The Hellas were 100w? Are these the ones you bought?

Gonna wait and see how it looks tonight...hopefully the Polargs won't be as blue also...but at least I know the bulbs are lined up properly.

Thanks for the help guys
Glad to hear that you finally sorted out your problems. As for the Polargs I guess the only option you have is to just wait a few more days to see how it turns out or probably change them. Might be faulty or something. Btw, Crystal Vision Ultra is good as well. Forgotten to introduce them to you before.

I first bough the CV ultra 4k, popped them in and though it match ok with my stock xenons, But i just had to get the CV 43k to see how they were. A couple of month later, I put on my CV ultra again just to compared with the CV43k and for some odd reason the CV ultra looked like stock when all light are on. Maybe it was just my xenon color shifting making it look more a white blue than white yellow when it was new. Nothing put out more lightput than the stock foglight bulbs. When changing bulbs for the fogs it more for looks than anything else.

I gotta totally agree with you. There's seldom any fog in my country and hence its more for looks. I usually cruise around with just the eyelids and fogs on in the evening.

Ahhhh much better! lol Getting a nice steady beam of light from both headlights and foglights with the Crystal Vision Ultras. The actual light output actually isn't all that bad either...not MUCH less than the stock bulbs. Also the Polargs are MUCH less blue than they were last night! Guess they "settled in" after some use. The match isn't exact...but it's close enough.

Finally this light bulb fiasco is over haha

Thanks again for all the help guys!

Well if you ever need another pair of CV Ultra, I have some used ones for sale. They were used less than an hour. Before I swap them out.

Hi there Royce118, would you let me know what brand and type bulbs you are using in your fog lights and eyelids? All your bulbs seem to match perfectly! Thanks!

Hey thanks. I'm using Polargs on the eyelids and Philips Diamond Visions on both my lows and fogs.
