Products!

Lots of lights, bulbs, and prices below. But first:


Where's the shopping cart...?

There isn't one.
Choosing automotive lighting devices and bulbs is a fair bit more complex than it might seem, and a great deal more complex than some vendors would have you believe. Prewrap, one-for-all offerings generally don't give results as satisfactory as solutions specifically put together for your needs on your vehicles under your driving conditions. Often, the products you want because you've seen them, heard or read about them, are in fact not the ones that'll do the best job of accomplishing your actual lighting goals.

So, I've opted to carry on providing personal, one-on-one consultation ("How can I help you?) rather than installing a shopping cart ("Gimme yer money and get outta my face!"). Old-fashioned? A little slower? Yep, especially if you're experienced and knowledgeable, and I realize that. But, I really feel my enviable reputation for customer satisfaction is worth it. If you don't agree, you may choose to shop elsewhere, and that's OK. But if you agree with me, please feel free to E-mail me your query and I'll be happy to get your needs handled. Ordering isn't hard; I accept credit cards and various other forms of money, and we'll discuss it once we've worked out your order.


Important Notes

All products below are clearly marked as to their regulatory-approval status. All products are sold and intended only for legal uses. Anybody selling headlamps who doesn't tell you this (and answer your questions about it) is not being honest. Returns are accepted only with prior approval, and only on unused, uninstalled lamps in original packaging. Bulb returns cannot be accepted. If the return is due to an error on our part, there'll be no restocking fee. If the return is due to an error on your part, or in the case of discontinued items, a restocking fee may apply. Items returned as defective may be replaced or the appropriate refund may be issued, at our option. If we make a shipping error, we'll pay to make it right.

North America uses left-hand drive cars (LHD) and has right-hand traffic (RHT). The proper pronunciation of "Cibié" is "C-B-A". Click most pictures on this page to see larger versions.

Relay Installation Kits
for headlamps and auxiliary lamps

Thin factory wiring starves bulbs!
Click here for more information.
These parts packs help you feed full power to headlamp bulbs. Kits include American and German-made extreme-duty parts to accept your own 10-12ga wire: 30-amp relays with dual output terminals, relay brackets and terminal blocks, terminals, extra-tough fused fuseholders and high-heat headlamp sockets. In most cases, the vehicle's factory wiring remains uncut.

Wire is not supplied because your local economy offers a wide selection of colors and lengths; it's the hardware in these kits that is so hard to find locally.

    Bulbs listed are 12v types.
    6v and 24v types are available—please enquire.


    H1 bulbs

    These single-filament bulbs are for low-beam headlamps, high-beam headlamps, auxiliary fog and driving lamps. Fun facts: The H1 was the world's first-ever halogen automotive bulb, and may well be the most widely used type worldwide. It was introduced in Europe in 1962, and immediately revolutionized car lighting and roadway safety with its compact size and high output. It was finally legalized in the US...in 1997, three and a half decades later!

    • 55W Ultra High Efficacy Plus 50 (Narva Rangepower+50*): $15.50/ea
    • 55W Narva Rangepower High Efficacy Plus 30: $11.50/ea
    • 55W Tungsram Gold (produces selective-yellow light): $15.50/ea
    • 100W Narva: $13/ea

    *- About H1 +50 Bulb Brands:
    The H1 +50 bulbs from the big four reputable European bulb makers (Philips VisionPlus, Osram SilverStar, Narva RangePower+50, Tungsram Megalicht) are functionally identical. When we pick ten samples of each and put each one through photometric, optical comparator and life tests, there's a very narrow range of performance and life differences, and those differences are randomized among the four brands.




      H2 bulbs

      These single-filament bulbs are primarily found in auxiliary fog and driving lamps, though there have been a few low-beam and a few high-beam headlamps over the years that used them.

      • 55W Narva: $10/ea
      • 100W Narva: $13/ea


      H3 bulbs

      These single-filament bulbs are primarily used in auxiliary fog and driving lamps, but they've also been used in some headlamps, such as certain variants of the Marchal Amplilux. Fun Facts: The H3 was the world's first transverse-filament halogen car bulb, introduced in 1966. The transverse filament and short focal length facilitated the design of certain kinds of lamps that were difficult or impossible to make with axial-filament bulbs. H3 was legalized in the US in 1997, thirty-one years after its European introduction.

      • 55W Narva: $9/ea
      • Now!55W Ultra High Efficacy Plus 50 (Narva Rangepower+50 exclusive): $15.50/ea

      • 55W CPI Gold (produces selective-yellow light): $15.50/ea
      • 100W Narva: $13/ea



      H4 bulbs

      These 2-filament bulbs with P43t base are for high/low beam headlamps and Cibie BiOscar fog/drive beam lamps. Fun facts: The H4 was the world's first 2-filament halogen automotive bulb. It was introduced in Europe in 1971, and was used in many millions of European and Japanese headlamps starting in that year, but wasn't legalized in the US (where it was designated HB2 or 9003) until over two decades later, in 1992!

