Are they shielded bulbs, I hope?

If not, you’re going to need to work something out…you won’t be happy with unshielded bulbs in our H4 housings (nor will oncoming drivers)…even using our H4 housings and shielded bulbs is considered faux to some…

I have my doubts but for sure go ahead and see how they come out and take it from there.

As for the little blue bulb, not sure - i’ve seen them on eBay H4 housings and not sure if they want it hooked up to parking lights, hi-beam, DTRL or what…

Why did you buy, 12 000 Kelvin High Intensity Discharge lighting for your automobile.

Are you _that_ much of a ricer, and _that_ willing to have _worse_ lighting.
