Default Luminics Krypton Ultra Whites

I just ordered these yesterday with the wire harness. Has anyone bought these yet? I'll post pics when I get them :D

Just something to be aware of, they might be OK now.

Other than the harness issues (which you ordered the upgrade anyways), they should at least look nice. The only concern I would have after seeing some of their Hyper White photos is actual light output... it may go down slightly. Not sure though.

I've seen pics of just the Ultra Whites, but I haven't seen any for the Krypton Ultra Whites yet. These have a bigger bulb so hopefully they will be bright.

It seems my stock ones arn't as bright as they should be, but I'm use to looking at my gf Maxima with projectors.

i had the ultra whites with the upgraded harnesses. light output did go down (which isn't much of a concern of mine, we have a lot of street lights) and they look really nice. The only problem is that one of the bulbs burnt out in less than six months. no i didn't touch the glass.

i also ordered from luminicsdirect. they said they would replace my bulb (1yr warranty) but i've been too lazy to send it back.

its called having more then 55w running through your harness, which is only intended to have 55w running through it. its similiar to baking some goodies in the oven at a temperature that is about 200 degrees hotter then it should be, it will get burnt, like your friend's harness...get the plug and play, its cheap and well worth it

I installed the lights in today. Was it worth it? YES!

they are brighter than the stock and view distance doubled. I'll take some pics tomorrow when I get my camera back from a friend.
