Nokya 9007 Cosmic White Stage 2 5000K Halogen Headlight / Fog Light Bulb

4 stars for 1 legit reason:1. A legit issue I had with these bulbs when installing on a 96 Ford Explorer - the bulb tabs are off key for the locking rings. The bulbs went into the housing fine, but when it came time to put the locking rings on the problem occurred. This was 3 weeks ago, so I might be off on my actual procedure of install, but I believe I had to "slightly" insert the bulb into the housing, slide the locking ring over the bulb base, then push the bulb in as I rotated the ring to line up the tabs to the headlight housing. A slight pain the butt IMO. Was not a drop in install like other aftermarket or OEM bulbs, but I figured it out.2. Not a legit issue of the products performance, but I was looking for a color hue of the old APC Super White Frost that was sold 10 years or so ago and no longer in production. This is a rainbow bulb, which is why I gave it a try, but it doesn't have enough RED in the rainbow to match the APC model. Again, a personal issue, not a product performance issue at all. I'd give them the 5K rating as advertised.

These bulbs are not even close to stock wattage little lone the 80/100 they are claiming. Silverstar zxe is 100 times brighter. If I could I would give this a negative rating, if I sold these in the part store I work at I would get these thrown at me for even suggesting that they are bright.... this is a joke would not even make a good fog light little lone a headlight!!!!

Love the color and look but definitely not as bright as stock bulbs were. Good for shows or looks but not for night time driving as I expected.
