Xenon filament bulbs any good? Not headlight

I was interested to see if any of the xenon or hyper bulbs for the exterior of the car ie. turn signals, markers, brake/stop lights are any brighter than the stock replacement bulbs

They are all junk, don't waste your money cause they burn out within a matter of month, if not weeks or days.... I've had 3 pairs already. I like my Silverstars though, but I wouldn't pay full price for them.

1 pair i got for my car on ebay, they lasted for a while (like maybe 4 months, i don't drive at night much) but then they just starting burning out. On my g/f's car I got her some ebay bulbs, burnt out within days, and I told the seller, and was sent another pair which did the same thing. I have a friend how had the same thing happen to him and he was using those eurolite lights.....If you want the look, then get true HID projectors and bulbs.

I had Eurolites in my old mustang and never had a problem with them burning out. I had them for a while and went with them at the time based on the color of the bulb. I am not sure if they were brighter which is what I am looking for now.

Your buddy had Eurolites but which did you have? Sounds like you are categorizing all of those types of bulbs based on your experience with only one manufacturer.

FYI, just in case there is a misunderstanding with my original question, I am not talking about headlight bulbs.

Yeah seems like everyone's talking about headlights and they are burning the wiring harness' because of the high wattage. As far as your first question goes, yes they can be noticibly lighter but only go with name brands. I like PIAA and Eurolites for the small wedge bulbs in the corner and the 3157 bulb in the parking lense.

i Have heard of both of these companies but have not heard any feedback from either. If they look promising I say go for it.
