Question Are these bulbs any good?

I'm not looking for blinding light. Just something that you can see with. I don't want dull a$$ junk

I suppose these are for your Camaro or T/A's fog lights?
If it is T/A, I wouldn't get them #1, they are 50 watt's and the T/A housings are all plastic = melting. #2, the T/A housings just aren't that good, so they aren't gonna get the light out very good.

If it is a Camaro, I wouldn't get them #1 because the Camaro housings aren't that good, although they can handle the 50w.

I wouldn't get them for any vehicle because #1 - they are tinted too heavily.
These bulbs are very high color output.
That means there is less light output. 5200k is a color tempature, not a light output. So they may be 5200k (I doubt it, but they may be), but that doesn't mean they are going to be bright.

Best bet, find a reputable brand with minimal tinting (blueness) and go with it.

Any recommendations for places that would carry these in green? They are for my Camaro

This place has actual 885's in green (stock replacement). But if you are going for color only, the ones off of e-bay are probably just as well, and cheaper. Don't expect any high lighting output from a colored bulb though.

That's a headlight kit. I am looking for fogs. My car is a 95 so those wouldn't work for my car anyway.

Thanks, though
