   Not an ECOBright bulb, more like an ECO-DIM one., March 6, 2012

   There is a lot of hype on the pakaging:
   Save Energy – from 9 to 21% wattage savings
   Uses 9 percent to 21 percent less energy than traditional lamps and saves from $2 to $19 in gas over the life of a pair
   25 percent brighter compared to aged standard bulbs
   Pack includes two EcoBright H7 12.8V, 50W

   Take the hype for what it is:

   Understand that these bulbs are dimmer than standard H7, they save energy the same way a 60W bulb uses less energy than a 75W bulb.
   Standard H7 bulbs use 55W, this is only 50W (9% savings).
   A SilverStar Ultra High Performance halogen headlight (H7) is 65W!

   They are not 25% brighter than a regular bulb, they are dimmer, at least they are clear that they are brighter than an OLD regular (55W), forgot to mention that they measure the regular H7 as it is about to fail (to get a favorable comparison).
   Is like saying that your new VW has better fuel economy (or pollute less) than a 1955 Mercedes on its way to the junk yard.
   They may last longer has they do not run as hot.

   Is a trick restaurants and other businesses use with their incandescent illumination (use 130VAC bulbs instead of 120VAC on a 120VAC circuit) to get a longer life even if it is at the expense of lower illumination.

   I’ll used them only on the low beams and I do most of my driving in town. So for me they are OK.
   I have tried their Silverstar Ultra in the past, they are brighter, but lasted 1/4th the life of a regular H7. Funny that that fact is clearly stated on this and regular H7 packs, but not on the SilverStar or SilverStar Ultra.

   These work really well in my 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited. They are a bit better than the original headlights that came with the car. for about 10 bucks they are a great deal. I will continue to use these from now on. Note: Make sure you are wearing gloves when you install any headlight bulb, as the oils from your fingers will certainly shorten the life.

   My VW kept blowing light bulbs (unusual right? /sarcasm). I bought these in the hopes that since they run at 45w it might make it more difficult for the car to blow it (lower wattage, cooler bulb, other unscientific claims I formulated in my head). I don’t know yet, its been two months, no problems…let me find some wood to knock on.

   I will say that they are bright. Even though they run at 10w lower than my OEM VW bulbs there is no noticeable difference in brightness. So while they might not be silverstars they are as bright as a normal 55w bulb.
