outahere Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 ..........I actually just put in a set of Hella 85 watters (amber/yellow) yesterday - they came packaged with their own little plastic-baggie "condoms" over the bulbs. Plugged her in, then took off the "condom," then plugged in the light. ......... Would these be Hella Yellow Stars, for around $7 to $8 each?

TSiWRX Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 ^ Not sure, I'll have to grab the box and give you the number. Summit Racing (which is local to me) had them in their rummage bin, so I picked it up. They were definitely around $14 for a pair, so the pricing would match. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Nothing on the packaging, in terms of place of manufacture nor a "name." Just a yellow box with blue writing, "HELLA," "Halogen Headlamp" - H83135081, H3, 12V 85W Yellow. Grab-bin, FTWandL ! ---- Edit/Update - quick Intr4w3b search says that yes, these are the "YellowStars," and that Summit has them on eBay for $9.99 each!

outahere Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just finished installing the 85W Narva Gold bulbs in the fog lamps. Just lighting up my garage, I can see they are a big improvement, in intensity and color, over the 55W Hella Optilux XY bulbs I had tried before. The XY bulbs were like having a pair of candles in the front bumper. Am looking forward to trying these out in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outahere Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Be advised that there are two slightly different sizes of those blasted, 1/8 turn, pop-it screws used on the wheel well liner. When I was installing the liner, I at first couldn't figure out why it was so difficult to get the pop-it into the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 ^ Don't worry 'bout that, my enlightened friend. Note, if you will, that my favorite mod is finding lost Pop-Its...and now I have a half-sized helper, too. I've actually had both liners off, at one time or another, for something or another. And although I don't quite remember too much fuss (it might be just that I was so eventually frustrated with the spark plugs , that I've forgotten all else that's bad or frustrating about working on this car, ever), I do thank you again for the reminder. I'll be sure to tell myself that I'd been reminded, when I'm pulling my hair out. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
