For all those who asked:

These do not require any upgraded wiring or harnesses. They are plug and play with any H4/9003 housing.

I've ridden in front of my own car. It doesn't blind me. Also, I have yet to be flashed.

High-beams don't put out any more light. They just redirect the light to aim higher (and subsequently further). That's why it blinds people.

The Holocaust has as much to do with headlight bulbs as headlight bulbs have to do with anti-aircraft lasers.

btw, to be on topic...i hope those bulbs are 55W, 'cause that is how much the Honda wires & electrical parts will take...if they are stronger, you would have to upgrade the wiring & resistors, or you might end up in dark!!

They are 55W. You're an idiot for thinking the only way to improve light output is to increase the wattage. I don't use "hyper-white" bulbs, I don't use increased wattage bulbs, I don't use bulbs and headlights without diffusers, I don't use PnP HID kits. I know quite a bit more about automotive lighting than you (at least enough to know you've got zero clue what you're talking about), and I'd appreciate you not cluttering up my thread with shit about Nazi's and shooting down planes.

GTFO.

i really think you are right...what the f..k do i know about light?!

well only thing i know how to upgrade the shity headlamps in 5&6gen is to buy one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem
those are projection lights with lenses...that will certainly get rid of all your problems with the illumination!!


p.s. don't get me wrong, I love Honda...only that they used to have the shity headlights and shity brakes then the rest of the cars in their class!!

Those lights you have listed will yield worse results than a fogged up stock headlight with an OEM bulb. Please stop posting garbage in my thread.

No, it wasn't. Try doing a bit of research.

Honestly, this is some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've read here recently.

Obviously, incredibly little. Judging from your comments in this thread, that ignorance extends to other topics as well.

When I ordered my Vision Plus's, I believe it took a bit more than a week. The shipping from Autolamps is very prompt considering it's international.

Once they finally shipped out, t took exactly seven business days, just like they said

Now that they have a steady stock of these, it shouldn't be more than 10-12 calender days.
