Anyone tried H4 Nokya headlights???

Is Nokya a good headlight? Or should I use PIAA or Polarg?
I found a set of Nokya online but don't know if I should buy. The run a bit cheaper than PIAA and Polarg. Suggestions welcomed...THX

polarg and piaa's are made in japan and tend to be better quality. nokyas are made in korea so theyre probably not going to last as long. Also they draw a lot more cuz they use a higher wattage so take that into account.

bulbs made in china should be your main concern not korea...they're getting up there quality wise to the japanese nowadays. personally i'd still go with PIAA tho IMO

half the people i talk with say nokyas burn out like mad. but they are bright and look good. one of the best 'ricer bulbs' out there.

piaa are overpriced, and overrated


but the purplish shade is enough of a seller point.

Nokya's are crap, if you want nice lights on the cheap, Ebay bulbs are probably better than Nokya's. I went thru 3 pairs in 2 months on my prev. car.

I've had seven pairs in six years. Sometimes they last one week, sometimes a year. Cheap, but works (most of the time)....

I've had nokya h4 since i took my car out of the sales lot. i bought i t used and i guess who ever had it before put them on. i've had to replace them i time in the last 2.5 years cuz one fianlly went out. They do use hight wattage cuz i noticed them melting my harness, thats one thing to watch out for but i like the bluish light that it emits. now the Fog lights i've had problems with more, one burnt in the frst week. and they don't match as far as color with the h4's

3 pairs of Nokya's in 2 months. Nice lights,very bright, but burn out so fast, and at $40 bucks a pair, that gets expensive. I opted to PIAA Super Plasma , going on 4 months with no problem and has a year warranty on them. Spent $85 on them , but haven't looked back, i think it was well worth buy.

The way i look at it PIAA has already payed for themselves.
