#336 of 342 Re: Phillips Nightguide [allmet33] by wobbly_ears Mar 23, 2009 (6:54 am)
Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 23, 2009 5:50 am) Guys,   I'm currently running on stock bulbs on my 07 Azzy. However, I'm itching to get the Silverstars on my car. The place where we live is unlighted at night & brighter lights would definitely help.   What I am worried about is the rumor that these replacements don't last as long as the OEMs. I have heard that they go out almost once every 1-2 years. Is that the case? If so, why can't Sylvania make reliable ones as OEMs?   I want brighter light but I want them to last as long as the OEMs. Can you guys help me? I don't want the lights to konk out when my wife is driving as she's not at all mechanically inclined. (Her idea of changing a tire is calling me to do it, lol!!)

Replying to: wobbly_ears (Mar 23, 2009 6:54 am) Wobbly ears...headlights are a funny thing. I've had OEM bulbs go out within the 1st year of ownership. I've also had aftermarket bulbs last longer than a year. The problem is you're dealing with an electrical system and surges can cause bulbs to blow. Other factors are how many miles you're driving and how often you drive at night. Also, if you're the type that drives with your headlights on during the day...you effectively shorten the life of those bulbs greatly because the U.S. Azeras don't have a daytime running light funtion that burns the headlights at a fraction of the voltage as they would with night driving.   In reality, a bulb never goes out at an opportune time and about the only thing you can do is maybe by 2 sets at one time to have spare bulbs on hand in the event one should go out. A light bulb lasting 1-2 years is really, really good (especially halogens). However, according to the lighting experts, we aren't supposed to be waiting for the bubls to blow before replacing them as the bulb naturally grows dimmer over time (which makes sense). You can get a set of Silverstar Ultras for between $35-40/pr. and lasting 1-2 years...that's not a bad return actually.
#338 of 342 06 azera high beams by boblaw Mar 24, 2009 (12:40 pm)
has anyone figured out how to adjust high beams? if the low beams    are adjusted does this affect the high beams? thanks boblaw Replies to this message: allmet33 (Mar 24, 2009 12:44 pm)

Replying to: boblaw (Mar 24, 2009 12:40 pm) boblaw,   If you adjust the low beams...the high beams adjust with it as each adjustment affects the entire headlight housing.   Mike

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 23, 2009 5:50 am) It does seem to be a good idea to have an extra bulb or two in the car. It seems the haolgen bulbs don't last as long as sealed beams but it's a lot easier to carry a spare.
#341 of 342 H.I.D. Kits for H-11B by joew6969 Apr 01, 2009 (2:33 am)
I have a 2009 Hyundai Azera Limited. We all know that the standard halogen bulbs are lousy for night driving, especially out here in rural Ely, NV. There are NO aftermarket bulbs for the H-11B low beam. I found an H.I.D. conversion kit made specifically for the H-11B light bulb. It only costs $120.00 and is available at www.hidguy.net. I am going to order the 6000K kit because it gives the appearance of BMW, Mercedes and Audi like H.I.D.'s. When you view the kit online it describes how the kit fits H-11Bs' without any modifications. As soon as mine arrives and I install it I will post another message and let you know how easy the kit was to install and if I am happy with the look and performance of it.

Replying to: joew6969 (Apr 01, 2009 2:33 am) joew6969,   If possible, can you take as many pictures as possible of the process? It would be of great help to those of us who are more visual learners
