Review on πŸ’‘ Innovited H11 H9 H8 30000k HID Xenon Replacement Bulbs Lamp in Deep Blue for Enhanced Visibility by Adam Huper

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointing purchase cheap for a good reason

Bought these five months ago as my other HID set was in Fritz and when I received them I found the plugs didn't match my ballasts initially and I finally had to jump in for new ballasts too. When I received the ballasts advertised as compatible with these bulbs, I found that the spark plugs didn't actually fit my truck (a 2010 Silverado 1500), even though it was advertised as such. I had to make some adjustments to get them working properly, but they worked. The bulbs barely fit in the compartment, and I tugged at my hands and wrists trying to fit them in without damaging the bulb. About five months. I started having problems after about two or three months because the lamp's base was rubbing against the frame and exposing the power cord, causing it to short out every time I turned the light on. I fixed it by gluing, although I couldn't put the boot that comes with the wire knot on the end of the bulb because there wasn't enough room in the compartment. Then again, after about five months of use, I noticed that when I started the car, one side or the other would alternately refuse to turn. I wasn't sure if it was related to the daylight sensor or not, but after manually turning the light on a few times it usually finally came on. Eventually that didn't work either, and it turned out that one side just didn't work anymore. I unplugged the ballasts and bulbs, threw them in the bin and put my standard bulbs back in and everything is working fine now. I noticed that the lighting was a nice soft blue and looked decent, but terribly impractical because I could barely see the road. After reinstalling my standard bulbs I definitely saw a big difference. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
