thru a stupid mistake on my part, i ended up with both sets for 30bucks total, including shipping. obviously not a $100 true h.i.d. setup, but anyone have experience with these? regardless of what the ad says, will they melt stuff? did i just waste 30 bucks?

What's the wattage?

That is important that you keep it in range to what your stocks are. Otherwise you chance burning up your wiring.

I think they're both full of shit... as far as I know... Xenon is what's used in HID lights... which require balasts... those obviously have fillimints... so they're nothing more than halogen lights... they're probably just colored LIGHT BLUE to make them seem brighter.

if you want a brighter bulb with out going HID... go PIAA... I have them in my bike right now... outstanding bulbs. had Silverstar's before that... the PIAA's were like adding another bulb in terms of brightness...

Now I'm going to HID though...
