Question Good or Bad?

http://216.82.69.117/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=9005SWH


I'm lookin' for new 9005s for my high beams, but the Pep Boys are being bitches and they don't what i'm lookin' for (Silverstars or CoolBlues) in stock...

So i was lookin' around online and stumbled across those. My question is...are they really 100W? And if they are, will they burn-out quicker? Or are there better bulbs

Uhm first things first, don't shop at Pepboys.

I think 100w would be oh just a little illegal.

Worked fine for me - I ran 100watt bulbs for a year with no problems. Probably is not safe though.

Sounds good. My friend hooked me up w/ a pair earlier today since he works @ Autozone.

One thing i've noticed is that they run considerably hotter than normal headlights, so i'm thinking that that's a sign that they'll cause some damage later one...

Anywho...i see that you're from Santa Barbara. I'm from Oak Park...it's about an hour south (take the 101) from SB...around Thousand Oaks and Agoura.

Sorry... Random comment
