Ain't tried them, but can tell you right off the bat the stock photo is with dims (maybe even fogs only :lol: ) and the 2nd is w/brights. Do a search and you'll find plenty of info :cheers:

what are you looking for brightness, color , pattern ?? If your just looking for color, and bulb will do most are just tinted. If you are looking for brightness look to Catz Galazy Whites or PIAA Xtreme Whites, both are slightly brighter but cost more. If you are looking for a tighter pattern (focus point) then most of the PIAA line will do so well. Other than that, gotta spend some $$ for real HID.

I can't say I've tried those exact bulbs but I did get som 5000k 9006's off e-bay and have been pretty happy with them. They are a higher wattage (90-100 I think) so they are brighter than the stockers and they are much whiter with a hint of blue. They might not pass for HID but they look better than the yellow halogen bulbs.

For 13$, I don't think it gives you anything beside the color ;)

I have used the PIAA Xtreme Whites and the Sylvania Silverstars. Both are OK, I like the PIAA better, but they cost more as well.

Neither compare to my Acura TL though with HID's.

I ordered these and believe me, it ain't worth the hassle of changing them. Very little difference in brightness.
