Philips X-treme Power... who should get it and why get it??? 65K WARNING
#23
So I guess I jinxed myself with the last post. This evening the low beam burned out, after about a year and 9,000 miles. The high beam filament is still OK (despite being used for the DRL). For now I'll probably put the stock bulb back in while I figure out whether to get the XP or the successor... I'm not entirely impressed with the bulb life .

The same day I installed mine I disengaged the DRLs by pulling out the fuse...will be interesting to see how long mine last while not acting as DRLs.

So H4 60/55W for the main headlights.
What about the Nokya yellow bulbs size/wattage for the fogs? Will the Nokya H11 55W work? Like these: Nokya Arctic Yellow H11 55W Light Bulbs | eAutoWorks.com

Yes, all that is what I'm using. As I recall, you may be able to find those Nokya bulbs for a better price somewhere else.

I must say, those lights look like HIDs, never seen anything like them, WOW!
#35
They definitely have them, at least the last time i visited the Bolingbrook one they did. IIRC they ran out of the H4s for the xtreme powers but had plenty of the ge nighthawks and other high end bulbs.

Still looks a little purplish, but not as bad as others. I have Narva Range Power +50s, which should be as bright or brighter because they really don't have any blue stuff on them. See that blue band on the ones you posted?

The Narva +50 can never be more bright as the Xtreme... Narva Rangepower +50 has less lumens than Philips Xtreme.
The purple-ish glow you see is only in pictures... notice the lights on the lamp posts on the car dealership? that's what happens if you capture a light source that gives off intense white (daylight) on a simple camera... outer shade rings of blue to purple

Here's an example from my camera, which I took back before my bulb burned out, and the color looks totally different from ThEvil0ne's. I suppose the bulb was nearing the end of its life, but you can tell it's brighter and has a larger hot spot than the OEM bulb (which is installed on the passenger side for reference). The Philips XP bulb was a little whiter than stock, but it's not so huge that people would really notice. I also under exposed the picture to get a better shot of the light output.
