WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

The product arrived fairly well packaged and on time. If you are a fan of PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow H8 bulbs which are now discontinued. Here is your answer. They give a very similar golden yellow color at higher power. Brightness is closer to that of a 55-watt incandescent bulb than a typical 35-watt H8. Because it's LED, power consumption is only 14 watts per bulb, so you shouldn't have problems with overheated wires or broken body control modules. I've always advised people to be careful when installing LED bulbs as they may not work well/beam pattern may not be correct and may even blind oncoming traffic due to the design of the bulb compared to the reflector of your bulb assembly. In my case they worked well, mainly due to the fact that the LEDs were in roughly the same position as the lamp's filament. THIS MAY NOT BE RANDOM IN ALL APPLICATIONS, CHECK YOUR BEAM FUNCTIONING AFTER INSTALLATION. Also remember that LED bulbs don't always blend well with other parts of your vehicle. They can interfere with radio reception and even prevent you from starting the car with the button if the headlights are on before trying to start the car. This is due to possible RF interference, which is not uncommon in this price range. With 40 years of professional automotive experience I can tell you yes these things are possible. The manufacturer mentions a temperature control. It is not clear if this relates to the cooling fins or if derating can be used to reduce the temperature of the LED bulbs. If the latter is true, you may notice that the output power decreases as the lamps start to overheat. It would be okay to protect her. When power management is applied, you will find that this is more the case in warmer climates and less so in colder climates or during winter. Another issue is durability. This remains to be seen. Given how well these lamps have worked for me they get 5 stars for now and I will edit this review as needed in the future. If the lamps in this price range last at least a year, I'm satisfied. For those who are unfamiliar with this output color. And the following comments are subjective. But for me, the golden yellow edition offers the best contrast in all weather conditions, but especially in rainy or snowy events. It also makes pavement more visible in the rain and helps road markings (painted lines and markers) really stand out. This color should not be used as a spotlight as in that case it may be illegal (e.g. in Pennsylvania) and they will not give the same distance/range coverage as a regular white bulb. For this reason, other colors such as blue (if you hold a piece of paper in front of the lamp assembly and the center is blue then it is a blue tinted lamp) and purple should never be used for headlights as they degrade performance and do not provide it enough high beam. Some lamps that appear blue to the eye, like HID in the correct Kelvin range and some of the DOT compliant PIAA lamps, will have this white center if you do the paper test as above.
