What H4 bulb to get

I've come to a conclusion, all aftermarket white H4's last 6 months, hahahah...

Don't quite mind it when they're only $30 each... Hell, my last pair was $10US shipped.

Anyway. Just to see if you guys suggest any brand in particular. PIAA's are definitely way too expensive. And of course, preferrably a brand I can get from Autobas for cheap, haha... Upwards to $50~60 is ok if it lasts at least a year...

I've used the Xenon bulbs in the past and they only lasted a couple of months, and I got a ticket for them also.. arghh.

Lately, I've purchased the Sylvania Cool Blue bulb and its great.. I've had it for almost 6 months now.. It lasted through this crazy weather too!! I would suggest the sylvania ones.. I think for two bulbs its gonna cost ya around $35-40

Well, the blue Xenon ones are illegal, but ultra white ones are ok.

So Sylvania eh? I heard Nokya's is good too?

I've on the Xenon Fusion bulbs installed for the past couple of months. Big big difference on stock lights.
Never been flashed by other motorist, nor ever pulled over by the police - they have more important things to look after.

Edit: They were $30

I've had Sylvania Cool Blue for over a year in my car now. They're "whiter" but not "rice".

Made by a reputable company not like that cheap import stuff and reasonably affordable, though they still cost more than ordinary bulbs.

Light output is decent, though not as good as Philips Vision Plus, and can't comapre to stock as that was too long ago.

I bought 'Eurolite Xenon' bulbs at the Performance world car show 1 yr ago for $25, still going strong. I never got hassled by cops for them, had a few ppl flash highbeams at me but no more than with stock bulbs, just dumb ppl [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

The F1's are ok, although I prefer the last ones I had (brighter, and more intense white)... But heck, for $10 can't complain.
