dont buy those, search for "NOKYA 9004", nokyas are much better than those generics....... if the wattage is more than 55, then u will need to purchase a new harness

My experiences with buying 9004 bulbs off ebay have not been good...i've purchased Hiper bulbs and they burned out in a month, bought another pair thinking it was a fluke, the second pair burned out in a month, thinking a fluke again i bought a set of overwatt "plazma" Hipers supposedly they were suppose to have a purple tinge, they didn't and i e-mailed the company and they said they couldn't help me, and they were very rude,the bulbs arrived open from the original packing and they were poorly packed...as you can see my experiences have been bad buying headlight bulbs from ebay.

"This is not representive of typical ebay purchases, i am only expressing my experiences with ebay and certain sellers, if you have a good experience that's great cuz i really hope you do, i have gotten screwed too many times."

Sylvania SilverStar

I just installed Sylvania SilverStars in my 95 GLE. These have more than met my expectations. Sylvania is very good lighting, even for all other appications such as home or office. About $24.99 per bulb.

What I like about these, they are BRIGHT white and not purple or blue, like they are tying to be something they are not. I have had great luck with all Sylvania lighting products.

These can be purchased at your local AutoZone. And if you no like, you can take back. Alot less hassel than eBay.
