What do you guys think of these bulbs here

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00480KPLW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

It is for our Aspen, we wont be able to afford getting Hids right now so we thought about getting theses. What do you guys think about em, are they brighter and whiter than stock a well worth improvment? Is this a great ALT to HIDS for now, and are these worth it and pretty much just a whole lot brighter and wider too(Better light output). Any pics of these bulbs in your guys GPs or other cars would be much appreciated.

Also our fogs will be left stock since we cant find anything for them ( the bulb # is 9145 ) that can match it or be brighter so will it look stupied or bad if they headlight is differ from the fogs? I saw these sylvania light bulbs on amazon its like 17$ per bulb and i dont know if they are brighter and better than the stock or not. So what do you guys think?
 


i had silvanyia silverstars i was pretty happy with them they were pretty pricey tho i paid $33 with a discount
 
I wasn't impressed with my Philip's Extreme's. They didn't seem much better than the Silverstar Extra Vision bulbs that I had before them. Not worth the $30 bucks I spent IMO.
 
Do you guys know if this bulb comes wsith the hi and low beam in one? The H13 on my Aspen is a H13 9008 which has a hi and low in one, have you guys bought any of them that are H13? Pic or vids would be very helpful like showing a differ in stock to these philips.

The sylvanias are like 40$ on amazon where as the philips extreme power ones are 30$
 


sylvanias blow. like badly. i say read this:

Brightest 9007 bulb


i use philips vision plus and theyre way brighter then your average off the shelf bulb. i say go with these, 15 bucks aint much.
 
I got Phillips Extremes for the headlights and honestly I did notice a slight difference but it wasnt a whole lot. However I got Phillips (i think extreme) for my fogs and HOLY S*** they are super bright. I dont even drive on the road with them on due the fact that they are aimed like up to high and I cant adjust them lower but they work great for when I drive through the woods at night.
 
I cant find any philips bulbs for my fogs, the part number is 9145 if any of you guys can find one good one.

the link is very imformative but does not mention anything about the one i have the H13/9008. So you guys think these bulbs are worth getting since i wont be able to getting HID for months? Also they say the life of these bulbs are very little, how little are we talking and can they last ATLEAST 2 years? i know stock bulbs can.

EDIT:: Forgot to mention when i order these bulbs i can fill out a Mail-in Rebate that i get after 6 weeks. The Rebate gives me back a check of 10$, so now is it worth it?
 
I take back what I say about me having the Phillips Extreme in the fogs. Im pretty sure they are Phillips Crystal Vision Ultras. Yes I got bent over on the price at O'Reilys but they are awesome.
These I think are what would fit in yours. Philips H10/9145 45w CVB1 x 1PC Foglight CrystalVision Bulbs Super White Lamp C2 | eBay Id double check with someone at a parts store or someone who knows a little more about them. I know I walked into O'Reilys and asked some guy there some questions and he showed me them and I will never go back. Ever.
 
Ya O'reilys around here sucks best stores around here are autozone, ya thanks for the link ill look inot it if they both are the same so i can look for some good ones on Amazon and buy em. So are they pretty bright?
 


Over what I had in for the ones before, yes. Maybe my previous ones were just absolutely terrible but these were definitely an improvement. Those are slightly different than the ones I have seeing as how the part numbers are different but that should be the same style.
 
Ya the thing guys at autozone told me is the wattage and volts and how much the plugs can handle, but it should be good ill look em up. Later ill post if both bulbs are worth it because its 30$ for the phillips here but ill get a 10$ Rebate in like 6 weeks.
 
Hey also forgot to mention see if you can get some pics of the fogs i want to see the differ and how bright they are and the light output. if you can get them i apprciate it when you got the time.
 
Ill see what I can do. I dont know if I have any pics to compare to with the old lights but i can get some with the new ones for ya.
 


I had Silverstar Ultra's and switched to Xtreme Power's. They are a bit brighter and seemed to shoot a bit further, but overall it wasn't a very noticeable upgrade. I didn't need new bulbs, so to me it was a waste of $30, but I would buy them again if I needed new bulbs.
 
Well ill be purchasing those bulbs in a little bit, anyone has anything else to say be fore i do in the next 10 mins?
 
30$ more? you mean 100$ more, its cost us 100$ for the HIDs and 200$ for both the fogs and headlights. So why not get these for now since we will need these lights for our trip up north from so cal and get better lighting or try to scrap up almost 200$ on the HIDS and have no spending money.

Beside i have already ordered them and lets see how great they are and ill post up pics on this thread when i get em and install them so you guys can choose to ge tthem or not if you guys dont have enough HIDs too. Thanks for all your guys opioins.
