do a search, they were extremely problematic bulbs (melting harnesses ans such), guy was telling us that we must be plugging them in wrong.

you don't have to get HID's, i just don't trust those bulbs with all the bad feedback they got.

also, it isn't like they're the only game in town, there are lots of other companies that make yellow bulbs. or you can put yellow overlays on your foglights.

I had Luminics bulbs for a while, they were great (color and output wise) for a few weeks then they started flickering and then both blew out at the same time on my way home from a concert. They were the purple ish ones... can't remember what they called the color though. Search your local car parts store, you can usually find yellow bulbs

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM LUMINICS. I had so many problems and headaches, I don't want you to go through the same mess.

I am now using the Neon Yellow Krypton bulbs from autolumination.com
They are rated as the same wattage as the stock bulbs and cost only $3.49 each!

I use the same brand as Patrick (kingxofxska). I have had both the auto illumination bulbs and luminics bulbs. Luminics bulbs are HORRIBLE. They burn out easily, don't last long, and fry wiring harnesses (unless you get their "special" wiring harness)...and that's just their bulbs. Ttheir customer service is bad, too (want a refund? TOO BAD, BECAUSE THE COMPANY NEVER ANSWERS THEIR EMAIL/TELEPHONE/ANYTHING).

Really, just stick with anything BUT Luminics.
