You can find them anyhere in the GTA. Mostly import shops have them.

Lookup Speedtech in Markham near McCowan & HWY 7. Ask for Sherman and tell him your Kostas friend and your looking for superwhite H4 bulbs for your Element. He'll give you an awesome price. If I've spent $25K for mods on my prelude $15K has landed in his bank account.

Speedtech Performance Innovations
166 Bullock Drive, Unit 3
Markham, Ontario, L3P 1W2
Telephone: 416-335-8388

You can even find them at PAC Mall.

I'd probably sport them but I'm doing a Bixenon retrofit.

My wholesale manager has ties with Sherman as well. If you can't make it up there let me know. My driver is up there daily.

hmm ..... i never seen them at Pac mall... the ones they show me all have a trace bit of yellow in them.... but mind u they only show me their $25 stuff...any more expensive they dont show!

if u can check out the cost first..i will consider...

just bought a second set of artic white (the one with a lil blue tint) @ p-mall...but i am thinking its not gonna look too good on a blue E (E2/facehapy).... too bluey! however, i can stock up incase my green E (E1/hapyface) dies off......

thats the beauty of standardizing my fleet...

from your friend, speedtech....

i went there today, but unfortunately were not the ones i was looking for.... the bulbs were blue and i saw a tint of yellow, which is similar to what i have on hapyface right now.... of course they offered me HID conversion which is way more white...but I am sure the ones i see on the street were not HID (cause they are using it on older / commonly non-mod family cars).

anyways both hapyface and facehapy are equipped with white LED plate lights and Nokya Artic Blue headlights now..... did the mod today when the temp was warm..... now i got gluey hands!

White bulbs without the bluish or yellowish tint?

Sounds like my PIAA Super Plasma GT-X H4's ;-) :D

i recall u said it had a lil blue? and i see on PIAA's website the Super stuff has blue coating.

PIAA's website says your bulb has a purple lowbeam and white high beam..... i wanted one that is white throughout

anyways i settled for Nokya Artic White again... $25 i cant complain and i had it 1 year and running!

But I found especially when alot of fresh snow was on the ground here, the light was very close to HID but it wasn't the blue look or the deep purple look. Hard to describe and it's something you'd have to see in person. but you already bought a pair so I'm just talking out my butt now LOL :-P

I have to check out P-Mall when I'm up there for grad. Sounds like a JDM playground from what I read on here and what my friends up there tell me.

However, he said sometimes they won't do that because alot of Asians think it's sketchy when a white guy comes in with someone who's Asian, like it's a government sting op or something. He told me the one time we were on Spadina that he would only get deals if he was by himself or with someone else who was Asian.

LOL I like the part you said earlier about how they charge $200 but say it's 50% off, when in actuality it's really just $100 to begin with. I got nothing but love for my Asian peeps don't get me wrong, but they are some of the cheapest (and some the most swindling) dudes on this green earth that I've met :-P. I refer you now to Russel Peters:

"Indians cannot live without a bargain, and Chinese people cannot give you a bargain. There objective is to get every penny from you...". He even talks about Pacific Mall in the skit :lol:

Even my Korean buddy is always on the hunt for mad deals (he joined RedFlagDeals.com, a website for bargain hunters LOL) and I laugh sometimes at the lengths he will go to save a few bucks :rolleyes:. A few times I felt like saying "Here, I'll give you the $2 and save you the hassle" haha.

I love how Russel Peters talks about P-Mall in his bit. I've never been there but I've bartered with a few Asian dudes in my day back when I was heavy into the car show scene (Darknights) and it was SOOOOOOO like that.

LOL I'm not the best negotiator either so they're probably laughing at me when I leave for sure :)

They give you crazy discounts, then they try to bend you over a barrel with double the value of your purchase in extended warranties, product protection, insurance, accessories, dinner and a movie if you buy a home entertainment system, 37-year owner comfort plan....:-P.

When I go into Future Shop in town here, it's like I have to do this Jedi mind prep before walking through the door so I don't go in for a set of AAA batteries and walk out with a 3-year warranty on them :roll:
