couple of shots with the yellow's ... I have standard halogens for headlights btw.
I know Rally has a real clean shot of how they actually look.

They really complement the HC Clubman's really well.

On the box it says a 'whiring harness' is recommended.. what is it and why is it recommended?

does it produce more light? The box also says 35W/55W.. I presume the second wattage is more light and therefore only attainable with the whiring harness?

I don't know..

Edit: Nevermind, they recommend it because otherwise you'll run the risk of burning the OEM socket.. but then again they are stock wattage (as it says on the box..)

Thx!

Hahaha no I haven't actually, I was just looking at the pictures of the box on eBay and I noticed it.

I expect the bulbs to arrive somewhere next week..

There is one thing I don't fully understand.. why do they put 55W on the box?

Clubman H8 is 35W.

Bulb Model: H8
Bulb Color: Hyper Yellow 2500K Stage I
Output Wattage: 35/55W
Consume Wattage: 35W
Description:
Stock output halogen headlight upgrade
European style light
Improves driver visibility and awareness
Simple installation
Notes: Verify bulb model with original bulbs before purchasing
Precautions: Do not touch bulb surface at any time

Eum.. the 35W/55W output depends on the application perhaps? (ex. fog, low beam etc?)

My concern is that maybe the fogs will run at 55W in the 35W socket and therefore burn it out? Sorry about the stupid questions!

Hmm so they give off 55W in terms of brightness but they only use 35W? Is that even possible?

It's quite confusing .. I've asked a few guys and nobody has a clear answer..

Just looking at my packaging for this and it says the same thing on it as the specs below:

Bulb Model: H8
Bulb Color: Hyper Yellow 2500K Stage I
Output Wattage: 35/55W

I would not worry about it they work fine for almost a year now and I use them quite a lot.

Also here is a direct link to the product on Nokya's site:

A friend of mine made this vid last night

Stock engine (bar from a K&N panel filter), stock exhaust (EU-spec, so with the pops and farts )

Enjoy!

It's very simple! Wheels at full lock to have enough working space, twist off the black 'cap' and twist and turn the socket + bulb out.

Or do you mean removing the bulbs from the actual socket itself?
