Has anybody tried the high intensity plus blue light bulbs from Ecklers cat. ? Are they worth the 20 bucks per bulb? Thanks for any input.

I have tried alot of different bulbs between my C4 and C5, and HID's are the way to go...don't waste your money, either stick with stock or HID (IMO)

replacing stock halogens with other halogens is a waste of time and money. go directly to HIDs.

Without hesitation, if you insist on staying with a filament halogen bulb, get the Toshiba HIR's. Still, not anything like HID's, they will give you around a 20% gain is visable light.

It doesn't project any further down the road than stock OEMs or Silverstars, it's just a little brighter right in front of the car and that's it.
