I've had mine for about six months now and they work great, no problems. I picked mine up on ebay for $40. There is a big difference from stock.

I have them on my low beams. $40 for the pair at Pepboys minus a $5 mail-in rebate. They are nice. I also have the amber bulbs in my DRL's. Those were $25 for the pair but they look awesome!

We can thank the ricer boys for that. I remember a few years back it was all over the news.

I have tried them all and I think that THIS bulb is the best bang for the buck.
More of a bright white than the silverstars. These make the Silverstars look like the stock bulbs.
Just my 2 cents

But good luck with whatever ones you get

That's odd. Those bulbs in your link lok like all the copy cat Xenon bulbs out there. They look almost EXACTLY like the Streetglow bulbs I sell at my shop. Same with the chome covered bulbs. How long does the chome last? I put a set in my Ex's truck and hers lasted about a month before the chome stuff wore off and they were clearish/blue bulbs again.

Not knockin your product. Just curious.
