Hey guys i got a quote just from the local shop i think it was auto barn they said for a pair of Ultra Blue for the high and low's for $65 a pair was just wondering if anyone has had experience using this brand? and thoughts?

Couldnt be happier with NARVA. More reliable then phillips from my experiences. Just make sure ultra blues are the ones you want. Not legal and you lose light distance and output as the lights are so blue

I have narva artic blues for lows and plus 50 for the highs, the artic blue buts out heaps of light and just enough when driving in the rain


Artic blues are more of a WHITE light than blue

I'm also looking at the NARVA Ultra Blue. 5000k bulbs. They are half the price of phillips so there is no way i'm going with phillips now when i may get defected for really white lights anyway.

Will be buying as soon as i get angel eyes put into new car.



By the way Ultra Blue isn't really a blue light, its just very white. My 6000k angel eyes weren't blue and these are of less intensity to them.

yeah thanks guys. I will order them sometime this week and get someone to install them as soon as i receive them.

Nope have to disagree there. My ultra blues are very blue light. You can tell them apart in traffic without a problem. Im guessing your HIDs arn't correctly rated. But 5000 is still pretty blue.

The 6000k there was the exact same as my angel eyes and the 5000k doesn't look blue to me.

Narva make some excellent globes, would never look back from buying some.

Ok guys if you want the best light output go the Narva Blue power (3750K)

If you want a whiter light you will want the Arctic Blues (4000K), or the Platinum's (4300K), how ever the platinum's have a slight blue tinge to them.

The blue power will defiantly have a blue tinge to them, even though they are specified to be (5000K) what this chart shows will be different to output from the actual bulb as they are coated quite heavily with a blue casing.

Question aren't you selling your car why would you want to spend money on it.

Not a great photo as i just took it. But you can clearly see the blue in the light

I think we best keep this on topic.

If you would like i can get you some pics of my platinum high beams, they are 4300K but you can defiantly see Blue in them. The kelvin rating is useful but its not the same as real life application.

just took these, Narva Artic Blues 4000K
its alot more white then blue

I'm thinking 4300k might be for me then. Anybody with NARVA ultra blue 5000k got a photo of the car head on??

SPL can u provide this?? i'm really interested now haha thanks.

HID is the way to go

Hmm nah think that's definately what i want. Send me the bulbs if you like haha.

2x H1 and 2x H7 are needed for high and low beams right?

HID is the way to go
It depends dude... I've got HIDs in my low and high beam... they look cool and are quite bright, but they have their fair share of annoyances... not sure if I'd get them again to be honest.

In terms of practicality something like Osram nightbreakers are the best, nice light without sacraficing brightness like i would with the diamond vision or NARVA ultra blue. Also cheaper then a HID kit.

For the record Orasm Nightbreakers are indeed the best, Narva just re brands them as their "Blue power" globes.

As for HID's steer clear. The light pattern that are emitted from those are infacts worse then standard globes and the amount of glare produced from a sub $200 kit is a road hazard.

If you are thinking about HID's i think you really need to have a read of this first.

Edit: As for the globes needed.

Standard Magna Headlights you need H4's for the low beam, but if you have parras you need H7's. Regardless the high beam is still H1.

Please do not get HID's if you have a TL/W as the headlight is much more bigger and it throws the light around more which doesnt mean more light on the road
Varva globes arent too bad for the price you pay for them
I've used them in my old car and about to put some arctic blues in the spare car
Tho in my magna I use phillips glodes and they are a fairly decent globe
Yea they cost alittle more but your paying for quality really

Are the Ultra Blue the most powerful in the Narva range? was looking at plantinum but it costs the same $65 a pair for a high or low so may as well get the ultra blue...had Phillip Diamond Vision Bulbs on my previous VT Holden Commodore would the ultra blue do the same effect?

They are both rated at the same intensity of 5000k, all i can tell you. That is diamond vision by phillips and Ultra blue by Narva. They may appear slightly different due to amounts of blue coating on the bulbs.

The ultra blue do have alot nicer effect, but less light distance and output

Do people just skip over what i wrote?

Hers an exact quote from Narva themselves.
"headlamp globes are measured in Kelvin (K) and Lumen (lm).
Kelvin represents the colour temperature of a globe (measured in degrees Kelvin) indicating how yellow, white or blue the light is. By raising the colour temperature of a standard globe (3,000°K) the light starts to take on a whiter crisper appearance similar to that of daylight.
Lumen (lm) is a measure of the ‘total amount of volume’ of visible light emitted from the globe. Therefore the higher the Lumen rating the more light the globe produces.

Narva performance globes offer a variety of advantages for motorists with no increase in power consumption or heat which can impact on the vehicle wiring or the lamps reflectors. Each globe in the Narva range is ‘UV-Cut’ making them safe for use in modern polycarbonate lens headlamps.
The various Narva options include:
Plus 50 - a practical upgrade producing 50% more light volume resulting in a powerful longer beam by some 20 metres.
Blue Power - an all new technology globe with 80% more light and a 20% whiter light, producing 100% more vision. The Blue Power globe provides a higher measured luminance resulting in more light on the road and is regarded as the ultimate globe in the performance range.
Arctic Blue - produces a distinctive icy blue / white headlamp appearance with a brighter, whiter light which at 4000°K is closer to daylight.
Platinum - is a globe providing a high quality light output with an attractive icy blue appearance to on-coming traffic. It produces an intense metallic white light and has an amazing 4300°K rating.


Ultra Blue - produces a distinctively blue headlamp appearance for on-coming traffic, catering more for the younger motoring enthusiast looking to be seen."

If a decision cant be made from this and the HID link i posted earlier, the thread is not going anywhere.

I disagree i found that HID works really well in parras, given their really poor light out put, i have gone from normal globes to narva arctic blue, Phillips diamond vision, HID is simply brighter, lasts forever & produces less heat, i would never go back to using normal globes.

It all depends on headlight design, as TL/TW headlight apparently dont work well with parras (from what people say), but this also could be because people buy high color temperature globes (like 12k). If you get proper normal color temp like 6k or less it could work much better

Where abouts did you get the angel eye lights from??????
