POLL: Luminics or Nokya? - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 12-16-2008, 02:50 PM

I have a dealer app in front of me for both brands, but I can only afford to stock one brand of bulbs at this time.
This is for headlight, foglight, etc.

Help me decide!

I request comments about the product itself, but not about customer service experiences, since I'll be providing my usual superior brand of that.

personally i love PIAA, but if you couldnt get those then i would say the nokya

cali yaris · 12-16-2008, 02:59 PM

the buy-ins for some of the brands are pretty hefty, PIAA and Sylvania included.

all those bulbs actually burn out so fast in my experience. the best brand i've used, was actually an ebay brand. "GP Thunder". They were kinda pricey for an ebay brand, but i bought them because they were 8500k (which matched my 8000k HID kit back in the day) - This was 2004 guys, and i was a young ricer!
Anyway, they never burned out once! They outlasted all the other brands i ever tried including Nokya, Silverstars, Eurolite, etc.

The Luminics that I had worked fine until I uninstalled them then reinstalled them. They blew right after the second install.

I had luminics installed on my mazda6i i never had a problem with them until i got a fix it ticket mainly because i was running a yellow bulb for my headlights for about 1.5 years, i never reinstalled after that.

My Nokya (hyper whites) bulbs burnt out quickly in my opinion, had them installled on my mazda6i after the luminics, i then went back to stock.

Interesting results. On ScionLife, it's 15 to 1 in favor of Nokya.

Since Nokya also provides small bulbs, smoke paint etc. I'll probably be going with them.
