My unbiased review on the below item:

Item: Polarg B1 HB4/9006 4350K Super White Headlight globs
Cost: $80 per pair
Manufactured: Japan

I bought 3 pairs of these bulbs. Within 6 months, I have blown 5 out of 6 of these globes. So thats $200 gone in 6 months re lighting department.

The reason why is because I am running non-OEM suspension, well, Koni Yellows with H&R springs to be exact. It is not even stiff however they seem to blow very easily.

They do have a pure and clean white light, which is what I am after.

I have since reverted to cheaper globes such as MTEC which produce pretty much the same light output.

So in summary, for those wishing to run stiffer suspension, perhaps give other brands a try before committing $80 to these globes.

P.s. I'm not even sure if they are still in commercial production anymore.

my mtecs have been running for ages, at least 7 months now. they're holding up fine, no stiff suspension here though
