Can someone post the link to the E92-lighting sight? I emailed the ebay seller and he said I only need 2 bulbs, one per side. Just placed my order. Is it a simple process to swap them out? Thanks.

Does anyone know what the Kelvin rating of the stock angel eye bulbs are? Sounds like there is some consensus that the 4750k is a nice white color without being too blue of the higher (6000k and above) are. I'm just curious if anyone knows - I'm guessing something in the 3000-3500k range?

Got my bulbs today. Quality control isn't good, or I've got a dud. One bulb is fine other is no different the OEM bulb. Even though they look identical they burn at different temperatures. Take a look.

Do I use a small screwdriver to release the clips on the OEM bulbs? Don't want to take a chance and break anything. Thanks.

Install was a piece of cake. Pics attached, but not the greatest. First one shows the difference in the 2 bulbs. Next 2 are with the new bulbs installed.

Big improvement over stock but looks a little yellow for the MTEC cosmos blue or did you get the superwhite ones?
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...ht=cosmos+blue Apparently some people have had mixed results mainly due to fake/imitation bulbs being sold. |

I think it is 4350. Pic does not reveal the proper color. They are much whiter than the OEM bulbs. I'll take a pic tonight without a flash.

Mmm interesting, it could just be the camera then. The packaging looks genuine to me too.
A bit OT, but I will never forget the time I bought some Gilette fusion blades from a seller on ebay with a high rep. EVERYTHING looked genuine. They even had the serial number imprinted on the blades. I couldn't tell the difference. Then I went to use one - I received a lot of cuts. Strange I thought. I still perservered. Then one day about a couple of weeks later I dropped the shaver in the shower (usually happens!) and when I went to pick it up, I found the ebay blade had snapped in half. This got me REALLY suspicious so I did more research on the net and after a few hours I discovered the serial numbers were related to fake blades. The blades were cheap steel made in a chinese factory (apparently evidenced by the tiny random casting dots on the face of the blades). They were indeed 100% fake blades, packaging the whole works. I complained to Ebay, the seller and Paypal, eventually receiving a refund. Last edited by Alext; 10-09-2010 at 05:34 PM.. |
