EuroDezigns 8500K Headlight Bulbs

[GulfCoastMustang]

I've already ordered some Sylvania Silverstars but $9.99 and a lifetime warranty was too hard to pass so I picked up a pair of these EuroDezigns (yo) 8500K Headlights.
Really not a huge difference from the Factory bulbs, in my opinion. They're a little less yellow and a little less bright. Can't wait to try the Silverstars but I think these 8500K's look pretty neat.

Sam - running 8500K bulbs might be cause for concern. After the lights have been on for a while, feel the wires leading to the headlamps to see if they're getting hot. Running that high a rating I'd be surprised if they aren't.

These are still the same standard 65/55W rating as the factory 9007 bulbs. I had them on for a few minutes while taking the pictures and felt the harness and it was barely warm at all.
The 8500K is just the color temperature of the bulb. It's still a standard tungsten filament that burns yellowish, the bulbs are basically just painted blue. This is why output is slightly diminished. They're supposed to still be DOT-approved since the blue tint is so minimal.
Then again, here in MS I see cars with flat out purple, yellow and red headlights all the time. They're not exactly strict about it. I would be check with the laws in your state if you're thinking about doing it, though.

Nah - I'm running Silverstars in my '00 and the '82 still has sealed-beams in it. The truck, however, is running Sylvania's Xenarc HID upgraded headlight assemblies - those simply ROCK!
