Putting in 55w xenon blue white bulbs into stock light fixture?

[Anim]

Hi all

My low beam bulb on the left side popped last week so I bought some 55w Xenon White bulbs off ebay, not added them yet.

It's these: link here

The seller said there is no kit needed for the Boxster and they just replace the existing bulbs.

Has anybody tried these? Opinions?

Thanks

PS. I don't have the litronics upgrade done, these are standard Boxster lights.

well if you are asking for opinions... I would have to say those some crappy lookin bulbs... i hope you plan on getting something from autozone after.

Get some Narva or Osrum (sp) bulbs instead. Better bang for the buck and will last a lot longer than those. Just my Canadian 2 cents.

For proper advice, Google Daniel Stern Lighting for the best bulbs to get. I followed his instructions with my 2008 Edge with great results. I am a happy camper ...

Hmm, I'd just go with something like Osram Silverstars . They won't last as long as standard bulbs, but the difference, if small, is noticeable.

The blue tinted bulbs you bought are more than likely on the lower end of the quality spectrum.

Thanks for all the advice. Will look into getting something a little more quality after i've tested these out.

Also looked up Daniel Stern Lighting and he says:

The H7 +50 bulbs from the big four reputable European bulb makers (Philips VisionPlus, Osram SilverStar, Narva RangePower+50, Tungsram Megalicht) are functionally identical. When we pick ten samples of each and put each one through photometric, optical comparator and life tests, there's a very narrow range of performance and life differences, and those differences are randomized among the four brands.

So, more than likely get the Osram.

Thanks again

I like the Narva a bit better ... read cheaper on this side of the pond ...

If you're gonna put in those gay blue bulbs, get yourself a big can exhaust tip and some guages going up the A pillars with a phoney fire extinguisher mounted on the dash.
