Default Stealth Bulbs!

My new turning bulbs came today. I don't think they are the legit "stealth bulbs" but more of an ebay knock off. I'll let ya all know how they work though

I'd show you them in my car, but right now it's under several inches of snow and ice

Here's what it looks like compared to the original.



Install pic coming soon

Hopefully not, but they could be similar. I'll find out soon!

Well I'm dissapointed to say that I'm experiencing the same issues as Zach did with his bulbs. The light output is horrible. They look amazing off though!

Here a few pics. The left bulb is stock, the right bulb is the chrome ebay bulb.

Don't mind the dirtyness :p it's the middle of winter..


Facing into the sun it is pretty worthless.

Lights on:



Stock Bulb:



Chrome Ebay Bulb:



Facing away from the sun it isn't too bad.

Flashers:



Lights on:



Lights off, Chrome bulb:



Lights off, Stock bulb:



I love the look of the no 'egg yolk' the bulbs provide though. Exactly what I'm going for.




Does anyone else have experience with stealth bulbs? Recommendations?
