xenon non-hid lights

I found some cheap...humored the ad. they were cheap enough. The true HID people hate these..try to call it a phony, as it does not need a ballast and voltage boost generating beyond your engine coil (ridiculous)





speaking of "500k" (fordmans thread)
long term brings amazing physics.. to original runners.
anybody ever heard of a tungsten infection? old cars looking like dim headlights hopelessly..
grounds that were strong ..stubborn as all heck,sometimes needing to be moved...(very rare in 30 years and younger)
these things happen to long time runners. Thought I would mention the cheap lamps, it makes a difference of change. My subaru got its first bulb changed in 2007, the car was 20. one bulb had iron literally stuck on the filament.. instead of blowing the bulb.. some cars gain stuff. This of course means a physic was happening electrically.. that sucks power.. power sucked equals bad economy.



and as an added unique note, I keep the car at 500rpm, the alternator needs 750 to maintain full voltage.. these bulbs light up fast..alot faster than traditional. I do not know what they are exactly, but utilize incandescent and the gas. clever, cheap..
there is a complete phony out there, but those are illegal today, so if you do find incandescent bulbs
claiming xenon it has to be both..filament type with the inert xenon inside.
the car above is simply "9004" the same as 265 other makes and models out there. work great,no complaints.
