Default Luminics Bulbs!

Is there anyone here that DOESN'T have a problem with the frying harness? It seems like almost everyone on here that has em has had a problem. I'm expecting my hyper whites to come in the mail soon but i'm having second thoughts on installing them. I don't really want to have to buy the beefier harness.

I had em for about 3/4 of a year and they blew. . . and it's just not worth the hassle to go through their warranty process to get them replaced (if they even still honor it). Besides, most of us never keep the receipts either.

luminics is ok. the only cool thing about the hyper white/pure blue bulbs is that it gives the headlights a blue tint to it due to the coating of the bulb and the reflection of the housing. other than that, it's not that bright. even silverstars and our stock headlights are brighter but on the good side, it looks very nice when it's on though. a friend who i followed from behind one night, asked if i had HIDs. he said it was cool, looked really really white. i thought that was funny, but it was a good compliment. and my girlfriend said that were too bright. she asked if i had my high beams on. but honestly, they're pretty dull. the higher the kelvin temp, the more brightness you lose.

seriously, they suck. hehe. i was on the way to canada from chicago with some friends and even on the empty highway in almost pitch black darkness, my friends and i couldnt tell if they were on. i had to drive with my high beams on.

luminics MIGHT be ok if night didnt exist.
