I can not comment on their performance, the last I really heard about them is the light output was not as good as halogen, they did not seem to disperse light far enough to be considered an "upgrade" to lighting like hid kits were. The benefits of the bulb are that it does take less current to operate which if followed by the proper electrical system modifications can make an improvement to gas mileage by decreasing the alternators load (if you even run an alternator at that point)


It's good to hear that you fixed the problem. FYI bulb grease is dialetric grease you may need to replace the switch eventually though. I'm willing to bet the buzzing was just the switch grounding the power source because of poor contact inside
