I had the Cibie lamps and they were way better then any hella lamp I have ever bought.

HELLA

ELLA

ELLA

AYE

AAAYE

AAAAAYE

I have stock sealed beams and have had it that way for like 4 years? LOL

Lights aren't high up on my priority....I will gladly rock stock yellowish light no problem

I recently got those H4 Hella E Codes though, just cause price was so cheap

I don't think I'll run HID though in it unless I can trailer the car

its not about the color of the light, it has to do with the performance: light distribution and total light output. the cibies are the best of the bunch. no offense, love hella products but dont believe all their products are #1. if i have the choice of offering a better product, i'll sell the better one and axe the model that doesnt perform. who cares if its more expensive? i sure as hell dont.

s13 owners shouldnt be so broke as to not be able to afford an extra 50-60 bucks for better quality model. if they are on THAT much of a budget, they really should consider another profession. I mean, building up cars (properly) is an expensive hobby. Anyone on a tight budget should not be building up cars, period.

but even for those who like a stock car, atleast put OEM quality (or better) on your car. its like having the option to buy some aftermarket gaskets from pep boys, or paying more for OEM (or better). just pay up and quit acting like a child with an allowance.

so anyway, thats the long answer to the short question as to why we dont sell those hella 200mm headlamps anymore. they're not bad, but they're not as good as the cibie lamps.

honestly, having better technology doesnt always have to be expensive, nor does it have to be "HID" - it just has to be quality. ide have NO problem with those HID retrofit kits, if they werent COMPLETE GARBAGE. we didnt sell them 5 years ago, we sure as hell arent going to sell them now.

Yeah, I was eventually probably going to get those Cibie from you, but the Hella's just popped up for sale for cheap so meh whatever just bought em impulse style

I don't doubt that Cibie's are better or not than Hella, but at least Hella ain't no APC you know?

Light science is too much for my tiny T rex brain to comprehend, so I kinda have never really put too much time into lights for my 240

I was just saying that OEM light is fine for me, I usually just go to Autozone and buy the Sylvania replacement joints or whatever

But yeah, going less than OEM just to save a couple bucks never makes any sense to me

Like Subaru owners taking their stock BBS STi (Forged) wheels off to replace them with ROTA....um, yeah

So what is it with the Cibie, better positioned/designed/highly polished reflectors?

130 bucks isn't bad..thats the price I've been seeing a lot.
