HAS ANYONE USED XENON BULBS IN RX-1?????????????????

[welterracer]

I bought as set of bulbs on Ebay and havent gotton yet!!

Dont know if they are good or bad , i have heard mixed remarks about them!!! :?

My only concern would be if the bulbs were of a higher wattage, causing a greater drain on the system.

 

[welterracer]

I was told the stock charging system has more than enough power for even bigger than stock lights!!

welterracer, I ran the Xenon bulbs last year and did not have any problems. Now, of course, I did not have anything else connected like heated shield or 12v accessory plug. I do plan on adding a 12v accessory plug for my Garmin GPS this year so time will tell if I run into any problems.

I put them in mine , I like them , the lite is a cleaner light , not so white. I don't think thery are much brighter but I do like that they have a blue tinge to them ( as we all know anything blue add speed)

Light Comparison

In the Jan 2003 edition of SnowGoer on page 18, there is an article on aftermarket bulbs. I saw your post and remembered the article and looked it up again. The net-net was no big improvement over stock. But for $20, not really a big deal either.

I have them in my sled and they are a definate improvement over stock. I found the stock ones too narrow for my liking. The XENON HID's give a very bright wide light. I also have them in my truck where again..Big Improvement over stock.

I did not want to change from stock wattage so I kept them the same. I remember last year someone talking about melting the headlight lens. :shock:

They must be brighter because they sure are anoying when some has them and is following to close. All you can see infront of you is your shadow. :evil:

And that is why they are illegal in Ontario - except for vehicles that come with them stock.

RXWonder, what brand +/or part number bulbs did you use?

 

[Swiss Sledder]

Just a guess, but I believe he purchased the Brite Lite product at the link below. Click on the Brite Lite logo, then fill in the RX-1 field and you will see the blue tinted bulb. Looks pretty cool.

TEMBRO..I have the box at home. I'll check tonight and let you know.

Recently Crappy Tire started selling a brand that I put in my truck. I will also check those. They were a bit cheaper and if you don't want the blue tint they come in an ultra-white. $20 each if I remember.

I use Slyvania Silver Stars in my truck and they are brighter than stock lights.They are still 55/60 watts bulbs but the light is brighter.I will be geting a set for my sled this winter.

this is what makes no sense they are illegal as an aftermarket item for what ever reasons but if you buy a vehicle with them stock its ok ..wtf kind of crap is that :evil: :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted:

i remember years ago i had a 78 shortbox ford lifted on 40"hawgs 8) and had a roll bar with lights on not just one but two toggles one to run power to the other toggle then that one to run the lights so u had to do two things before using them ..i got pulled over and they said it was illegal for me to have them and i said bullshit they sell pickups with roll bars and lights stock ..he preceded to tell me i was full of #*$&@ so the next day i went down to the dodge dealer took a few picks of the dakota which had what i was talking about and when it came time to fight ticket i showed the judge the pics and i won.... sorry just had to tell that story
