Has anyone ordered or tried thoes Green Xenon Lights 9005/9006 that I keep seeing on Ebay?? The bulb is green, but is the light output?? And does anyone think they are brighter than what you are all using?
Any thoughts?

Man everything is a scam nowadays....makes me sick..
Well needless to say I do have the silverstars....just not sure if I got the sylvania ones or the osram ones...lol That was a few years ago.

Thank you for the research thread.

A lesson in wavelengths

Basically the longer the wavelength, the further the light can travel. Green = short wavelength = short distance = crappy color for headlights.

So in reality it would be better to use red lights? 700nm of wavelength?
I no tink the cops would like that....lol

Actually yes, red headlights would be the best....but red is reserved for brake lights (so that they can be seen further away incase you need to stop

)
