If so, were they hard to install?
Any tips on brands?
Pics would be useful too.
Thanks

Yes, but how much did those cost? $500?
I'm looking for a cheap and unique look, and they have to work better than stock too...

I'm using the Naxos Xenon Blue since 2 weeks ago...... they looks nice and easy installation. H1 and H7 bulbs for Me and about US$25 each pair. Don't know if any other people are using them and their experience with them/?

But for Me they are http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Blue coated bulbs don't work better than stock, they are actually dimmer due to the coating. They may look "whiter" and possibly "cooler" to some, but the actual output is pretty abmissal. Stick with your stock bulbs if you want to see well at night.
