Hey all!

i installed my new Raybrig Metal Whites last night! they are SO bright AND white!! i love them! they cast a very near HID light on the ground. i can't say enough about them except they are SO cool!

interesting thing about them is that at the edges they're no pure white so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic (something my friends all complain about), yet the light casted is 3580K. here's a pic.

oh yeah, the picture is actually pretty accurate.

i got them through speedwerks.com for ~80 w/CA tax + ship incl. i'll go take pictures of them in a little bit to show everyone!

Damn, 125/130 for 3580K. I bought bulbs from http://www.visualfxonline.com by 3ARacing for $24 that had 4200k rating and used 55/65 watts. But yours pick looks far brighter than what I had. I would definitly check your wiring harness for any melting. Unfortunatly, I don't have any picks of those bulbs, because they went with my 95 taurus when it was totalled. I have yet to buy another set for my new taurus and for the max if my dad wants em.

nono...

you guys know how the PIAA's are "rated at 110watts" and stuff? that's what the output is also rated as (125/130), the draw is 55/60. don't worry, no burning of the harness nor the housing.

ohhhh....gotcha....it's all good then. Saying that they put out 125/130 W is a bit of a gimmick though. It is physically impossible for something to use 55/60 W and put out 125/130 W. But hey, they can say what they want. If the bulbs are as good as they look in the pictures, then it's all good
