At least with my Silver Xtremes, I have a lifetime gaurantee.
Anyhow, cool pics!

I've those $4-5 bulbs have a cheap paint job that would actually fade in due time.
And about advertising... I only wish. Trust me, after the work I just did on my ride, I could use the extra loot.
Anyhow, all I know is that with my Silver Xtremes, I have a lifetime guarantee. As long as the company doesn't go bottoms-up, I'll have some support.
BTW, anyone going to Importfest?

I had actually bought a pair off of Ebay before, and they looked like they were painted with a can of spray paint. I used them for about a week, and then I email the seller from Ebay, and requested a refund. Needless to say, he did not honor one, so I just tossed it.
I dont' mind paying $10 or so more to get something that is good quality and comes with a warranty.
That's just me...

Rep Power: 788 BUMP. I'm really considering getting a few sets for my signals and markers. The orange reflection is horrible during the day. Anyone else have some pics or info?
Um nevermind. I'm not paying $40 for bulbs. Anyone know a cheaper place?
Just picked some up from autolumination for $15 (2x 7443, 2x 194).

Rep Power: 248 Not quite.. but they're still pretty bright. I'd say approx. 75-85% brightness of stock. They're perfectly visible at night time.. and slightly dimmer during the day, nothing overly noticeable though

Rep Power: 788 Alright thanks. I got em for the front signals and also some small 194 for sidemarkers. We'll see. I like how my current ones look at night, but during the day they're bad reflecting everywhere.
Oh and I've seen a luxury car with some kind of cap over the turn signal bulb so it didn't reflect. Still looked bright when they were on tho. Similar to the headlight one. I wonder if that's possible to build?
