Customer Reviews:
Perfectly good SINGLE HB4/9006 bulb - but wrong photo.
Nothing wrong with this bulb - works fine and it is the Hella model/item number listed in the heading. However, as of this moment, the photo shows a twin-pack of “xenon blue” Hella bulbs “Made in Germany”. The actual item that arrived was a single conventional halogen bulb in a yellow cardboard box made by Hella “in India”. As I said, it works well and the price is very good - but don’t expect a pair of the fancier “xenon blue” bulbs for this price.
Surperior to OEM
Excellent bulb. Hella quality. Superior to OEM.
I hated overdriving the meager 55-watt OEM bulbs and I was disappointed by a set of Sylvania Silverstars: I didn’t like their blue tint and they burned out too quickly. To get me home, I picked up a pair of GE 9006 “Value Pack” bulbs “Made in Hungary” at Wal-Mart only to discover they were only 51 Watts!
These are a simple plug-n-play installation — I swapped-out both headlights in less than five minutes. Just use caution not to touch the glass or leave fingerprints on the bulbs. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean my fingers and the bulbs before installation.
Be aware that most US-manufacture automobile wiring harnesses will not handle the increased current requirements of these bulbs. 80 Watts at 12 Volts means these babies are drawing almost 7 Amps each. I have had no problems using them in Acura, Honda and Toyota, but they burned-up the wiring harness in two Ford Explorers. If in doubt, use a power relay adapter cable.
The Hella model/item number listed in the heading is correct. However, the photo shows a twin-pack of “Xenon Blue” Hella bulbs “Made in Germany”. The actual item is a single conventional Hella halogen bulb in a yellow cardboard box “Made in Germany”. Actually, I prefer these bulbs to the pricier “Xenon Blue” bulbs.
The packaging was marginal at best, but (fortunately) none of the bulbs were damaged in transit.
Awesome!
These lights are awesome! I’ve been using the so called “xenon quality” blue tinted bulbs in my truck for a few years now never really liked them. I decided to switch back to regular Halogen but with a little more wattage and I got to say it was a great decision. You can’t go wrong with these and the price is amazingly low!
