I just recently heard about them. Anyone have them or know anyone who does? Pics? Are they worth it?

Yes, I'm running them in my high beams, and I believe Robbp is running them as well.

I think they are pretty good, but def. not as bright as HID's but a bit better than SS Ultras.

Do you have the DRL option enabled? I'd like to get a set for my highs as well but I just want to make sure it wont be too bright during the day.

Well it looks like I'll probably have to just try them out and if it's bad get the DRL's disabled, lol.

They aren't crazy bright like HID's, but emit more than your standard Halogen bulb. I wouldn't worry about them being too bright for day time use.

i would agree with chris. they are brighter than SS Ultra that i had but they arent like HIDs.

I have a set I was running in my lows, till I got HIDs. Anyone want them? I got them in November and took them out 2 months back, so still have alot of life in them. $20 shipped for both, that ok? They are Sylvania 9006, 9012 HIR-2 Halogen "IR".

Sold. And I think I made a mistake in saying they are sylvania. They are the ones from Candlepower.com, or something named like that. When I was doing research on them I found out John Deer sells them for farm machine equipment, I think you can get them cheaper thru them at a local store if you order from online,then they ship it to the store you want. Just some FYI.

Awesome, just wear gloves and dont touch the coating on them and be careful when putting them in, they are wider than stock bulbs so the fit is tight into the housing. Take a pic at night of one installed and the other stock, just to see the difference.

And if for some reason you dont like them just send them back and no worries.
