I'd bid, but the box says "RacingR", so I refuse. Looks good though.

They use real JDM typeR light rays. Much faster than cheap american light. When you drive racing stripe/giant spoiler fast you better have typeR headlights. Oh yeah and LED's on every removable object.

Just kidding, I heard they burn out your headlight wiring though, so I'd re wire with bigger guage just to be safe.

If you are using the stock fuse, they are not using more power than the stock wiring can provide.

Typically a stock H6054 headlamp draws just under 5 ampere.

The 100 watt H4 bulb draws 8 ampere if it is really a 100 watt bulb (and most "100 watt" H4 bulbs really are only 60 watt with a blue coating).

Anyway, a additional 6 watts total draw over both stock bulbs draw is very little all and all.

I bought some lights like those from ebay, and I think they suck. I don't believe I bought from the same person as you, but mine were horrible. The headlamps themselves looked very rice (not nice), and they projected like a spotlight. It looked like I was driving with 2 spotlights shining on the center of the road, and they didn't project off to the side at all. Also, the lights were Matrix Ultra Whites(I think) and boy did they look blue. Not as bad as some blue lights, but they looked nothing like HID's like they claimed on the package. I ended up going down to Pep Boys and just buying Sylvania Halogen XtraVision lights and they light up the road 10 times as good as those ebay lights.

These are the lights I bought, although they did not come with the Matrix lamps like these do. They just came with the Matrix bulbs. They had some kind of Japanese lamps with them that had crazy Japanese to English translations on them. Anyway, they are not worth $20 in my opinion, much less the $50 that they cost.

$20 each, $40 for the set. There just basically regular halogen lights, but they are supposed to be brighter with a better design to distribute light a little better. Nothing fancy at all, but better than the ebay lights.

well sorry to hear about your bad experience but i can tell a major difference with mine. now i dont even turn on my fog lights anymore cuz of the color difference on the road. the fog lights are yellowish and the new headlights are a whole lot more white . if you look at the headlights them selves they look blue. and the bulbs are really blue
