They're colored bulbs. They just have a tint in them. You've gotta be real careful with them. Those bulbs tend to burn harnesses. If you decide to get them get stock wattage which is 55W if I'm not mistaken. Dont get 70w or 100w you'll burn out your harnesses.

The stock wattage for your main headlights are 45/65.
