Hello Altonk,
I was wondering how was it you came across these bulbs?

[altonk]

Any issue with heat from these bulbs on the stock wires.

[altonk]

no the extra 10 watts is not a problem. just 833 milliamps more current @ 12v

Thanks for the info and the link for these. Do you know if this same bulb will work in the fog lights? That might make for a pretty interesting combination.

Foglight bulbs are different. They use 35W H8 bulbs. No upgrade that I know of, without modifying the bulb socket...and the wiring may not be up to too much of a boost, anyway.

Thanks for keeping me from wasting my time on the fog lights, and possibly causing a big problem for myself as well. :thumbup:

So exactly how bright are they compared to Stock and the HIDs?

Something like 2200 lumens vs. 1350 lumens. Same wattage and output as the 65W RT-S headlights.

I've use them too and they are much brighter than stock but no comparison to the HID's
