The "blue bulbs" that look like xenon's???

My 1999 C2 does not have xenons and I would like to install these bulbs but I'm scared of melting my housing. Does anyone have any experience regarding these (or similar) bulbs? EBAY ITEM NUMBER 300199971631 Thanks

Yep I used them for Low Beam, High Beam and Fog (H7 x6) and from the same seller (recommended seller). So the auction is for 1 set (2 bulbs). I would buy 6 or more as that will complete your setup and/or give you spares and you will get a price break (or at least you should, just let him know you are going to buy more sets and he will hook you up, I hope). Now I didn't do a lot of driving at night, probably th emost was a 3 hour trip. But I did not have any problem with heat build-up and I had the clear 3M film on my lense too. I believe these are cool enough (temperature wise) that you will not see a melt down. I liked the result much better too

Worthless, worse than worthless, "blue" light isn't as visible to the human eye. Get true hy/lo HID kit, 4300K, for ~$100 ..... And why are you interested, AT ALL interested, in what an oncoming driver sees AT NIGHT as you approach...??

I have them in my '99 C2 with the blue 4300Kelvin option and love the look coming from my arctic silver car. Note that when you talk about degrees Kelvin this refers to the colour temperature spectrum and not actual heat emitted...and here is the misconception. The difference lies between how the light is produced. In a Halogen system, the light is produced just like in a light bulb, ie, the tungsten filament is heated inside a Halogen gas filled bulb. In an HID system, the Xenon gas makes a reaction with an electrical arc. It takes only 35W of electrical power for 3200 Lumens of light from the HID and it takes 55W of power to produce 1000 Lumens of light from the Halogen . More use of power generates more exothermal heat and by extension HID systems should provide longer bulb life.

I am not interested in how others see my car, I just wanted a better night vision. On saturday we just traded our 2002 Audi A6 for a 2005 A4 3.0Q UltraSport and the new car has xenons and the difference is like night and day.

The blue bulbs will produce less light. If you're really concerned about better night vision then stick with the regular halogens or upgrade the lights with the Litronics Retrofit Kit for MY 99-01 cars.

Or a $100 HID upgrade. This is only effective if you have the projector lenses. You need to do the whole kit for 2002 and earlier 996s.

Then you certainly don't want blue-painted bulbs. Painting the bulbs results in a filter that strips much of the light from the spectrum, leaving only the blue portion to see by, or to NOT see by, as the case is with these. Stay FAR away from these things...this is rice racer ****, not deserving to be put on a Porsche.

Actually the bulbs he is looking at, the ones I had, produced better light especially when driving through the delta roads when there is no moon, they worked and looked a lot better than stock. Now I went this route because I did not want to fork out $$$'s for the Litronics, and was not aware of a HID upgrade for $100. Painted they are not. Ricer, whatever, you only saw them at night and who cares if it looks like an import, just as long as they do what you want them to do which is give you better light, and again they do. OP, you can give it a shot if you want, all I can say is I did and was not disappointed with the result.
