Store/Site purchased: www.pfyc.com

Cost/Shipping: Around $20.00 shipped.

Store service, contact, delivery, problems, props: Got them within 3 days. Parts for Your Car has great customer service

Initial product impressions, quality: Look pretty cool in the box, even better on the car!

Instructions, good, bad, none, etc: No instructions, Its pretty self explanitory

Installation notes, easy, hard, PITA: Easy! Unplug old bulb, plug in new bulb.

Performance, appearance opinions: These blubs are awesome!! They have that bluish hue to them when the are not lit, and looks awesome when reflecting off the chrome bezel. When lit they are 100% legal amber in color.

Any other thoughts about the product: Great bulbs at a good price. I deffinatly recommend them, they look awesome. Here is a picture of them not lit.....

hmmm....our bulbs there are 3057's, PFYC sells the 3157's. I assume that is what yall are using? Also does anyone know for sure if the SilverStar 880 fog light bulbs will fit?

Our bulbs are 3157's. No the fogs won't work.

And in my opinion, I prefer a signal bulb that flashes white. Which is also perfectly legal where I live, not sure about everywhere else.

I know there are people on here using those silverstar 880s. I think the plug is just straight rather than 90 degree, or whatever.

Redog:
I bought them yesterday and poped them in. I bought them for $20 at Car Parts in Hillsbourgh, NJ (g/f's town)

The old bulbs were the orignals and the paint was coming off in my hands.

those are the Silverstar bulbs, for the turn signals. If your looking for the Silverstar headlight bulbs check this thread: http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=150

I got a set today for my Alero..and DAMN are they nice as hell! I love em! Better than any other "hyper white" bulb I've ever had...and they're only 55W so it won't burn up your headlight socket/harness! (my old 80W hyperwhite ones toasted my socket/harness..i had to replace them both!)
