David, they are $6.75 each plus shipping. They are the German manufactured ones by Philips, not some $hit out of Asia like Tweeks sells. If we keep the weight down under 13 oz. I can ship USPS for 3 or 4 bucks.


And if you want other bulbs now is the the time to order. I can get everything wraped up in the same order.

As a customer of Dan's products I just want to chime in on the quality of his stuff. It may be expensive, but you will not be disappointed. I've compared my headlights from him to my friend's $900 HID setup and it's 50/50 as to which is better. I also have the 35w halogen kit as well & can't really say I've noticed it as much as I normally am IN my car, not behind it....but the reverse lights make a world of a difference (first time I used them at night I thought there was a car behind me with it's headlights on). The brake lights are also bright enough that you can see the people behind you in their car at night at stoplights.

Also, don't worry about customer service with him....any guy who will give you help over the phone as he's making dinner is good in my book.

1) Where in upstate NY are you? (just wondering if you're a local)

2) All the single-filiment bulbs are the same, and all the double-filiment ones are the same. The 35w bulbs are only available in the non-flashing bulbs, but he still offers slightly upgraded bulbs for the turnsignals. I don't know the size #'s on the bulbs, but Dan can tall you off-hand.

I was actually thinking about getting some of these like two days ago and then it slipped my mind.

I'd be in for a minimum of three bulbs if this order takes off!

Joe - The quantity obviously depends where you plan to put the bulbs. I only want them for my reverse lights(2) and under the hood(1).

Just out of curiosity where are people who want five putting the other two? Brakes or directionals?

I'll get them for you guys, but as noted I would like to order 50 of them. I can order less and get charged more so we can just spread the extra cost around. It will only be 50 cents to a buck more per bulb if I recall correctly.

And anyone that wants new side marker bulbs or headlight bulbs put in the order now so we can get a good price. I usually order over $500 in bulbs at a shot. When one gets under that the prices climb.

Scott is a bit off on description. Our exrerior lights (not headlights, fogs or driving) are 5 watt incandescent for the side markers and front and rear. Those are #1155. You probably have a dual 5watt/21watt in the front for marker and turnsignal. That is an #1157. All the rest are #1156. The 1156 is where you want to put the bright halogens in.

I've tested these halogens for heat and it works fine for over an hour of straight lit time without melting the plastic. And several guys in FL have been running them for about 6 months, work good in that heat and no problems.

So a good deal for everyone no matter what climate you are in.

The plug in 35 watt halogens are $6.75 each
The rest of the bulbs are $0.80 except for the dual 1157 whixh is 0.90 a pop. You probaly want to change out the rest of the bulbs anway. Tungsten vapors end up on the glass bulb and act as a filter.

Sooooo, I know these bulbs work great. I wouldn't sell them to you guys if there was a problem.

ok, I was a little off on my description as Iceshark pointed out. Here's a basic layout to over-simpify:

Rear Light Cluster:
Brake(2):........#1156
Reverse(2):....#1156
Taillight(2):.....#1155
TurnSignal(2):.#1156

Other:
3rd Brake(1):...#1156
Rear Side(2):....#1155
Front Side(2):...#1155
Front Turn(2):...#1157
Engine Bay(1):..#1156

Is this correct?

Edited after Iceshark's post & actually looking at what I bought from him before, lol.
