anyone have these? it doesnt say the wattage but i am assuming that it is 80/100 to compare to HID's. it also says that the base is made of fiberglass and it wont melt the wires and they also give a lifetime warranty if the bulb ever fails. sound good? tell me what you think.

i brought this up once before, but got no replies to it. I was thinking of getting them, but not really sure I wanna shell out the cash even though they are lifetime warrenty. if you do get them let me know.

I just got those today with the fiberglass base and lifetime warranty. But frankly I am thinking of getting the wiring harness anyways.

Be forewarned, if you put any bulb that has a higher wattage then stock you are going to burn out either the socket or wiring harness over time, its that simple. Now i suggest getting a APC upgraded harness if you buy those, yea the bulbs may have a warranty on them, thats no big deal,alot do, its not usually the bulb that will go. "fiberglass base" is just marketing, when the socket goes the bulb base is usually never harmed, its the socket or the harness that fries because the bulb is overwatted

remember its ebay....most things are too good to be true

I bought these off ebay about a week ago. I got they for $19.45 shipped to my door. They are a pretty good improvement over stock visibility. You can definetly see a color difference too. These bulbs do have a blueish tint to it, not as dark as the Acura's and BMW's with factory HID, but still have a blue tint. If you do get them I suggest getting the foglights too (if you have foglights) to compliment the lighting. Overall I am very happy with them and the people are great to deal with. They sell these bulbs for around $60 on their website. Hope I helped

Here is a picture of them, not a very good one but you can tell the difference in the color of the Plasma Headlights and the stock foglights. E-mail and I will take a better picture for you if you want.

Hrm, a better pic would be without the fogs on, and from the side to see what type of beam the light put out.

Alright I will do that tomorrow night because it is too late right now (just about 12 midnight). You mean take the pic on more of an angle right?

Alright here is a pic up close of the headlight with the new bulb in it and the stock foglight right next to it. I hope this comparison helps a little bit. I might try and take a pic right a dusk to try and get a better picture because pitch black doesn't help with my kinda of camera. E-mail me with any questions.

Well what I meant was, to take a pic of the light beam that shines out onto the road, so I can get an idea of what the beam pattern looks like.
