I got showoff's krypton last week. They look awesome! Very white...My corner lights still have the yellowish light from stock, and the contrast is huge (not to say ugly). Visibility is greatly improved. I dunno if they are better than bulbs with only xenon, though. I bought the pair for 35 including s/h. Ebay also have them.

Xenon look good...

But, only if you like to match them like I would (those are the same bulbs I have in both H3 and 9004). Though, last week me H3's went out after only a about a month of "in time". I though My electricals went, but it was the bulbs-both h3's. Wierd huh? If you don't have that problem, I suggest both the same, it's a nice even look (though it seems to **** people off in front of you @ night). One more thing I had to do, trust me, if you haven't...change the side bulbs (marker lights) from the dullish yellow to a hyperwhite 1156 bulb. I think Xenon makes them too.
Good luck.
Either way, it's still the sexiest car!!!!Haha

Yeah, they are, but I think that if you put the 1156 in, they stay bright all the time. You have to shave one of the stubs of though.

you can use either an 1156 or 1157 and shave one of the stubs off, right?

So many companies, who to pick? I am getting my lights this weekend. Probably right after I get my Streetbeat strut from UPS. I went to hifi buys(Atlanta) looking for an amp and saw some in there for $80 dollars. I'm not paying $80 dollars for bulbs. I'm just curious to your thoughts.
