What do you guys think of these?
What do you guys think of these?
are these any good for my foglights? Would they melt the housing?
Im just looking for some yellow fogs, nothing fancy, and nothing cheap looking. I took the pic and description of ebay, what do you guys think of these?
Description:
+ 9006 (2,500K color temperature)
+ Golden Style Plasma Xenon bulbs
+ JDM Japan Versoin. MSRP over $100
+ High quality xenon charged HID lamp system, 100W > 170W with no extra current draw
+ No overheat (wiring is protected)
+ 100% street legal, brand new, ready to ship, no reserve
+ Newest generation xenon bulb last longer and brighter
+ Highest quality xenon bulb on the market.
+ Superior safety and driving comfort
+ See more road ahead making it a safer driving experience especially in rain and fog
+ The closes thing to the super-intense H.I.D. lighting you have seen on the high-end imports
+ These bulbs are made by the same factory that manufactures the PIAA brand
+ A maximum of 100% of Xenon gas to allow the halogen process to produce a higher white (2,500k) light output.

AFAIK the wattage on stock fog bulbs is 55W. Based on that pic I see 2 different wattage numbers, and they're both SUBSTANTIALLY higher than 55. I would be very skeptical. Replacing fried wires/harnesses isn't fun. Not to mention the description doesn't match the image.......Unless they're really cheap, I'd keep looking. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for".
Yeah i know what you mean, but its 80 watts.
Oh well.... so what other Quality alternitives do i have in the $30-$40 Range that will give me nice yellow output. Not necessarly exactly, but as close as possible to the GS4's.
Thanks.

GRAND_LS, I know this is sort of a crazy thought, but what about converting the plastic fog lenses to the yellow kind (don't ask me how), or inserting a yellow reflector lens between the outer lens and the bulb? Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I believe the yellow light from the GS fogs is achieved by a yellow lens covering in between the outer fog lens and the bulb. Anyway IMO this may be a more effective way to get the true "yellow" look from your fogs.

Edit- Just noticed on their site, you can order from them. The price for a 9006 goes for $17.20 + shipping a piece!!!! MUCH cheaper than PIAA Ions!! Not to mention they're 55W!!!!!

That sounds really cheap, so I dont mind trying them out for the heck of it. But where do i order?? I cant even find any yellow ones that fit my car. (Btw my fogs are H4/9006). Thanks.
