PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow Fogs

Just picked these H1 bulbs up for my 06 Coupe. Notice package says 55 W and arrow pointing to 110W. Is that 110W just an indication of them being as bright as a 110W ???? Our lights are 55W and I don't want a problem. Anyone here care to comment. I'd also appreciate comments as to how you like 'em! Pics at nite? TIA!!

What it means it that the fog element is 55 watts and the high beam is 110 watts.

that would be incorrect, if im not mistaken. these are not dual filament bulbs like the 9003/h4 bulbs that the 03-05 coupes use. these h1 bulbs are single filament bulbs that we use as our fog lights. we 06 coupes have bi-xenons aka xenon high beams too

actually that "110w" is total bs. It'll put out less than the 55w the stock bulbs put out as far as output is concerned. Only way to get 110w is to run a110w bulb, and that would melt the stock wiring for sure

I just ordered some Narva Gold H4 bulbs. I'll post some pics once I get them. These are a Philips brand, so they are very good quality. I have heard some good things about them on the HIDplanet forum, so I figured I'd give them a shot. They are supposed to give off some of the best yellow light you can get. Plus they are only $14 a piece.
