Hey everyone, I'm not satisfied with my santa fe lights, I'm looking into replacing my bulbs, the only problem is, I don't know how to find any of the product numbers for any of the wedge bulbs, turn signal bulbs, license plate lights, side marker lights, etc. I have asked this question in the forum before but did not get much successful feedback so I'm throwing it outthere again. Responses appreciated!

the headlight bulbs are h4. the fog light bulbs are h3. the front turnsignal bulbs and brake light bulbs are 1157. rear turnsignal bulbs are 1156. side marker, instrument cluster and licenceplate light bulbs are 194. these are all comon bulbs, so any auto store would carry them.

A friend says I should buy some replacement bulbs for my Santa Fe...Recommends H4 Vision Plus bulbs from England and says they are much brighter than my stock U.S. H4's and aren't available in stores here...Anybody had them or have thoughts????

ive heard of just about everything aftermarket, but ive never heard of that brand. what is the wattage and price, do you know? if they have a wattage higher than the stock bulbs, id stay away from them (thats probably how they get the brightness). also, if they are brighter than any bulbs found here inthe u.s., they may be illegal for use on public roads (blinding other drivers), and thats why you cant find em!
let us know if you find any info on them. im interested to see what specs they have. "Shi kin hara mitsu dai ko myo!"

Here's the link to the site...It says they're 60/55 watt...the same as the stock bulbs. $28 for a pair (including shipping) seemed fair. Gluteus

thats an interesting link!! maybe im reading it wrong, but they are saying that the halogen vision plus gives off more light than the xenon filled bulb. ive always came to the conclusion that its the other way around. the vision plus sounds like the equivalancy of the silverstar blubs that are made by sylvania. honestly, my xenon filled liteglow bulbs are cheaper and brighter than the silverstars, but i guess it wouldnt hurt to give these vision plus bulbs a try. the price doesnt seem outrageous, so id say go for it.

It says they are made by Philips. Philips IS Sylvania, so they are probably the same as the Cool Blue & SilverStars bulbs that are available over here.

but ex, youre shopping for cool stuff for your santy!!!!
there is a difference!! youre not being drug around by your other half to go look at yard ornaments and kitchen gadgets! give the lights a try, you might like them. i just like my liteglows more because ive tried both and it seems that the liteglows produce a brighter whiter light, but we all see things differently, so yours may suit you better."Shi kin hara mitsu dai ko myo!"

I recently purchased the BLUE XENON bulbs from Ebay ($17.98 w/S&H) and installed them yesterday. So far, I am very pleased
 with the look and the extra light they provide. The bulbs are blue, but the light they provide are white . They are 60/55 watts like the original, so heat should not be a problem. Check out the link to see what I bought. I keep you posted if I change my mind.cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/w...2410856558 mults |

Oni,
The package FRONT says: EURO WHITE XENON HANABI 100% PURE 3800K Side Panel says: CAUTION This halogen bulb is for "Off-Road" or "Show Car" use only. Please check your local/state traffic law before applying this product to your vehicle. This product contains gas under pressure. Protect bulb against abrasion, scratches and liquids. Light the bulb only when properly installed. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TOUCH GLASS BULB WITH BARE HANDS. Made in Korea H4 12V 60/55W I hope this helps. mults |

O.K. I put the vision plus lamps in today and so far, they seem much brighter than my stock bulbs...I need to wait for it to get dark around here to put them to the test. I was at the store today and saw the Silverstar bulbs for $24 apiece! Hard to tell, I think they are a different bulb than the Vision Plus. The Vision plus have a blue colored band around the body of the bulb and are of course $28 for a pair. By the way...Why does the manual have you ratchet the whole headlight assembly off and disconnect everything just to replace the darned bulb? I spent 10 minutes on one side going by the manual and about 30 seconds on the other side just unscrewing the jar lid and undoing the wire clip. Is there some sort of electrical hazard I should worry about, even with the ignition off? Gluteus
