** BRAND NEW ** set of PREMIUM XENON HALOGENS ( 2 Xenon H7 Bulbs) Is it a Xenon or a halogen?

Our Xenons uses 55W (your stock wattage) and they produces an AMAZING 155W Can't get more out than you put in.

Xenon Foglights (H11) Better read fitment from members that have tried to swap bulbs.

STAY AWAY

HTH

Mr_Mojo

My personal opinion is if your can came with the standard Halogen Projectors install some 4500k Halogen lamps. You get the HID look but with no problems of trying to fit an aftermarket kit.

If got the PIAA Extreme Force lamps that are 4700k, not fitted yet as don't get car until next Friday but from the pictures I've seen they have a bright white/blue colour just like Hid's

If you guys call the guy with the ///AMG badge a poser.... Why doesn't anyone jump all over this guy for trying to fake xenon lights when he clearly bought halogen lights?

Mr_Mojo

///AMG badge is just a badge so serves no purpose where as by upgrading the Halogen lamps actually improves the illuminance level output of the headlamps making driving at night safer.

A 4500k Halogen lamp has improved illuminance output over the standard 3000k lamp.

You mean higher color temp actually puts out more light?

peabers

I thought it was the wattage that defines how much light is put out...

MB Fanatic

The higher the color temperature the lower the light output. 8000K xenon bulbs yield much less light than 4300K bulbs.

Lumen refers to the brightness of a bulb. The color temperature is purely a scale to measure the color of the light output, the higher the color temperature the whiter, or bluer, the light will be. The reality is the higher up the scale the lamps are the less bright they become.

The thread was meant to ask for help/humble opinion.

To those that were smart enough to realize that, thanks for the advice.

To those that were smart @sses... thanks, too.. I had a good laugh!
(funny how somebody's personality shows in a simple forum question)

i'd pass on the headlight bulbs. the hyperbole in the description is incorrect
for a host of reasons that it's clear the seller is not selling quality made items.
the terminology used is technically flawed. you can have a 55 watt bulb
using 150 watts and still be putting out the same lumens. slight of hand....
and waving of words. stay clear.
