I Finally Found H13 Xenon Bulbs for my 05!!

Infiz · May 26, 2005

Since I got my car in January I've been looking for some H13 Xenon Upgrade headlight bulbs - well I finally found them & I'm so excited!!!

I just found http://automotivelightingusa.com in a google search & they have them. I also got a set of H10 bulbs to have matching fogs.

I'll post pics as soon as they arrive.

I know I'm really excited to get these, I'll try to get some pics up ASAP. I did find some off-brand H13 on eBay that I've never heard of but I've had Nokya bulbs in my last three cars and they've been great so far!

Pardon my ignorance, I'm not really up to speed on headlights. is this just a simple headlight replacement. I looked into some HID assemblies online and they run about 500 bucks. I would love to be able to just change the bulbs to something brighter.

crewwolfy · May 27, 2005

These bulbs are simulated HID; I think that's what it's called. The gas inside the bulb produces a different color temperature (bright white, hint of blue, red, etc). So it looks like an HID system, but without the price tag.

You can pick these up at any auto store; not this brand but the xenon bulbs. Which is something I was wondering about. Is Nokya just a reliable brand, or is there something else different between these and Silverstar or any other off-the-shelf brand?

I've been waiting on these myself. Just ordered the H13 for the headlights and the H10 for the fogs. Now only if I can find a set to fit in the lower fogs from my roush fascia!

Nice i was looking for bright white xenons also. Do you know if these are good quality and will it fit the V6?

crewwolfy · May 28, 2005

no difference in headlights between 6 and GT. Driving lights obviously GT only. V6's take H13s.

Is the wattage any difference from the stock bulbs? I don't want to fry my plastic with new bulbs. But they look really sweet.

crewwolfy · May 30, 2005

Ya, make sure they're the same wattage. I think they're 55/60. 100W (as pictured) will fry the system if that's the case.

billy_tripper · May 30, 2005

All the replacements i've seen are higher wattage. I've run them in my Dakota and Explorer and never had any problems. My dad could never get a set to work in his Sport Trac though because of the higher wattage I believe.

Be very careful with overwattage bulbs. My '97 Audi reflectors melted with overwattage lamps. (10 watts over) Also, stock wiring is usually barely adequate to handle standard wattage bulbs. Additionally, many of the "xenon look" headlights have a coating on the bulb that actually decreases light output. Daniel Stern Lighting (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/) is a great resource if you want to upgrade your factory lighting.

Good advice.

just ordered the xenon bulbs for the headlights and the roush fogs.....I think the guy said they were the h 10's. I've got the silverstars in the factory fogs ....really white light. The xenons in the headlights and roush fogs should give it a nice contrast with the blue tint I think. Thanks for the heads-up on the bulbs!!!

Did you get the bulbs yet? Just want to make sure the H10's fit in the roush lights before I order them. I just put H13's in the headlights and H10's in the fogs, looks great! Only problem is the roush fogs are yellow and it looks silly with the white headlights. Please let me know if the H10's do in fact fit in the roush lights. Thanks!

zwooky....yep I got them in and they work great. The h 10's are the ones for the Roush fogs too so order away!!!!

I hate to bring up an old thread, but did anyone get any pictures of them yet in the car? Are they much whiter than what's already in there? And how do these compare to the silver stars made by Silvania?

Those bulbs are a waste of money, they may change the color output but they are no brighter in any way over stock.

All these will do is cause annoying glare for other drivers... you need a proper setup not just bulbs.
