Hoen is ok as long as you ONLY get the side markers. I got the W5W and it MELTED my turn signal housing along with gradyex's. This is a picture of his turn signal bulb housing.

Nope...they basically told me that I was screwed. I'll never buy from them again. I can however say that the chromium bulbs are "safe".

According to Hoen the W5W is a city light for headlamps only. Use the bulb in a non approved application (i.e. 997 indicator) and well, you melt stuff! Been there done that with 100w's ebay bulbs in headlamps. My fault, lesson learned.

Little confused. Is that the rear turn signal housing or the front fender marker?

It's as I said, the turn signal marker and it's up front. I'm not sure how you can confuse that with the rear taillights. They look completely different.

On another note, I'm not sure how gmoney is related to hoen, but he seemed to be defending it. I pushed the warranty issue on another thread for the led plate lights, and he differed to general principal of "modding = risks". While I agree in the realms of performance modifications, in the realm of asthetics, that's a far cry from a committment to warranty. I'll probably still get the LEDs because they're the same wattage so intuitively, I can't see how they'll hurt anything, but I would be wary of other products.

Ive reviewed all of the mods Ive done that Im happy with, RSS / EVOMSit, GMG and Hoen took care of me, the reviews I have done over the year or two on here are accurate and anyone with similar mods can attest to that.
I would also be cautious about the side markers. I heard reports of a similar bulb inking a headlight lense with grey residue.

I wouldn't assume to question your integrity. I'm simply very nervous about melting parts on my car.
