Eurodesigns Xenon Blue Bulbs

Anyone try out Eurodesigns blue headlamp bulbs? I ordered ones for the hi-beams and for the regular driving beams(8500K for both) They are supposed to be street legal. Got the hi-beams in and I'm waiting for the regular headlight bulbs to come in. I want to install them, but I want to do it all at once so I can get it done. They were real cheap,and come with a lifetime warranty. Never heard of them before, but for $12 per set its worth the chance. Any feedback would be good. Thanks.

so you ALREADY bought them...too bad for you...i bought them as well and when i switched the high beams on, i thought they didnt work they were so dim...my low beams were MUCH brighter than the highs...not to mention they were just about as yellow as our stock high beams...sorry to disappoint you, but let me know if yours are any better

edit: wait....you got low beams as well? how is that possible if you have a 2k2? i thought that company only sold halogen bulbs...

I bought the 8500k (has 9005 sticker in the upper right corner of the package) Blue lights for the hibeams (as advertised for hibeams). And later from a different company 8500k blues for the headlights. The ad for the headlights does not have a 9005 sticker on them. They are both supposed to be xenon/krypton gas bulbs. What did you mean by low beams as well? Do we have totally different set-ups for the high and lows? I thought that the hibeams were seperate bulbs. Is taht right? Lighting is not my specialty, that's why I'm asking. Help me out because now I'm worried that maybe the other bulbs are the same thing and the company that sold them to me are f*cking up the application. I just wanted to get that kool blue color for my lights. I looked on the car to distinguish what bulb is what. It looks like the outer of the lights are the driving lights, and the inners are the hibeams.

yeah same experience, the h3's lasted less than 2 weeks. The 5800k was pretty white and a little bit brighter than the h3's that were in there.

they are garbage.. i had a set of headlights and fogs and they both burned out in less than two months, and they dont look that good IMO. the Piaa GT-X bulbs are million times better.

what he is saying is, how did you buy low beam halogen bulbs when the low beam bulb in a 2002/3 is an HID bulb?

exactly...our cars have separate low and high beam bulbs...the low beam is a d2r HID bulb and our high beams are the 9005 regular halogen bulbs (so what you got for the high beam is correct) but i just was wondering if you actually bought real 8500K HID d2r's to replace your stock HIDs...
