They won't be that blue, just so you know. More like hyper white.
Won't beany brighter, either, possibly even a little dimmer.

i bought the exact same brand off of ebay but for my headlights not fogs....... there is barely a blue tinge to them, nothin like the pic..... but ya cant expect much from $10 ebay lights, they wont look like HID's.

on second thought... he does have 100% positive feedback
If I'd gamble and buy some lights from ebay, they'd be from him

I was actually looking for a led amber bulb to replace the driving light bulb, or do you guys think that would look stupid?

Get Hella's. I used to have Catz, but they aren't DOT approved and can't be sold in the states. When one burned out I bought Hella's. I like them almost as much as my Catz. They were like $25 for the pair.

I bought the ebay bulbs and they are brighter and they are a nice white. And its a helluva lot cheaper thn HIDs.

yeah, eurodezigns are not good bulbs. i had some of their fogs, and they lasted like a month before blowing out. but they do say if you send them the busted bulb and like $7, they will send you a new set...

I doubt they are the same wattage as your stock blubs, since they don't tell you what the wattage is

Make sure when you change the bulbs, DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB! Touching the bulb will cause hot spots and your bulb will die out very fast. I did that once, bulb lasted a week. :(

Do any of you guys have amber bulbs for fog lights? I can't find amber leds in that size.

I got those exact bulbs for fogs and headlights. The headlights look good slightly blue tint. The fogs look like the stockers, very yellow.

So then, what would be a good bulb that would be a one to one replacement for the stock bulb and need no modifications then?? I was thinking for low AND high beams??

Get HIDs, the only way to go. They are brighter, last longer, and just plan kick ass. worth every penny.

ANd, as I mentioned in my post, are they a direct replacement for the bulbs I have now? ie. I pull out my bulb and pop in the HID??

for the most part, yes. just gotta mount the ballasts. bulb plugs into ballasts, ballast plug into stock bulb harness.

What about amber bulbs. Then wire them to work along with turn signals like the Bonneville.
