Luminics Krypton Titanium Whites

I am interested in upgrading to the Luminics Krypton Titanium Whites for my low beams. Do I really need to purchase the harness???

I have the same bulbs for my supplementary high beam bulbs (I have bi-xenons), but didn't get the harness and I had no problems for more than a year now. BTW, the color of the Krypton Titanium matches the bi-xenons perfectly.

I'd guess it doesn't hurt to get the harness, especially when you have them on a lot. The Krypton bulbs from Luminics are larger, so it may put out more heat, but I don't think these bulbs run at a higher wattage like PIAAs, which has a tendency to fry the wires over time.

I couldn't find the right year model on the company website. Anyone put these in as primary lights yet? Any suggestions?

I used the Luminics Krypton Ultra White and while they looked a lot like xenons but I was disappointed in the brightness..I think they were worse than stock.

Anyone know if the titanium whites are brighter?

yeah but I wanted to know if anyone is using these bulbs in their low beams without the harness? I don't mind paying for the harness if I truly need it but I didn't think it served any purpose.

I just want to add that my bulb blew out after a year. I switched to DTM HIDs and they are 10x better. Super easy install too!
