Do you know if these H3 Foglight bulbs are good?

I wanted to replace my H3 Foglights for my 03 Max and I came across these.

--Super White Krypton H3 Bulbs from Autolumination.com
$2.99 each
http://autolumination.com/headlights.htm

or

--Luminics H3 Ultra White Bulbs
$24.95 for pair, free shipping
http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/luminics_bulbs.php

Any testimony,opinions, and recommendations about them would be appreciated...

Thanks

You get what you pay for...I dunno if they will burn quickly but most likely they will. Save for HIDs

Is it the super-plasma or the GT-X that matches our HID's more? Our rating is 4000K, right? I forgot. hehe

I ordered the GT-X because I thought that they would match the stock HIDs well, and they do. just not exactly. there is a bit of a purple hue which is what i assume is the difference between the super plasma and the super plasma GT-X. I think that I would have been just as happy with the super plasma, but I just took a chance with the GT-X's.

I can't say as spending good money gets you a longer life bulb. My PIAA Super Plasmas are gone again. 2nd set in less than a year. They replace them but changing them in and out is a pain in the *ss.

PIAA Super Plasma and Super Plasma GTX are the same bulb; the GTX is newer. They are the best match among H3 bulbs.

Cheapest place to buy the Super Plasama's was Options Auto Salon, it's where I got mine and I was very happy with the bulbs and shipping...

I know what you mean. I had the Super Plasma's as well and just wanted to try a substitute that looked like them.
