Notice that many bulbs fail prematurely only because there are morons out there who still don't understand a few basics. Like, for instance, that touching a bulb with your finger once is enough for it to last 3 months, instead of 3 years.

How is $180 + $60= $220?
By the way, I think they look great, especially for $20.

blue/superwhite/whatever ricer bulbs have a much shorter life span than the stock sylvania's.

ill try and take more pics soon....and you guys are missin the fact that if they do burnout, they have a lifetime guarentee on them. so $20 aint bad....and for you people with HID without projectors, those things are way too bright and glare so much into oncomming cars. I passed some ricer the other day with them in and I could barely see the road. until i save up enough money where i can buy both projectors and dual fillament HID's, i'll stick with these nice lookin bulbs for now.

Nobody said we were almighty, just stating the difference between HIDS and bulbs are amazing. Although some of us dont have projectors, the light output still beats that of a high wattage AM bulb.
On top of that, my wiring harness doesn't burn out like it used to when i had high wattage bulbs (i had the same nokya upgraded harness...and they STILL burn out eventually). I dont have to buy bulbs every few months either.
Get some HIDS, learn the difference between both, then you can continue to annoy every member on the org...
i agree with nismotic. if you aim the HIDs properly, you wont blind oncoming drivers, and you dont look ricey with the high wattage "superwhite/xenon blue" bulbs. i used to get brighted with my piaa xtreme whites, so it would depend on the driver oncoming towards you. sure, projectors are nice, but if they're so nice, ditch your "superwhite" bulbs and retro fit a set yourself. til then, you'll only be half as bright as me.

Retrofit is the best setup. Although aiming your headlights down towards the ground, you are losing usable light and some of the glare still hits oncoming drivers. I'm not proud of it myself, but i hardly get high beamed. I'll be working on a retrofit this coming spring-summer.
