Anyone have these wana comment on the brightness, colour, ease of install etc..

I was looking around and these bulbs only cost 20 bux yet "imitate" the look of HIDs. Just wondering if they are worth the trouble.

And what is DOT/SAE...cuz some arent DOT/SAE Approved.

better then stock bulbs, but the pair i just got....one of them burnt out in 2 months....it could just have a bad batch?...so its your call

I have had these for a while now...100 times better then stock, but don't kid yourself they're not even close to looking like "H.I.D.'s" but they are better then the cheap ones at Canadain Tire and mine usually last about 5 or 6 months, but the place I got them at return them and give me new ones for free when they blow

dbg1234

ouch, that blows...I dont want to replace a bulb every couple months.

btw, what model r u guys using? I was looking at the fusion ones, but those arent DOT/SAE approved....

I used to have some cheap HID looking bulbs, they looked alright, but burnt out in a year or something.....put the old ones back in, still going good like 3 years later....meh, I could care less now....

i had eurolite "zenon plasmas" and they lasted me over a year and half. i got hid's but they were still working when i took em out. and the ones i got were dot approved

i used to have them, and they do get burnt out every few months, but these bulbs 1 year guarantee. so whenever they get burnt, i just go to the store and get a new pair.. in a year, i think i have used 3 pairs of those lights!

any bulb that has more watts than OEM will burn out quicker.

You can't imitate HID's, you can clearly tell the difference in traffic who has HID's and who has "xenon" bulbs...especially oncoming traffic.

Save up and get the real deal....just look in my sig.

the eurolite ones are not high wattage

imported_Thrill_House

Thr bulbs arent higher wattage, they claim that due to to the coating on the bulb that they are equivelant to a higher wattage bulb. The reason that most of the bulbs burn out faster is because the coating raises the inner temperature of the bulb causing the filament to fail more rapidly.


BTW the only good Xenon bulbs that I ever used were the $20 Eurolite Xenon fusion bulbs, nice beam patter, very bright, and nearly pure white. All the other ones I ever ran were either dual or to blue looking.

I dont know what everyone is talking about with the burnt out lights...i had those eurolites in for over a year and just took them out recently because they SUCK

nothing imitates HID's...spend the extra couple of bucks and get a decent set of halogens, i bought some luminics recently..which apparently burn out a lot too...no problems yet...does everyone know you cant in any way shape or form touch the bulb, maybe thats the problem?
