Never heard of them... are they worth it? Probably not.

Do you have a link or pic of these spark plugs?

Sounds like a gimmic, much like "forked" spark plugs. They are probably counting on your inner-ricer to make the purchase so you can announce to your friends next saturday night that your ignition is now "laser-powered". A link would be cool to gawk at though.

If you're interested in those plugs... can I also interest you in 1 pound of raw, unrefined turbonium?

Guys, it sounds like he's referring to NGK Laser Platinums. "NGK Platinum" plugs which 99% of the population refer to as just that, are really technically called "NGK Laser Platinum" spark plugs.

Do they make a difference? Well, compared to what...? They are stock on all H22 series engines. They certainly aren't worth $15 when you can buy them from Import Replacement Parts for $10.50 each. If you're looking for a long lasting plug I would recommend NGK Iridiums because they are cheaper than Platinum, last just as long or longer, and Iridium is a more conductive metal than Platinum (theoretically you'll get better efficiency and all the benefits that come along with that).
