Default anyone try these zzp bulbs?

http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...d=94&catid=101

I've been tempted to get them but id need the combo since my Monte is an 04 but I thought I would ask here first since I browse around quite a bit...so anyone have any experience or recommend a nice set of bulbs with that nice blueish tint to them for a decent price?

edit: sorry if I posted this in the wrong place on the forum, I wasn't sure where to put it

I once used xenon bulbs. The heat melted and fused my harnesses and created a fire danger.

I would just get silverstars or silverstar ultras. They appear to be expensive, but if you shop around you can get a set for $20

I moved your topic to the general tech spot, since detailing is more for cleaning the car

Depends on what you're wanting them for. You want them for the look of hte headlight, or for visibility. Ebay has some colored ones taht dont get too hot. Its not a deep color, just a little tint. I used somthing similar befor in my monte and didnt have a problem, BUT and a HUGE BUT, they were not 100W, they were 60W
