harbor freight head light bulbs

[goldeninja20]

I would like to know what you guys think about them. I have them for my high beams. They are pretty cheap and i love the white color they give off. I am choosing between hids or these. I dont really like hids because the ballast in the engine bay, im trying to keep it clean. Are thse lights bright. Do any of you have a picture of them on? Are they fairly reliable? This would be a nice spot for reviews on them.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some cheap one time tools from Hazard Fraught. However, you get what you pay for. These lights might burn for 10 to 12 bumps in the road or 6 months. YMMV

I have a boost gauge installed in my car from Harbor freight. hahaha It is getting removed as soon as I find time to install my innovate mtx-L. So far it seems to work fine It just looks really cheap, But it was in the car when I purchased it. Try them out but if you are a stickler for quality or even want to see at night dont use them.

these could run along the same path as HF fuses. hf fuses will hold significantly more amperage than rated for, and have been the source of many a car problem, including a couple burn downs.

bulbs could work fine, but you may start popping fuses. could also burn out prematurely. since its a fused circuit and not a fuse itself, they might be ok, but i personally wouldnt run them.

id build some covers for the ballasts or tuck them under somewhere. but i dont know much bout hids personally.

Hf must have really stepped up their game if you are comparing HIDs to their regular bulbs

I have the high beams and i think they are amazing. I have had them for a year. They are a white light. I will go get a pic of them for you now. I obviously like hids but for the money i think the hf bulbs keep up.

The blue filmed bulb is harbor freight. Clear is the old one. I would also like to add that the bulb gives your headlight a blue tint when the bulb is off. This is also another reason why i want to run them. I tried my best to get a picture of the original and then the harbor freight but my camera wouldnt get the difference. THE HARBOR FREIGHT HIGH BEAMS ARE A COMPLETE WHITE, while the original are yellowish. I want to know how the low beams are though. These only cost 6 dollars a piece and is deffinetly worth it for your high beams.
