JFC, shut up about his bulbs guys. I have them and so do many other people. They are a hell of a lot brighter than stock, and do make it look like you have xenons. Many friends of mine who are skeptical of this kind of thing have told me that the jimmy bulbs DO in fact make it look like I have xenon lights. A group of about 15 people at last year's bimmerfest (The real one, in SB) did a head to head with Jimmy's car and a car with real xenons. The concensus was that Jimmy's bulbs look just as bright as real xenons from the front, but the lighting pattern is obviously no match (Something that Jimmy doesn't claim anyway). Furthermore, the bulbs make GREAT foglight replacements for people with stock xenons, so you don't have blue headlights and piss yellow halogen fogs.

Are they worth $120.00? If you can pay $120.00 to make it look like you have xenons, then yes. If you can't afford $120.00, then don't buy them and stop bitching. They are NOT the same thing as the cheap-o ones you can get at pep boys. They use a thinner filament (which allows for a brighter burn) and blue glass, instead of a stock halogen with blue FILM. (No film on J-bulbs)

Please, stop bitching about the bulbs. They are the real deal (As all of his positive ebay feedback can attest to) as advertised. Fine if you have a problem with the nightmare section of his website, but comon... he has a nice car, sells bulbs on ebay which go for quite a lot of money, and has what seems to be an unlimited income. If you're jealous just say so!

Do you know who is supplier is? Why don't I see anyone selling the bulbs? Is it like some "exclusive" thing?

Not hating, just asking.

Don't know the supplier, but they are made in Germany.

A high-profile personality like Jimmy is bound to have its natural detractors, especially with that inflammatory BMW Nightmare Page. I understand that you and he are friends, and I respect your standing up for him, but it's not necessary. He is not only known as a spoiled SOB, "rich prick," etc. etc. etc. - he is also known as a gentleman of honor, who follows through true to his word, and all around generally accomodating good guy.

There is no need to defend him. I am sure that there is a reason why he feels no need to answer the taunts he usually receives (I suspect that for him to care less it would take actual effort), and you don't have to champion him if he himself will not do it.

I will say this. I ran his bulbs in my M3 until I installed my Ellipsoids, and I was satisfied with the look. From most angles, the color closely matched the factory Xenon (IMHO) but once I switched to the Ellipsoids it was like I could suddenly see at night. However, this is testimony to the strength of the Ellipsoid upgrade rather than any real shortcoming of Jimmy's bulbs. If people think he gets his toys from the sale of these bulbs....then they have no idea how much Holmes spends.

I do not see this thread going anywhere, so I am closing it.
