nokya arctic white H7 bulbs are poor

tonight was the first time i drove at night w/ the Nokya Arctic White light bulbs. although they look very good (nice cool white color), their light output is poor.

for me, the factors of cost, aesthetics and light output of the Nokya's are not worth it. YMMV (<b>Y</b>oung <b>M</b>ay <b>M</b>ake <b>M</b>istakes )

I like them...but that was in my sport trac. But i dont like the lifespan. I guess i also like them cuz it improves my vision compared to oem.....but they might not be the best compared to the other aftermarkets.

well, first, i was trying to be funny... but i'm guessing it didn't work. :p

it should be YMMM but you see, i made a mistake and typed YMMV instead...

YMMV really means Your Mileage May Vary... as rick said... so i'm wrong about it being short for Young May, etc...

i bought Nokyas, it was a mistake...

anyway... now that i've explained it, i think i killed what little humor that was in it. i deeply apologize.

YMMV means Your Mileage May Vary
