can anyone verify that these would fit?

9005 100w High Beam, 12v Yellow Gold Bulb. Made in Korea. Price is PER bulb. Bulbs carry a 6 month warranty.

im not sure what the part number of mine were but i do know they were made in korea and the wattage is the same and they do fit in mine, its a pretty fat(size wise) looking bulb but it does fit without any problems.

It's a 9005 bulb so it should fit perfectly.

I'm not sure but my guess would be that any color-tinted bulb would not be as bright as one without tint.

My experience with 100 watt high-beam bulbs in an Integra is that they're fine if you only use your high beams for flashing or for occasional visibility problems (turning them on for a few seconds or a minute at a time). I had a set which shattered when I had them on for a half hour (obviously, late at night in an area with no traffic).

I have them in mine but I don't remember the brand. The color is not quite as bright yellow/amber as I had anticipated but is definitely noticeable. I only paid $5.50 for the pair plus $4.00 shipping. I've been trying to take pics but bright headlights and my DSC-F717 don't seem to mix, I'll continue playing with the setting until I get it right. I was thinking about picking up some for the low beams too and go for the 24hrs GT class look.

100 watt bulbs on for an extended amount of time may burn up the stock wiring too. Hella sells them, model name Yellowstar, I don't know if the size we need is available though.

I've got some mtec yellow style bulbs. The coating is rainbow colored and the output is a light yellow. I like the quality.

I have the yellow 9005 bulbs from this japanese company MTEC, and they are awesome. Got them off of ebay, but they are a bit more expensive than the ghetto $10 bulbs...i think they were like 30 bucks maybe...dont remember. Anyhow, they have been on the car for over a year and are still working fine...heres some pics....

Mainly because...uhh....i like having yellow light at night in areas that require my brights as I feel it illuminates better than hyper whites or stock brights. Secondly, it looks nice...so "JDM" as it were cause they get the nice yellow fogs in their headlight assembly.

Visibility & Vision.

Anything out of the ordinary is something that will catch the dumbass driver's attention and make them respond, hopefully to do the right thing.

It won't illuminate as well as untinted bulbs of the same wattage.

I have a set that I bought a LONG time ago. I have made numerous late night trips with the brights on for extended periods of time and have had no problems. I have in the past seen these bulbs explode and on a few occasions melt the high beam wiring harness. I wish I could tell you which ones I have (they probably aren't made anymore anyway) but the bulb only has the wattage printed on it.


Oh yeah, and the visibility is great!!

</TD></TR></TABLE>my friend bought a set of those....

and... it looked nice at first.....but.....

when installed in the car, NOT IMPRESSED.

I would stick with PIAA or RAYBRIG or POLARG

Them MTEC are cheap, but the quality isn't all there, plus they burn out fast.

I have yellows for my highs and lows. I have them in the GSR not the R yet. They work fine, and the price was similar to the one you posted. $20.00 a set. Pretty cheap, but I like how they look. Don't get hassled by the cops either, unlike if you had the blue ones. I wired my lows to a high beam socket so I'm running high beams for all four bulbs. I did re adjust so I don't kill anyone by blinding them. Here's a pic:

any 100w bulb will destroy your harness after a prolonged use.

thats not entirely true. I had a Ford Exploder once and the stock fog lights did crap until I put in 110wt bulbs, and they and the wires lasted the 40 month lease
