I was on Ebay this morning and saw this listing. They seem interesting, but I know NOTHING about the product. So does anyone here know about them? How bright? Error messages on the Idrive etc? Let me know!

They will most likely throw errors in I-Drive and the output would be no where near the stock halogen bulbs.

The only thing I would worry about that is they wouldn't provide much light output. The new LED headlights offered by Cadillac require a ton of LEDs to get the same output, I figure these wouldn't be able to do the same but it's only speculation without trying the product.

Katheikia, I'm not a genius BUT did you read the disclaimer in the ebay for these LED Fog/9006's:
HID LOOK
Replace your ugly filament bulbs! LED's give the look of HID lights for a fraction of the cost.
Note: Bulbs are not an adequate light source for driving at night.
You Get:
2 High Power bulbs