      • 60/55W Ultra High Output Plus 50 (Narva Rangepower+50*): $19/ea
      • 60/55W Narva Rangepower High Output Plus 30: $13/ea
      • 70/65W Osram Plus 50: $22/ea
      • 85/80W Osram Plus 50: $24/ea
      • 100/55W Narva: $17/ea
      • 100/90W Narva: $20/ea
      • 130/100W Narva: $22/ea


      *- About H4 +50 Bulb Brands:
      The H4 +50 bulbs from the big four reputable European bulb makers (Philips VisionPlus, Osram SilverStar, Narva RangePower+50, Tungsram Megalicht) are functionally identical. When we pick ten samples of each and put each one through photometric, optical comparator and life tests, there's a very narrow range of performance and life differences, and those differences are randomized among the four brands.




        H4 halogen bulbs on P45t base

        Upgrade your vintage European headlamps to modern-car light levels! These updated halogen bulbs (above left) fit and work correctly in all 1950's through 1980's European high/low beam headlamps originally equipped with tungsten R2 bulbs (above right). Light output is much higher, life is much longer.

        • 45/40W (original tungsten wattage) Narva: $11/ea
        • 60/55W (standard halogen wattage)Narva: $14/ea
        • 100/90W Narva: $20/ea
        • 130/100W Narva: $22/ea


        H7 bulbs

        These single-filament bulbs are found in the low beams, high beams and fog lamps of many European and Japanese vehicles made since the 1990s. Fun Fact: The H7, introduced in 1993, was the first new halogen headlamp bulb design type-approved to Europe's Regulation 37 in twenty years. It touched off a wave of research and development that saw a dozen new halogen bulb types introduced over the next 15 years.

        • 55W Ultra High Efficacy Plus 50 (Narva RangePower+50, Osram Silverstar, Philips VisionPlus or Tungsram Megalicht*): $21.98/ea
        • 65W Osram Ultra High Output (2100 lumen, H9 burner on H7 base, race and special-purpose use): $29.40/ea


        * About H7 +50 Bulb Brands:

        The H7 +50 bulbs from the big four reputable European bulb makers (Philips VisionPlus, Osram SilverStar, Narva RangePower+50, Tungsram Megalicht) are functionally identical. When we pick ten samples of each and put each one through photometric, optical comparator and life tests, there's a very narrow range of performance and life differences, and those differences are randomized among the four brands.




        H8 bulbs

        These single-filament 35w bulbs are found in some late-model fog lamps. Like the H9 and H11, they can be very difficult to find in the aftermarket. It is tempting to install a higher-power H11 in place of an H8, but doing so will result in dangerous levels of glare, melted fog lamps and overheated wiring.

        • 35w Narva or Osram: $11



        H9 bulbs

        These new single-filament 65w bulbs are rapidly gaining popularity amongst automakers for use primarily in high-beam headlamps, often in conjunction with H11 bulbs for the low beams. H9 is an extremely high output design (2100 lumens) with an extremely white light color.
        H9 bulbs are not physically interchangeable with any 9000-series bulb. As with H8 and H11, these are currently tough to find in the aftermarket.

        • 65w Narva or Osram: $12



        H11 bulbs

        These new single-filament 55w bulbs are quickly supplanting HB4/9006 in new low-beam headlamp and fog lamp designs. (They are not physically interchangeable with any 9000-series bulb!) As is the case with other bulb families—such as 9004/9007, 9005/9006, etc.—the H11 has different base keys than its H9 high-beam and H8 fog lamp counterparts. Somebody goofed on the spec, though, for the difference between H11 and H9 base keys is insufficient; it's too easy to install an H9 bulb where an H11 belongs. The difference in light output between these two designs is enormous (1350 lumens from the H11, 2100 from the H9), so putting an H9 in place of an H11 will obviously cause the lamp to produce a lot more light. Some lamps are designed such that the optics would handle the extra light well, without creating excessive glare for other road users. Many, however, are not. As with H8 and H9, H11 bulbs are not widely available in the afterma rket.

        • 55w Narva or Osram: $13.50



        H13 bulbs

        This is the new 2-filament headlamp bulb developed to supersede 9004 and 9007 types in new high/low beam headlamp designs (it will not fit or work in headlamps designed to take 9004 or 9007 bulbs). It's gradually catching on, with several 2004 and later Ford, Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge and Nissan models using them. Nissan dealers charge $67 for the same versions in stock here!
        • 65/55w Philips or Sylvania: $17.75
    All other bulb types can be furnished; if you don't see what you're after, please feel free to email. Please do not ask for overwattage 9004, 9005, 9006 or 9007 bulbs; they are unsafe and not for sale — see this PDF for a detailed explanation.
