[JailBa8]

[onsoku]

I wanna see pics too...

Don't worry, I'll post em as soon as I get em! Remember, I live in Hawaii... Shipping blows.

[onsoku]

delayed post? my bad.

Ok, so I've had these bulbs for about a month and...

Actually, I wish I hadn't spent the money on the bulbs. I would've rather saved it for an HID conversion, as I mainly dont like the color. :thumbsdow They look like crappy stock colored bulbs but in fact they are much brighter in comparison as they claim. I compared them to other cars in lanes next to me and I could see an assload farther. If they had "cooler" bluer tint to them then I would appreciate them much more. However, if you dont really care about color temperature, and only for visibility, these actually great for the price. (ebay - $60)

If anyones interested, I may be selling them soon (for cheaper, of course) .

I'll try to update with pics later.

I would be interested in pics...I doubt these are a near hid replacement.

[onsoku]

finally... PICS

Yes, I know my camera and the cameraman suck... some bad pics, but at least i took em (in a rush)!

great freakin shipping... no bubble wrap or nothing, just a plastic bag!!


funky shape


ok, so these are BOTH STOCK bulbs.


comparison between HIR (left) and super white 80w(?) (right) bulbs. you can kinda tell there's a bit more light output from the HIR...


light color of HIR bulb.


my fave superwhites. love the color.


head-on with BOTH HIR bulbs.


HIR intensity on car in front.


HIR intensity compared with some other stock light on left. not too shabby eh?


bleh... tried to get the beam pattern but its not really a useful shot. bad focus and exposure...

yes, i know... not that great and hard to tell but my camera's night exposure blows comes out all grainy... and it was hard to find a dark empty road in the middle of the city! ah yes, and pics were not edited only resized.

So what's the verdict, pics are nice but in real life how do u like them?
Thanks for the pics
