What's this about Xenon headlights?

Mighty, I have been screwed by buying things from EBAY before and I swore I would never let it happen again, I was also told that your local Meijer's carries these things. Is this true ? If I have to spend an extra $10.00 to just go pick them up locally, I would do that. I just don't want to lose anymore money to a bad shipment through ebay.

P.S. where do you do most of your riding ? I see your from Grand Ledge.

guy's, I just talked to my buddy at the local Auto Zone and he stocks the H-4 bulbs, but they only have the lower wattage ones and they are $20.00 for a single bulb :shock: are you guy's sure your paying for a set of these things for $20.00 ? If so, wich is the easiest and fastest way to get some ?

CHECK AROUND.. Some places are overpricing them... You can get them at TARGET for $12.99 PAIR!!

They seem to be more expensive at automotive stores than at places like walmart!!

You can buy them on ebay for $5.00 a pair and $5.00 shipping.. but you will end up waiting up to 2 weeks to get them from the high sales sellers!

I am planning on hitting all these places locally and see what I can do.

Here are some pics to try to show the difference between the two lamps. One is the stock hologen the other is a Sylvania Silverstar. Its much more evident when projected on a white wall with more spacing between the lights like on a car. But I tried!

My silverstars came in 3 days. They sure are whiter than the stockers.
Yamanator, I ride mostly from Houghton Lake north. I Have a buddy that lives in HL and one that has a place in Waters. I try to make 2-3 trips to the UP too.

In person there is no doubt which one is which. Like I said, I can't believe the difference. I'm looking forward to seeing them in action.

As far as ebay goes yamanator, I have purchased many things there and have been lucky so far

Welt, I would guess that your way higher than stock bulbs will work awsome! Have you tried that high of wattage before? I bought this size for this year also. hope they work well .Honk
