Very good spread! Not as good as HID's but close!

Definitely brighter than stock halogens.

Ahh, and yes. That's me.
The flash on the camera messed up the color of the lights in the picture, but here you go.

Check the last post (close picture of all lights) on the previous page to see the true color.

Er, I don't think that's true, certainly not on mine, which has TWO bulbs in each side. I believe the '98 (which you have) has one bulb for DRL and high beam.

Ahh, yes, that's true. I have one per side (2 total) and you have 4 total?

brendanlim,

i was just checkin out these lights on their site last night!

so one question for you, how big of a difference do you see when you're actually driving?

and for those who are familiar with polarg m6 bulbs, do you guys think those will match with these bulbs?

Bit -- Exactly the same as mine. I thought it was different just like you stated but turned out to be the same bud. BTW -- still on for swapping fogs?

I see a BIG difference when driving! The spread is farther out in front of me and on the sides. Color of the light projected is very white with a light hint of purplish blue. Very nice -- replicates HID's very well.

As for the Polarg M6 bulbs; I saw a picture with them paired with HID's and it matches very nicely. I'm going to have to do that because I can't stand the DARK YELLOWISH/ORANGE DRL's.

I compared my Mom's HID's on her LS with my Silvania's and it matches real close when the HID's are all warmed up.

Very much worth the money in my opinion.

bit the DRL is the high beam a lower wattage... the wedge only comes on at night when the HIDs are on. when the high beams come on the HIDs go on and the wedge + high beam bulb are on full wattage. Night the high beam bulb is off..

fogs are only on when night lights are on..

that is how it is for canada.. plz find out what it is for US.. just put ur lights to "off" and tell me what bulbs are on! im interested why they would change for canada!

here you can see its the high beam bulb thats lit not hte wedge - this is when the DRLs are on, you can tell because of the bulbs low wattage.
