IPF 55/100W lights $89 shipped at Costco. are these good?

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...se=&lang=en-US

seems like a good deal compare to others, i've searched on the net, they are pretty much $115-$120+ shp everywhere. it doesn't say what model they are, but from the big pictures i'm guessing #968

i have zero knowledge about IPF lights, how do you rate it against Hella, Piaa or ProComp halogen lights in terms of over all quality and customer service?

and how's wired for 50/100W, are these Hi/Lo beam lights?


thanks.

Bought some a few days ago. I've seen these with a cheap HID installed on TTORA and the light output is ridiculous. Can't beat $90 shipped either.

My Hella 500s will be for sale shortly for cheap!

And no, you don't need to be a member to buy stuff of their website.

I just recieved my lights today. They shipped from the costco near me I think cause they got here in 1 day. I also was at the walmart by work yesterday and found out they got the Hella 500 in 55w for $59 and the 100w for $64.

I would like to hook my lights up but I am still waiting for my badland bumper to get finished.

If you buy from Costo online and you are not a member i think they charge you a 5% surcharge. But all you need to do is borrow someones member #.

Between Hella 500's and IPF 968 are the IPF's worth the extra coin?

I've got an older set of IPF lights on my truck and they throw an awful pile of light. They've got 130W bulbs in them as well. I'm not sure the number for them but I have researched the lights you put up on here and for the price they are very good lights. I've acctually thought about getting a set for myself but can't afford the extra fun stuff right now. I would buy them if I were looking for lights.

I like them much more than my Hellas. The IPFs throw light way farther but still maintain a lot of peripheral light output. Worth the cash, especially if you're doing a first time install. The IPF wiring and install stuff is much nicer.
