Headlights...

Anyone have any experiences with these

I'm a bit leary over the fact they come with "Racing R" krypton gas bulbs. and I dont know how they would fit but other than that i think they would look good..

I have put the larger version of them in my s10 truck. Fit better then the GE ones you get from w/m, and are brighter, with not as much "yellow" in the beam.

I didn't look at them, but mine had a "extra" hole where a 194 buld can be installed. I did have to slightly cut/drill the bucket for that because I am using it.

the sealed beams are good but the bulbs aren't anything special. I'd save up for a true HID bulb/ballast kit from Hella or Phillips/Ostram. The bulbs don't perform any better than regular Halogens, as in they don't light up more area than halogens, they are whiter and therefore objects are somewhat clearer since they reflect it more. I can read street signs and see cop cars from way down the road, that it the biggest benefit! But they are just halogens, I've been in cars with real HIDs and cars with just bright bulbs, there is a big difference.
