Default Luminics bulbs anyone?

So Luminics sell two kinds of bulbs, one is there halogen and the second is their krypton series. I'm thinking about getting the Ultra white ones for my driving headlight, because i'm selling my coilovers, going back to regular height, and selling my HIDs because I don't want to blind ppl on the road. Luminics recommend using their plug-and-play harness when using their krypton series bulbs because they burn brighter and hotter than their halogen. So if anyone has any insight on this, should I use their pnp harness? should i not and risk it? or just stick with their regular halogen ultra white bulbs?
I like my HIDs because I have bad sight at night so I like how bright they are. I'm just scared I might burn/fry a harness or something. I've also considered Nokya but i've never had either brand of bulbs so i wouldn't know which is better. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks.

keep your HIDs man, the bulbs aren't worth it. i've gone through alot of luminic bulbs and the light output is worst than stock, i've had the ultra white, jdm yellow, ultra voilet, ultra blue, and titanium white. yes all of my low beam on my tc and when i used to have an accord.

yes that's actually a good thing to do because you will still have the same light output with your HIDs, if you have a bad eye sight at night then going back to stock bulbs will be bad and throwing in aftermarket bulbs will be even worst be it's like driving blind.
i did look at the krypton jdm yellow bulbs and i might order a set of those for my gf's fogs lights just to compare them to the basic jdm yellow bulbs to see if there is a difference...idk gives me something to test out since i get them for cheap before others go out and buy them and regret it after.

Keep me updated with that because right now I have 3000k HIDs in my APT/VRD fogs. The light output is great but theres like light going out to the side of the car.

Yeah I have had both, so I can speak from experience. Luminics bulbs are garbage, and the look/lighting doesnt compare at all to HID. Not to mention that your HID bulbs will last way longer. My luminics bulbs lasted maybe two months before one of them burnt out.
