Nokya NOK7618 Halogen Bulb

Very satisfied

I enjoy the color of the JDM Yellow bulbs from Nokya. On Nokya's packaging, they warn people about whether you're buying Nokya bulbs or a fake item packaged like it; I know nothing about Nokya's reputation, whether they are a top-of-line company or not. All I know is that I enjoy the bulbs in my fog lamps. I wish I could comment on bulb life, since some colored bulbs have a shorter life than clear bulbs - I've had enough experience about that - but this was a recent purchase to replace an after-market HID light kit using the same yellow 2700K temperature.About my own fog lamps (where the * comes in): My lamps fit into my 2007 Honda Fit Sport edition. I have had OEM fog lamps on a Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner, but have never been happy with the focus of the beam! It's almost as though some car companies make fog lamps only for style and not for function. The Honda Fit actually focuses the light into a very wide and narrow beam, allowing for easy aiming, and the Nokyas put out fabulous light - the combination for my use truly cuts into the fog that I recently drove through.Now, the reason I had to drop the vote to two stars: The light bulbs burned out way too quickly. I can't remember how long before the first one died but it simply seemed like it was a matter of several months. All I know is that the original bulbs on the headlights are still burning bright, yet these have long since burnt. I have noticed a pattern where colored bulbs have a shortened life span than the clear ones. That's too bad because I want to give this the best possible feedback, but I'd be unfair to add more stars. Someone's query made me return to amend my original 5-star rating.

My review may be biased since i'm coming from a 55w HID setup that would light up the road like it was day. However the yellow is bright a very nice dark yellow not like most bulbs that seem like the yellow is just coming from the tint painted onto the bulb. I haven't had them long enough to speak on reliability or life of the product but my previous HID's lasted about 6yrs so they have a lot to live up to. For fog lights i don't think i would look elsewhere, as these definitely do right by the name and description and have come in quite handy in the unexpected rain/fog.

When I set out to purchase a set of yellow fog lights for my Audi, I did a lot of reading online about different brands and products. It seemed that a lot of people complained that many of the lights were not a very true yellow and would be washed out. Just to be safe, I purchased some yellow lamin-x film too. However, I ended up returning that because it was NOT needed.These lights are PERFECT! They provide such a bright TRUE yellow that I didn't even run the yellow lamin-x -- these are MORE than yellow enough. What is cool is that, when off, you can't even tell my fogs have yellow bulbs (which is really the look I wanted anyhow, only yellow when on). I've since set my car up to run the fogs on all the time since it looks so darn good, so those are my DRLs now.Would definitely recommend and suggest to others. A great product, good quality bulbs, and a VERY nice yellow hue!

Love them, and really like the deep yellow. One literally burnt out this morning in my Audi A4.I see some people have had them last for years. I will say..I always run them on when the sun goes down and at night. I also use them for my daytime running lights. I will order another set, just wish the one would of lasted longer!!Bought Dec 2017 and burnt out April 3rd 2019.

The installation of these lights was a less than smooth. One bulb required a decent amount of force to insert into its mounting location, which resulted in me accidentally breaking the plastic (and then having to repair it) that covers the bulbs wiring. When looking at the difference between the metal used to mount, the OEM looks to be of higher quality. Also, they didn't seem to make as strong of a seal between the light casing and the bulb as the bulbs I was replacing. I'm interested to see if this results in any moisture accumulation behind the lenses.That being said, these things are bright as hell, and look awesome. Since install was bad for one of mine and not the other, I'm not sure if I just got one with a slight defect. Still, these pricey to be dealing with above issues.

They look GREAT on my 2010 GMC Terrain Fog Lights. It sets it apart from the rest of the crowd. I only use Fog Lights when needed because quite frankly you look like a TOOL driving with them on during the day just to look cool. That's why you claim "They don't last long"The beam is extremely bright and effective at night and lights up shoulder very well lighting up pesky opossum and armadillo eyes. Installation was perfect marring to the OEM connectors. Appropriate use should increase the life of the bulbUPDATE 10/10/13 Bulbs still burn bright yellow. I use them every night.

pros: quick delivery and they work.cons: colorpart is labeled as 2500K "Hyper Yellow"... well the hyper yellow is meaningless marketing and i'll dismiss it as such. however, 2500K is not open to interpretation and is what i was after. it is a specific color temperature and this doesn't come close. it's a very pale yellow, probably more in the 4000K range. i read some review where someone else complained about the color to a Nokya rep and was told they've lightened the coating due to NHTSA requirements and what not...well that's fine, no problem....but RECLASSIFY THE COLOR! i'll keep them just because they're not worth the effort to remove, but i certainly won't buy again.UPDATE 09-17-2014: Dead after 6 months...garbage
