Hell of a lot better than $250 for similarly bright LEDs and possibility of AHL errors.
I know what I'm putting on my santa list.

The night pic looks good, but the day pic looks stock again. The price is good over the competition, but not 100% sure.
Can you grab some more pics outside, as i do agree it could just be the lighting |

I just checked and noticed that too. I think there was only one buyer who was selling them though, so he might just be getting more at this point. |

After much debate I went with PIAA yellow bulbs. As much as I love the clean bright white look I don't like how it clashes with the amber corners so figured may as well embrace the yellow and go all out. The stock halos aren't even amber but more like a faint piss yellow lol. Will post pics after I receive them but here's how it looks on someone else's car I found

I looked at the LUX ambers too but not into that "demonic" dark orange look. I prefer the neon yellow... plus these bulbs are in stock and can be had for less than $60 shipped. |

Cannot beat that. Looking forward to some pics once you have them installed.

WOW those yellow bulbs look great! Nevermind the bright white ones, yellow looks awesome on the black car in the picture.

I installed the Plasma Yellows today, what a b!tch of an install. Not sure if its because I didn't have any tools on me (10mm socket would've helped with driver side to clear some stuff out of the way) but by the time I finished, was too tired/frustrated to try to fix things. So driver side looks great, passenger side outer bulb is on the dim side. I think I have to check the connection again but I'll reserve for another day. Daytime shots:
Driver Side Good Passenger Side Overall Dimmer, outer bulb especially... will fix another day |

My hands still hurt lol, will try again later but assuming I can get both sides to even out I'll be very happy with the results.

I installed the same lights as the OP. They definitely produce a nice white light compared to the factory yellow light.
Very fast shipping from the ebay link posted too....Cali to MA in two days! |

Messed around with it after work. The bulb was a little loose, made sure it was properly seated and now both sides are even. If for any reason it appears uneven it's just the angle of the picture but they are definitely now the same!

That looks really good! Love it how it lights both coronas up evenly. Question: what bulb lights up the white strip?
