I know I know... Hazard Fraught shit sucks. Okay. Forget it for a moment.
Couple months ago, my local store was selling off all their Road Shock Super-White H4 headlight bulbs for like a buck a piece. I currently run Hella H4 conversion buckets, so I bought two of these bulbs. however, I also recently picked up a set of US Ellipsoids, with plans for HID. so last night I put my new Harbor freight H4 bulbs in my hellas, because I won't be able to use these bulbs with the ellipsoids, so rather than waste them in the meantime, might as well use em till they die.
I was skeptical of the packaging claims: '100% street legal' 'closer to color of actual sunlight' 'Xenon look'. And with the overall quality of most of the store's other products, I didn't expect much. maybe just a standard replacement bulb, only with a blue coating.
Let me just say, I have to post pictures at some point because words arent worth much, but... holy hell. they're for real. these things, no lie, look like a 5000k HID kit. they don't seem any BRIGHTER than my old bulbs.... but they are definately wayyy WHITER. they look really good, both inside and outside the car, and the difference between old and new bulb is very noticable. also, because the bulbs have blue glass, they give the headlight bucket a blue-eye look during the day from the right angle, but it looks kinda neat.
Furthermore, at $1 apiece, i would be happy if I get 2 months out of them. That said, they also carry these same bulbs in a 9006, which i think is what the ellipsoids take. they usually sell these bulbs for like 6 or 7 dollars a piece, but honest to god they do work as advertised. Granted I have used them for just one night, so I can't attest to their longevity or anything else, but I would reccomend this product any day. I'm very impressed.
I will post pics soon, and also update when one burns out.
