My original yellow bulbs in my projectors blew pretty quick. Since then I've been through 3 pairs of bulbs. I've just given up on hyper whites, and went back the yellows. I hope they can last me. With projectors you can never see that well. You sacrifice to have some sweet looking headlights. HID will solve your problem, but I doubt most of us have $500 to spend on lighting. I know I don't

a H4 bulb is bigger than a H1 so it might not fit your projector. the visibility problem is not the bulb, but your projector. you can retrofit a set of projectors out a another car that gives a better beam pattern. i have tyc projectors and they are pretty bright just using the stock bulbs, but they are even brighter with HID's, check out my profile.
