Default Nokya 7000k low beam H11 lights for '08 tC

I just ordered some Nokya 7000k H11 bulbs for replacements in my projectors on my 08 tC. I know HID is SIGNIFICANTLY better, but this is all $$ allowed for now. I've read a few places that these bulbs do a good job of lighting like an HID, but also have the issue of burning the wires associated with the headlamp. Has anyone used these bulbs and can say anything about them? Any help would be greatly appriciated

Yes, I personally am using the 7000K Stage II (9005/9006) bulbs in my car for a little over a year now, they are great and VERY bright, people constantly ask me how much I paid for my HID kit...haha Great Bulbs - Great Price!

while they might work for you for a bit, i think you should have just saved a bit longer for the HID kit... but let us know how the cutoff is and stuff...

i haven't heard of anyone using 'Nokya' bulbs, but there is some other brand here that keeps burning peoples stuff up...

my HID kit came with a relay and only uses one of the stock plugs...

I absolutely love my nokya 2500k or 3000k (i forget which) bulbs in my fogs. They're yellow-er? than any other bulb i have ever seen.

This is a high wattage bulb so it may not apply, but generally...
A tinted bulb is like tinted windows...no one tints their windows for more light; it blocks it.
