There is no part number, just ask for your size, eurolite only makes one style of bulb for h4's isn't it?

I also had eurolite fogs. They lasted over a year, and I broke one when I was taking my fog light housings off to sell them when I got my new front end.
I still have one eurolite bulb if anyone local needs one....
ya you owe me a blub <_<

Ask for our size??? Sorry man, but I'm clueless when it comes to aftermarket shiat half the time. I found the Silverstars tonight at Crappy Trash, 28 bucks a pop.
The counter monkeys were busy, so this server monkey went home empty-handed :D :lol:

That's right. You can get them in OEM wattage or higher.

if you go higher than OEM wattage get a heavy duty wiring harness and use dielectric grease on the connectors.. using dielectric grease even with stock bulbs probably isn't too bad of an idea either

Agreed. You'd be surprised, but the stock harnesses melt VERY easily. I ran stock bulbs on high beam for an hour once out in the country and my harnesses began to melt.

Maybe you can try the coolblue from Cantire, very white, cheap and the most important thing is legal.

if its sylvania 'coolblue' i tried that already and it looks just as cool as the OEM bulbs.. tried one 'coolblue' and one OEM side by side.. no difference
with a filament based bulb only way to get more light output is higher wattage, only way to make it look more 'bluish, or whitish' is to tint, which reduces light output
besides, everyone can tell the difference between poser tinted bulbs and a real arc discharge setup
save the money and don't bother with anything that advertises an improvement in 'color output'.. its just marketing designed to take money from people who don't know any better..
take it from me.. i wasted money on that stuff too.. it doesn't work. i should have saved the money and gotten arc discharge from the start instead of wasting money on different bulbs and then getting the MACH lights

So I need different harnesses for the Silverstars?
Ack, with everything going on right now, I'll just wait till after the car is right.

you should use a heavy duty wiring harness if the bulb has higher wattage than stock.
you probably don't need to go with a different harness if they are rated at stock wattage, but some dielectric grease at the connection point probably isn't a bad idea to reduce the chance of the bulb fusing to the connector

You would have had to gone thru a lot of bulbs to equate the cost of HID's. :P

i didn't EQUAL the cost of HIDs but i mean.. its still money down the tubes
cheap ass eurolites $20usd
sylvania 'coolblue $8usd
PIAA 90w 'hyperwhite' $60usd
heavy duty wiring harness $40usd
dielectric grease $5usd
2 sets of generic 100w bulbs $20usd
that's $153usd right there.. when the MACHs were at their very cheapest that was almost 1 side right there...
that said.. the only real waste there was the PIAAs, eurolites and coolblue (pretty much all the crap tinted stuff)... the dielectric grease, 100w bulbs and wiring harness IMHO were money well spent.. OEM wattage is 55w or 60w right? so that's almost double the light output for $65usd. and its an actual improvement, not marketing hype.. more wattage + no tint = more light..
EDIT: spelling pwns me
