hi people

im farily new to this forum and owning my first fiat...

also are any of these any good??


ebay item number below::
Item number:290349039133


but ive noticed just now that the above are illegal as there blue, but ice white in those are road legal??

thanks guys
 
If they are real xenon bulbs they would not need to be 100W as proper 55W xenons are bright. I'm very wary of these 'cheap xenons' I think they are ordinary chinese halogen bulbs dunked in blue dye. If you want genuine legal high output bulbs go to www.startledrabbit.com or similar sites selling Osram, Bosch or Philips bulbs I'm using Osram Silver Stars & they light up reflective signs in broad daylight!
I tried some of these chinese blue lamps & the light output wasn't blue it was a strange almost pink light & you couldn't see where you were going they went in the bin pronto!

In all honesty, you don't really want blue tinted lights. To the untrained eye, they may look like HIDs, but someone really in the know will notice that there is no chromatic variation as the car corners or hits bumps in the road, and then you will just look silly. Sorry to steal your phrase Dan, but it's like people with 'shopping lists' on the side of the car. That 'Toyo Tyres' sticker will only kid someone for about half a second before they look at the tyre sidewall and see 'Tigar'.
