and it says it only fits the 9003 lights, not the H4. can someone help me out? thanks!

hey i have a 1999 corolla. its 9003 as well. but if you do the research, youll find that h4 is the same thing as 9003. h4 is basically just another alterego for 9003. what brand did you buy?

edit: ive tried almost everything to simulate HID. any cheap brands are too good to be true. from personal experience, even sylvania silverstars had a yellow tint to them. but i am finally satisfied with these PIAA bulbs.

they will burn out soon its not worth it to try and fake hid's just save up for them and have some really nice head lights

I'm on my second set of Lite-Glow H4 Hyper Whites, the first set lasted me 2 years which isn't too bad. They're white with a very light bluish tint, I'd recommend them to you guys if you don't want to fork out tons for PIAA's.

how much did you get yours for?

$30 CDN a pair. Not sure how much they sell for in the US.

haha, i know mine ain't PIAAs. i bought them in hk..they are some cheap ones...ive bought the same cheap ones for my old 88 corolla and it worked for like 2 years as well..so i figured i go for these again. hahah.

another question, ive looked under the hood, and it seems to me that it takes a lot of work to change the bulbs? im a newbie, so it may just LOOK difficult. seems like i have to remove like screws and what not just to get to it. hmmm.. opinions guys?

I personally don't like PIAA's. I think they're crap. A buddy of mine installed them on his bike. Popped a wheelie and when he landed they broke.

that could have just been because it was poorly installed..ie it wasnt fitted properly or it was loose. i dunno. anyway..

on my 99 corolla, it takes less than a literal 5 minutes. take out the battery, unlatch the cage, uplug..replug..latch it again..replace battery. not sure where the battery is located on the 98 but im assuming its the same place. trust me, a 10 year old could do it
