if you have HIDs, don't you have a warranty on the bulbs?

And now it's a salvage car baby!!

And for any oldtimers on AW, yes I know I've soaked this pic for all the sympathy I could ever get!

Default Even if you already have HID bulbs...

stay away from these - 8000K is more blue/purple but less light output. If you need HIDs, go for regular 4100K xenons from someone reputable like Philips/Osram.

If you do not have HIDs already, then you cannot use these bulbs. You need halogen H7 bulbs.

Default Thanks, I have hids, but your info was what I was looking for! Thanks again.

I thought they seemed "hyped", I'm looking for stock ones but they are harder to find. A couple sets on ebay now though... I'm watching them.
