Really? How much did you buy them for.

Last time I checked, the 9005 were $23 per pair shipped. And the H11's were 26 shipped. Pretty cheap if you ask me.


**Update**

Just checked. It seems prices went up a bit. Now that I think about it don't 9005's pull more wattage than the H10's?

well i finally got the bulbs on the altima..damn we should be greatful for how easy it is to change our lights..it was a bitch for the altima.

well i have few pics but they arnt that good ill put them up later if u guys really want but i was impressed
not really any blue tint to it but it was very white and very bright.. could have been easily been mistaken for HIDs..if u look at them they look as if they are HIDs but if u looks at the floor u can tell that they obviously aint..

all in all..if u want a bright pure white light the the ultra white is good for u but if u want more of a bluish tint and are ok with it bein lil dimmer then the pure blue is better..

personally i liked my pure blues better

1) I am not a big fan of hyper white, as they tend to be bluish and
2) These luminics bulbs were not street legal when I last checked. Don't know if this is still the case.

And they are not brighter than stock, nothing is brighter than stock except HIDs of course.
I say that if you get them, buy them off their website, other wise check out http://www.scionlife.com/forums and search luminics (the search bar is really small on the top left), you will find a crap load of info on them.


sorry for OT but i am curiosu why do you get rid off your XA? i thought it is a nice car

I didn't really get rid of it, sorta. I gave it to my brother who lives under the same roof as me. So I still get to see it, sometimes drive it. He gave his Corrola to my mom so she could drive a newer car.

If you guys are installing 9005 for your fog lights.... aren't you afraid of the harness and wire burning since the stock wattage is 42, and the 9005 bulbs are 65 wattage.

Finally got all the lights changed, damn it looks nice... =)
