thats cheap, are they ecode or sae type lights?

I paid 49.99 shipped for the ecode with 100watt bulbs.

ecode is flat vs. the round face of the sae type, and supposedly works better, im not a light guru at all so I dont know the specifics, but I know my lights are BRIGHT!!! 35.00 is a screamin good deal and im sure people will hit that guy up for them, thanx.

First let me point out that I am a big fan of these, and I do think these are a great price, but with an "H4" conversion there are 2 parts. The housing that replaces the sealed beam type light, and the bulb itself. The quality of each makes a huge difference. H4 is just a bulb style, i.e. 9004, 9003, 9006. On that thread they are comparing these to "halogen" lights, most H4's you will find are halogen as far as I know. Also it looks in that picture that there may be some of the infamous dichroic blue bulbs in there, which in my opinion (and the opinion of medical science) actually reduce vision. Now with the replacement housing, you can go all the way and use H4 replacement style HID's too, but that is still several hundred dollars last time I looked.

 

Anyway, I have seen both, a nice 7" round glass conversion housing and a good halogen bulb, and cheap plastic conversion housings and cheap (not price wise though) dichroic blue bulbs. The former is a dramatic improvement in lighting, the latter is not.

 

One other thing, I am not saying all the plastic housings are cheap and poorly designed, there may be good plastic ones too....

 

MHO and experience,
