Research up on PIAA Xtreme Whites and Plasma Blues those are supposed to be good, I'm hoping on getting the Xtreme Whites.

Do you guys think these would be ok?

They're really cheap and have lifetime warranty so I think I might try them out..

I bought from him a while ago (last year). And my bulb just blew last week. So right now i have my stock headlight bulb and a White/Bluish tinted one. Kinda looks wierd...anyways, I emailed him about replacing the one bulb. He responded saying I had to send back the bulb with $7 shipping. Im not going to pay $7 shipping for one bulb that should be no more than $3 in shipping. And plus the bulb wont last too long anyways. I would just avoid the hassle and get some name brand headlights.
If you want, I could take a pic of it tomorrw night and show the differece between his bulb and a stock bulb.

Thanks man, I'd appreciate the pix if it's not too much trouble. So if the bulb blew last week how long was it functioning? Thanks

Sure, ill get them up as soon as possible, but itll be tonight after dark (late) or tomorrow morning before i post pics.
The bulbs lasted for a decent amount of time, some people i talked to with cheap bulbs like mine said there lasted 3-6 months. The one bulb lasted about a year, and my other bulb is still functioning.
I think im going to look into those Catz Zetas that YJ is talking about or PIAA Plasma Blues.

Man, I knew that company was shady... it's so infomercial-like, they make all their money on S&H, just like all infomercial products. FKRZ

True, but being about $20 total and one year of function it'd serve a good stopgap till I get the cash for some better ones

Hey Skymax could you also take pix of the difference of the light beam pattern shown on the road from inside of the car? Thanks again.

I'll sell you mine. I'm an honest person and I'm sure others can agree here I received some replacement bulbs from PIAA. They are Xtreme Whites H4's. I still have the original box it came in and I gaurentee you that they have never been opened or touched. I'll sell them to you for $35 (That includes S&H) if you want them.
