    I don't know why but i was fooled into getting these for my hellas so they would almost match my 8k HIDs. They claim to be "HID simulated bulbs" and the pics on the website make them look "bluer" like HID's. I ordered the 55w 7000k color H3 Nokya bulbs thinking they would at least be a little bit bluer than the stock halogen bulbs to match the hids a little better. Come to find out it's just a normal 55w bulb with a light blue film around it. I swap out the bulbs and it's just a little bit whiter than the normal halogen...Damn.. there is a tiny tiny hint of blue but not enough to be noticeable sitting next to 8k Hids in my heads. I'm pretty sure the 3000k bulbs are the same way, just a tiny tiny hint of yellow.
    Waste of $20 and the waiting for it to ship

    I ran the same type of bulbs from putco and APC before I wised up and got real hids. The fake ones didn't have the output I wanted and keep breaking
