waste of money for how much they cost, if you want brighter bulbs buy much cheaper ones on ebay. If you want serious brightness you should consider and HID kit.

Yes. Its a very crisp bright white light - with a hint of blue. When used with a projector lens headlight, the effect is even more like a xenon. My dad has them in his Merc :D

Compared to the blueness of my sidelights (one of which im waiting on a replacement for), they are far from Xenon HID's, but a much better night driving experience.

In comparison, my foglights are yellowy compared to that of my headlight bulbs :D

Cheers,

Alex
