Has anyone ever heard of these bulbs? Do they fit right up to the stock bulb or how does it work? Are they worth it, do they last long/durable?

I want to buy some black headlights and i thought that these would go well with them.


Let me know what you think.

They should fit the stock coupler just fine. i cant access ebay at work so i cant see the company name...but as long as they are not no-namers...they should do ok. i'd even check to see if there is warranty with them just incase. what kind of black headlights are you looking at getting, just doing stock case, redone in black , which always looks pretty nice. Any pics of these headlights?..
As far as the color of these...they would look pretty nice.

 

yea the stock headlights with the black finish instead of the "normal" chrome. Once I buy them, then I will replace the lightbulb intself with these, and keep the other as a back up

so i wouldnt need like a conversion kit? they say that they just replace the stock bulbs and will not melt wires.

 

These will be a standard 9007 bulb with a blue coating.

Now this worries me (copied from the first one's ebay page):

Q: What does 8500K mean and how will it benefit my driving?


A: Contrary to popular belief a "K" rating is not the measurement of a bulbs brightness or color depth, but it is in fact the ability to project its light source further and wider into the darkness. Using this formula our 8500K replacement bulbs project over twice the distance and width of stock bulbs.

These guys have no clue what they are talking about. It is NOT popular belief, it is FACT - the K "rating" is in fact the colour temperature in degrees kelvin. 0 degrees kelvin is black, 5300 is close to daylight, 8500 is getting close to the violet end of the visible spectrum.
Higher K numbers typically result in LESS light output, not more - in this case, much less because they are filtering out a substantial portion of the available light to make them look blue. Add into the mix the fact that the human eye cannot focus blue light as well as it can light that is closer to the red end and you can see (no pun intended) that these will give you much poorer vision at night.

If you never really drive on really dark roads and are only interested in a blue looking light, go for it. They will plug right in and they won't fry your wiring.

 

will they melt my leses or damage any parts of the headlights?

 

now because of the high temp (8500k) can this melt or damage my headlight?

 

No, the k temperature is related to the colour of light an object would emit at the given temperature. It means nothing regarding the operation temperature of the bulb itself.

An object at 0* k would have zero energy and give off 0 light, an object at 5300* k would have a lot of energy and give off light of the same colour as the sun.

As long as the bulbs you put in are the same wattage as the stock ones (55w low / 65w high) you don't need to worry about frying wires or melting your headlights

 

Im with DaBuzzard on that....wont melt anything as long as the wattage is the same....like he said, those guys on ebay dont know jack. just gotta make sure wherever ur buying from is trustworthy.

 

it dosent say it comes with the ballasts. its prob just the bulbs

 

It says that it will be just a replacment of the stock blubs, so I figured all i would have to do is "plug and play" as it says.

 

ya...ur right in saying all u would have to do is plug and play! it's just a straight up switch of the stock bulbs

 

im trying to sell my 12k 9007-3 bi-xenon kit

 

yea. i ordered mine sunday night so they should be in by the end of the week. I ordered them and a shortty antenna. Just doing little things here and there, trying to work on my appearance first and then move onto the performance.
