    Looks like they are the same temp, 9006's are 200 lumens brighter, where 9005 320 lumens brighter. They're selling for $30 ea. I need to buy some new ones cause my pass. blew. If my local az has some I'll pick a pair up and get some pictures. Though I'll be doing the 9005 in lowbeam mod, so they'll look a tad different.

    I picked a pair up from az for $50, and cut the tabs out. I installed the passenger side light, so when I take pictures you can see the comparison between the ultra and a 1 year old 9005 silverstar.

    Here is the best picture I have:


    Driver side is a 1 year old silverstar 9005, passenger is the new ultra 9005.

    Quite a difference, I'm not sure if the difference is because the bulb was a year old or not.

    Here is what it looks like with both:


    I'll get some road pictures later.

    [EDIT] More Pictures:



    I'm pretty happy with the turn out, the camera doesn't quite capture the right temperature, but it's close.

    After further inspection, does anyone know how to aim fogs?

    Great pics, not worth the money but if they're 320 lumens brighter than makes them 2020 lumens instead of 1700 lumens meaning they have about 63% of the light that HIDS have. I think I'll invest in some, but I need a coupon because Im not paying $50 for light bulbs. I know you ugys have a pep boys + sylvania coupon down in the US now so you guys are getitng it for $14.99-$19.99 which is amazing for a pair, I'm going to try a similar scam.

    Ya, go under the car there is a screw on the foglight bracket that faces the floor, tightening and loosening it will aim it because it's attached to a spring.

    I needed new ones anyways, I wasn't aware of that coupon, nor do I know where a pep boys is, within reasonable distance. So it was either pay $40 for regular, or $50 for ultra.
