Have 8w white, now found some 10w standard look. Just need to find 10w white and I think it will be spot on.

10w yellow puts a glare on the bottom of the light, 10w white should look 100%

Left 8w white right 10w standard look.

Some people dont want to pay so much for Xenon's. Even the LCI has an option without Xenon's.

Yes will do. If you are lucky like me they will send you 8 bulbs by mistake

I am happy with the results. They are VERY bright well worth the cash. The glare is not as bad as it looks in my pics

As for excess heat I dont think it will be a prob as the bulbs are not in a confined space. To overheat they would have to heat up the whole light assembly that is not going to happen. Will they melt the reflector that guides the light into the angel eye ? Hmmm no idea time will tell. I am not worried though as I think the odds of that happening are slim.

Now just to find white lights

Funny thing, my 8w white lights the bulbs are blue and the white 10w bulbs look yellow how dose that work
