What does the imprinted markings on the bulb socket base say? 55 watts? 65 watts? 100 watts?

Hope you have better luck receiving the bulbs than I do. I ordered mine from last Tues., they are supposed to arrive at my door on Fri., and nothing has shown up. The seller sent the bulbs to the right address. Post office (USPS) said that they did deliver the shipment on Friday, but might have been mis-delivered to the wrong person/address Now I'm at a loss of what to do..

For what it's worth, I have had very good success with this vendor over the last month or so. I have purchased three sets of their cheaper lamps (4,350k temperature instead of the current 4,750k temperature). I couldn't justify paying double the price ($40 vs $20 a pair) for 400k in lighting temperature. All three sets shipped separately, and I received all three in a very timely fashion.

I think any beef you may have is with the USPS, and not this seller. My two cents.

BTW - I can't compare the brightness or color between the two different temperatures, but I am very happy with these lamps. I installed a set in my '04 RX330 fogs, my high beams, and a pair in my wife's Acura CL regular headlamps.

Can you please post some pics of them lighted up?

I bought two sets - one for the fogs and one the main headlights for my 97 Maxima SE. I will post up pics when I get them installed.

This may be legitimate, but these arent the real thing, it may come close to the xenon color, but I'd still prefer the real thing.
