Like thedon said they are trash but u will not be upset with these lights.

Model H6024N

Hella 7 inch Round e-Code Headlamps

They are the last ones on the bottom of the second box on the page. i have them installed on my car for over a year and they are like night and day!!!

VERY IMPORTANT, people have complained of burnign up alternators with that high voltage bulb. If you are worried use the 60/55 bulbs and be done with it. I installed the 65amp alternator in place of my burnt up 55amp alternator and since then have not had a problem, and i have a high power stereo system and run fog lights at the same time.

Thats my 2 cents

I got the alternator at pep boys. i just turned in my old 55 ampre and said i want a 65 ampre on it and they had one in stock. just make sure u pop out the old voltage regulator and bolts and screws that u will need for the new one because the new one has non of it.

I bought a set for my 1980 chevy pickup. Put on the Xenon bulbs and all. They were crap. I hit a deer and broke one then replaced them with sealed halogen bulbs which worked better. The Hella ones work great buy hella or Euro lights stay away from the cheap diamond ones.
