At least with my Silver Xtremes, I have a lifetime gaurantee.

Same bulbs as me? How?

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?

Quality vs. Cheap!

Not sure what kind of bulbs you have, but the ones I have don't appear to be spray painted. They look almost as if the silver is part of the natural glass. Of course, we know they were painted, but it's very clean. I've tried scratching the glass with my nails, and nothing.

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...

Guy, who ever said anything about my bulbs being cheap (as in quality)? Yes, they were a "cheap" price, but there's no signs of lesser quality........ yet hehe.. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong, otherwise, if you don't hear from me, that means the bulbs are still doing its job

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).

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

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?

I've got hyperwhite signal bulbs. During the day they are as blue as anything, at night, they are bright, bright white. AWESOME.
