I have to agree. Stay away from those. To answer the question, I can't tell from the packaging whether that is for both bulbs or just one. Easy test - plug one in and have your stocker plugged in. Let them warm up for a bit then hold your hand close. If that is seriously an 80w single bulb it should feel distinctively warmer. Remember, don't touch the bulb!

I have a cheap pair of ebay projector that came with Halogen bulbs in my Eclipse. I think they produced about as much light as two BIC lighters. I replaced them with a McCullogh 6000K HID kit. Major difference. The cutoff (and the car) are low enough to where I don't get flashed at night, except maybe once in a blue moon. YMMV. I haven't tried enough of the super ahlogen bulbs to know which is best, the last pair I had were some Silverstars and I wasn't that impressed with them, but they were better then the stockers.

I am using PIAA 35w yellow fog bulbs in both cars and they are plenty bright.

The thing is I was planning on getting the HID/Projector Housing from Mitsubishi for the 2009 Ralliart which is fairly cheap, much cheaper than getting the whole set including the bi-xenons and I wanted to see if I could duplicate the HIDs by getting those ultra-over-the-top halogens like the ones Osram makes; that'll save me $1,400 bucks off the HID setup while still using the factory Projector Housings

I've never seen the Osrams in person, but they still won't have "the look" of HIDs, which is part of the cool factor that was important to me.

They don't look like HIDs but they light up the road very very well.

You definitely won't duplicate the look without getting the actual projector housing. If you get that, though, save some cash and get a HID kit off of ebay and you're 99% there.

If you just want more light, try HIR bulbs. 80% more light, same wattage, same heat.

^interesting but the price point seems close to a HID unit. Also, there is trimming involved but nothing too intense.

There isn't anything wrong with buying bulbs from Ebay, just buy good bulbs from ebay. Don't buy anything that is super blue with a silver tip that is only $5.99 that looks "...just like a HID!!1!..."
