I think it's Albert... or anyone really. Do you have the regular wattage bulbs or the higher wattage one? How's the light output? Can you SEE in the dark? The Piaa Supwerwhites are ok, but I want more light!

Thanks,

My friend had the Hellas on his 2.5RS and they weren't all that special at all. The light wasnt especially white or bright. AND, they blew out in a month. Maybe he get a bad set I dono.

Hella Optilux

I gottem. Was gonna compare to piaas, but i couldnt find a set to compare with anyone.. (im southern cali)

Had someone to compare with, but he disappeared.

Theyre ok, not super white or anything, they are whiter tho. I dont care about them too much, but its not like i can return them.

Plus, they have a lifetime warranty, mine have been on about.. 6-8 months? They look bright, but i cant compare them to anything. Theyre DEF not stock yellow. :>

My Hella Optilux bulb blew in 3 weeks

It was the 80/100, high beam from the Optilux sucks.

Shing! STAY AWAY FROM THE OPTILUX! They're made in Korea...and in my experience the Hella products that are made there all fail quickly. I had two sets that blew out. The glass actually would crack and leak out all the halogen gas. Luckily Ken at Susquehanna was cool...took them back for an exchange. I got the 80/100W Hella standard type bulbs sitting on my desk at home. Haven't put them in yet...my alternator's on the fritz.

I'm going to look into that Infiniti j30 headlight thing.

Re: No offense to my Korean brothers and sisters but >>

I have gone through so many H3 bulbs in two years. 2 pairs of Hella Yellow star (lasted 3 months, junk), 1 pair of Hella HIB (1 months, even worst than yellow star), 2 pairs of Hiper industries H3 70watt bulbs ( 3 months, high wattage just don't last long). I'm running Hiper Industries's H3 50watts right now (3 months). I got them from http://www.groupbuycenter.com for $14.99 a pair. Best deal I have seen. I paid $39 for my last pair of hiper industries. Nothing can last as long as OEM bulbs. I'm going to try the Hella Opilux since it has the lifetime warrenty. At least I know I won't have to spent more money on H3 bulbs. My 9004 is going strong for 2 years - JC Whitney Xenoon.

I have the hella optilux h3 on my car. I've had them for about 2 months now. No problems as of yet. I do get high beamed when I have my fogs on.
