Headlight question

Has anyone ever purchased headlight bulbs from luminics usa? If so I was wondering the quality of the bulbs. Also they have a harness that is supposed to protect your bulb wiring, but it just looks like an extender to me. Is it a rip-off? Any input would help.

Thanks

The harness is worth it

The bulbs will fry the harness instead of your factory one if they get too hot. I have them on my headlights.

Yeah I had a set of high-wattage bulbs (non-HIDs) that destroyed my wiring harnesses. So you'll definitely need new ones if you're running anything over, what, 55w? Haven't purchased from them but it sounds okay. Just make sure you get a warranty, or money-back guarantee. And make sure it's written somewhere. Print it. And you're good!

i think they resist higher wattage and it wouldnt melt your wires, something like that lol
but luminics makes good stuff.
i bought some bulbs for my dad's van and they're holding up real good!
