I just installed some 8500K Xenon bubls in my headlights and 4500K Xenon Yellow bulbs in my fogs and they look pretty nice. Got them on ebay super cheap and they are bright as hell. Check these out

WOW! Those be bright!

I know My friend has a G6 and after seeing mine I had to order a set for hers LOL. I would have to say going to HID would be the next step brighter. But for $15 a set shipped and a liftime warranty (They will replace them for $6) its a steal.

Where can you get these?!??

Here's what I bought but not from Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...22786The Good #1: The look great! #2: I paid $5 for mine (regular $10) so when they blow it won't cost a fortune to repalce!The Bad #1: 300hrs life! #2: Ebay ones are overpriced! #3: Nice colour but overall I thing the stock bulbs light up more.

keep an eye on your wireharness for burning. being they are 80watt

They've been in there for a little over a month now and havn't had any problems. Even with some extended nighttime highway runs (4hrs +).

If I were you I'd still keep an eye on them...I put 80w bulbs in my Sunfire a few years ago and they ran fine for a while until a bulb quit working. I took the bulb out only to find a melted harness.

8500K Xenon Bulbs for low, 4500K for fogs?I feel like this is flawed. Here are my reasons (without looking up these bulbs).1) 8500K is going to be pretty blue if not purplish in hue, no light benefit as the K is Kelvin which is temperature and not light output which is Lumens. Therefore you are seeing more light as apparent, not actual. Colored glass or film bulbs have much shorter lifespans. And driving in rain or other weather only deteriorates their use further. 2) 4500K is not yellow. In the Kelvin scale yellow would be in the 3000-3500 range. 4500K is close to natural daylight, most HID systems from manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Acura) use I believe either 4230 or 4320K for their bulbs. The coloring you see after that is from the lenses they use in the projector. So 4500K being yellow does not really make sense. 3) Kelvin scale and halogen bulbs do not go together for anything other than appearance. Which if you are going for that, then great. But Lumens is the real output which a lot of these aftermarket bulb people fail to put on their packaging. That is the true scale for lighting. Remember Kelvin is a temperature scale based on coloring. Lumens is light output as perceived by the human eye. You want to go by Lumens when looking for proper lighting.

Either way I like them.

I took the bulb out only to find a melted harness. Yes, but it is a 9006 socket, quite common. I looked at it today after driving with the lights on, put my hand on it ect. Looks fine and was only warm. Here's hoping nothing fries!!!
