Review: Noticeably brighter than 55w bulbs - I installed these into some Hella 500 driving lights, which came with Hella 55w H3 bulbs in them. I am *obviously* using these off-road, as that is the only place they’re legal to use. I had run the 55w bulbs for a while, and felt like I wanted more light output. WOW do these deliver! Now mind you the Hella 500 units I have are the “driving light” pattern, so dispersion is pretty minimal — they’re basically a spotlight. So, long, focused, narrow beam. These REALLY increased the output of my lamps, and reduced the “dead” spot that was in the center of the beam pattern as well. They throw much further down the road, and my eye estimates probably 2x light output (not scientific). Downside is that the lamps heat up a good deal more than before, but I have not experienced any deforming of the housing yet. I probably wouldn’t turn them on if your vehicle is stationary, as the air moving past them as you drive helps to cool them down. You’ll need to make sure the gauge of your wiring can handle the 100w bulbs, and you should NOT use these if your lamps are not wired thru a relay. Installation was a breeze, just need a Phillips head screwdriver and 5 minutes’ time. Be careful not to touch the glass part of the bulb, or the oils from your hand will cause them to burn out quickly! Thats’s it, that’s the review — thank you for coming to my TED talk. EDIT 4/9/25: These bulbs have held up well. No issues and great lifespan, tho to be fair I don’t use them a ton. I’d imagine they have a shorter lifespan than a 55w bulb just because of how incandescents work. A HUGE unforeseen upside to the bulbs heating the housing & lenses up so much: they de-ice themselves in the winter. I’d purchase these again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they brighter than regular bulbs?**
A: The short answer is "No".  These produce light within +/- 5% (or so) of non tinted H3 bulbs of equal wattage.    Placing them in non-fog lamps do NOT make them fog lamps.  Fog lamps have a specific beam pattern regardless of what color the light is.  Wattage is a measurement of energy, NOT lumenosity.  Don't confuse one for the other. Companies claiming "55w=85w" are lying to you, or at least playing to your ignorance. To get a brighter light from a given wattage, engineers design a thinner filament for the capsule.  The trade off is shorter lifespan. Rated in dozens rather than hundreds of hours.

**Q: What is the temp range / color?**
A: The manufacturer's specification indicates 2,900k and 1,450 lumens. http://www.myhellalights.com/links/Product_Overview-Catalog-1st_Edition7-17.pdf. See page # 90

**Q: Where its made**
A: Korea

**Q: Will they fit a 1996 300zx.**
A: Depends on your bulb size. If your 300zx takes h3 than you can get it. Goto sylvania website to see the size bulb you need. I would recommend nokya bulbs
