9006 shaped props. Putting a filter on the lamp is not a way to make it brighter, the laws of physics get in the way of that. If you have a car with headlamps that take 9005 and 9006 lamps, the best improvement you can make is a heavy gauge harness with relays and 9011/9012 to replace the 9005/9006 lamps currently in place. What model car is this for?

They're toys. Blue glass is NEVER the right answer -- ever.

Garbage. You'd do better putting fireflies in a mason jar.

Not.

Of course, science isn't a democracy, so here's the science: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/blue/bad/bad.html

Similar to the IPF "Fatboy". Probably also moves the filament to alter the dynamics off the reflector.

I looked around on the website; plenty of questionable products to choose from...

I don't see any basis for either of these assertions.

They look bulbous to me and the filament looks closer to the base. But that could be an optical illusion from the shape.
they don't look curvy to you?

Yeah, they have bulging/barrel-shaped glass...how does that make them similar to the IPF "fatboy" scam, which has cylindrical glass?

(ooh, but hey, according to the website they're available in "3350K yellow"!)

The claim of "high purity xenon" - is it as much junk as the lights themselves?

 

[-Virgil-]

Of course it is.

What kind of car are you working on? What are you trying to achieve/improve?

89 BMW 325 high/low headlights

HIR bulbs. Philips 9012 and Toshiba 9011. Much(!) higher output than anything else that will fit in those lights, with very long life. See and buy here.

Anything with blue glass is a complete waste of your money...just like re-based illegal HID kits.
