Pretty sure it is...I ordered those same bulbs a few months ago. They use the stock wattage so no need to upgrade anything, just put 'em in (hope you have small fingers) I'm really happy with mine

how bright are they compared to stock? the site says that the kelvin rating is only 2500 I believe, what's the stocks rating?

why wouldn't you research it before you purchase?
They had a tool on Luminics that allows you to pull up which bulbs for your car, so you should already be aware that the H4 are for this vehicle. There is no wiring harness or anything additional if you're using stock replacements.
As for the lumination, most bulbs that aren't stock and aren't HID are not quite as bright as stock are, but they pick up different colors from the pale golden glow of stock.
They have said many times that the bulbs do not get quite as hot, and that the heat allows the light to emit further ahead of the vehicle.

I have ultra violets.

I cant tell too much difference (good or bad) from stock. The reflection of the letters on street signs seem to pop out more, but that may just be me...

Well, I don't know if that's true or not because I can't tell if it really pulls the letters out more- BUT- hehe- the signs, license plates, anything whitish really comes back at me as if under a blacklight. I think when it's written in red it's still a pain to read.

well I did pull up that tool, I just wanted to make sure that I didnt need a wiring harness, because I remembered that my friend's xb, he got some luminics h4 and for some reason he couldnt get it in, so I just wanted to make sure that I didnt need wiring harnesses

Strange. Yeah I got mine in May or June and they plug right in. They are a pain to change because it's a tight fit for the head lamps and the rest of the car under the hood. If you have larger hands there's a really good chance you'll scrape a knuckle.
