they should be direct replacement.

I have heard light output from them is horrible though.

Yeah everyone who has bought them complain about the light output. I dont know of anyone who was truly satisfied with those lights.

they just look yellow and crummy they work well though still they are kinda aimed up which is annoying but its really good for distance. my bulbs are the same as when my uncle parked the car 7 years ago sylvania sliverstar i believe lol. i did polish them with rubbing compound and they just have deep crack id even go with new replacement ones if they work better but i just want a better look.

Those headlights suck.

Two beams of light is all you get.

They sure do look cool though.

My daughters Grand Prix where really yellow and I used rubbing compound and an orbital and they come out pretty good. I have heard the mothers kit with the drill attachment work good.
