I've had Philips Extreme for over a year, a good improvement on the normal H4 bulb.

Bought from www.autobulbsdirect.com

List of options here

You can get the Ring Xenon max for about the same price, and they are 100% (claimed) extra light

You won't be dissapointed - when you have fitted one, put both headlamps on and you WILL see the difference
