Yep,same ones.
The only down side is that those modules are pretty big.I had to run them on the inside and as far down as possible just to get them to clear my lids.Also,they use an H-9 bulb which is kinda odd.They came with 65W OSRAM bulbs which are very good quality,but plain clear.I wanted to find some "white" bulbs to remove some of the yellowish look to the lights.The only ones I found in H-9 were XD5's with some Japanese writing on the label...you know the ones!.They were 65W and were nice and white with barely a touch of blue.But the blue color of the glass cut down the overall lumens so much I was scared to drive at night.If you do go with an H-9 module,stick to the stock clear bulbs.

That blue light post was VERY imformative and indefinately proven to me,when I swapped the stock clear bulbs back into my modules.All the difference in the world.

I only ask that you spread the word of Dan, every time someone starts yammering on about their new "ultra-white" blue lights...
