well, they're probably not brighter than stock, or than sylvania xtravisions, but they are more expensive. so i think they're kinda pointless. if you want dim white/blue bulbs, there are cheaper ones out there.

there's always more behind a picture. Those are just blue coated bulbs that will burn out on you...and in result, burn the hell out of your headlight harnesses.

i bought a pair of xenon charged blue lights...good at first i thought until i went on a canyon run....they aint that great b/c blue light on the ground doesnt help vision, and they consume more wattage than a normal pair. I put my koito halogens back in :-)

?

you cant be posting incorrect info.

It IS brighter than your stock bulb, due to the fact that the wattage is 130/100w....in the event, your harness will melt.


stay away from these cheap bulbs. There are more out there that are worth your money.

If u want the real stuff, go HIDS.

the bulbs are not 130/100 watts. they are 65/45 with the "output" of 130/100. They should not mely your harness,cause it seems like the wattage is 10 less than out stockbulbs. our stocks are 55 wat lo-beam i am pretty sure of and those are 45 watts on lowbeam like a 9007 bulb. i duno i would not buy them, just go to target and get smome glow lite bulbs, they were the best hyperwhites i ever had and i had countless pairs. yea what Nismotic said go HiD!

the page says very clearly that the bulbs USE 65/45, same as stock, and that they WON'T fry your wiring. maybe i'm wrong, but isn't their claim of 130/100 just a gimmick to make people think their bulbs are brighter than they really are?

If you gonna buy those kinds of bulbs make sure you get upgraded harnesses also. The stock harness WILL melt sooner or later. I had to go through the same thing. But don't listen to the guy saying they're special bulbs, go for the ones that sell for $7 it's the same crap anyway, you just save yourself $30. And expect them to go out every 6 months or so.

Sometimes it's better paying more, but for real stuff

Most companies do say that their 65w bulbs "give the output" of a bulb with 100w+. PIAA does too, but I happen to believe them now that I have a set of 9004 and H3 Xtreme White Pluses. Spend the money, they're great. Pure white light, very bright... I just turned on the high beams tonight on my way home on the hwy for the first time, and holy ****... I could see 1/2 mile in the darkness with ease. Gonna be able to spot those pesky pigs with ease now

i agree. if youre not gonna go PIAA xtreme white, or HID, go with the cheap 7 dollar bulbs on ebay. the 7-10 dollar bulbs are the same as the 30+ dollar bulbs. Now I'm gonna buy the xtreme whites all around.

for the many sets of cheap ebay bulbs you buy that will eventually blow out, you can save up for HIDS.

go HIDS and you'll never ever go back.....ever
