anyone tried the yellow h3 bulbs off Ebay for foglights?

I was surfing Ebay and found a bunch of sellers hawking yellow H3 bulbs for our foglights, I was wondering if anyone here has tried them?

here is an example:

Yes I have those same exact ones except I didnt get mine off ebay. They are very yellow close to the lexus foglights and look great. I would recommend them, if you want more information go to http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/

i don't know about those man. I hate when sellers make their products sound much better than they really are.

these bulbs look nice in that one pic of the integra, but those bulbs are def not HID or JDM, he just added those words so ricers would think these bulbs would make their car cooler.

I had a pair of "yellow ION" H3 bulbs in my fogs before, and they each burned out within the month the I installed them.

When you install bulbs, make sure not to touch the glass, the oils from your hands makes them burn out much quicker, I can't stress that enough

But if you wanna take a chance, and agree with the price (which is very low for quality H3 bulbs, a little too low) then try em out man.
at least you'll gain some knowledge from the experience.

you'll just have to pry off that reflector piece, i think and then behind that there should be one or two screws to remove the foglight and then just unscrew the bulb from the back. not bad at all. at least i think this is how it is for 95-96

I heard luminics are really good and last a long time. They give off a nice deep yellow like the Lexus ones. I have Nokya right now in my fogs and when they give out I plan on buying luminics....cheaper too.
