they use the same wattage as the factory lights just have a blue color to them...so I would imagine I wouldnt loose any functionality out of them
Actually you would esp if you drive in rain......I would compromise and get the 5000K from retro for the fogs in the 35W versions (maybe only wattage you can get) and they would be pure white with little to no blue and would work great in addition to your headlights when in bad weather when the lights are needed the most!!! JMO

IMO Stay away from the Lumincs bulbs as they are crap and can melt housings!!!!!! Trust me on this and the light output will decrease but they will run hotter....kind of defeats the purpose IMO

I agree 100% and IMO it is not a good replacement bulb......
Retro first then Silver star Ultras...... I have them in the car now as my headlights and they look great and output more useable light then the stock halogens. When I get the retro solutions set I will post a write up and install with pics and comparisons.....its in the mail as we speak


THANKS RETRO!
