wouldnt reccomend them.
they are white by using a coating; which you can plainly see. offsets the natural yellow tint with blue. but that blue tinting; like all tints; filters the light and dims it. so to be the same brightness or brighter you need more watts. this is almost 100% true for this bulb in question.
problem is; anything over 21w gets too hot and will yellow your clear housing over time.
the rest may or may not be ok; Id worry about the rear turn signals and back up lights particularly.

pretty good reviews I think. chrome when off; and they are just slightly less bright than stock; which is better than melting your housing.

Just buy the superwhite LED bulbs from www.superlumination.com
They are a little whiter than the HID, but at least you don't have that ugly blue reflection.
If you get the LED turn signals you need to buy the load equalizers so that they don't blink all crazy.

Those ebay bulbs were installed on my car by the previous owner, I am currently in the process of changing them over to the silver coated bulbs. They do look pretty cool at night but durring the day you cant even tell my blinker is on 
Also for some reason my hazards dont work!
