Wow.
Philips won the First, 2nd and third out of five!
Guess I better order mine before the DOT wises up and prevents importing.

OK to get this clear (b/c I'm looking for the right bulbs for my low beams but i don't want to get stuck w/ something I don't want or something that sucks):

Razo's: cool? bright?

Eaglite: ??? (wattages are higher right? can't find a 55w)

Vision Plus: not as blue, but really good w/ light?

Go to midnightmoose.com. I got 100W bulbs, but they do also sell 55W.

Actually Greg you can install themself quite easily, if you know nothing about wiring or electronic it would take 30 mins, if you did 15 mins. It's quite easy and most HID kits come with an Instruction guide, 2 x bulbs, and some wiring accesories, and Temperature Resistant Double sided tape.^^ Safe the labor fee or get a friend to help out.

....But then again...They sure do look good.
Most major HID companies or whole sellers should come with a 1 - 2 year warranty. Mine have been used for a year and are still running, Xenith HID's!

it's ok fellas

Capshift21 has a habit of resurrecting old threads, to ask the same inane questions over and over again... in time you'll see his true identity.

and Cappa26, i'm sure everyone has been waiting for 2 years for the answers to their questions...

keep up the good searching !

Perfect Lights!!!

To tell you the truth, Phillips make the slimmest Ballasts and Brightest HIDs, but MECCATUNE is not bad either, and the MECCATUNE RED SUN is more affordable than the GOLD VERSION, but If anything...get the McCulloch ones...they're not bad...

BUTTT!!!! if you guys are looking for great H7 bulbs not HID, STREET GLOW offer the best i've tried out. I've tried out various Bulbs, PIAA, Eurolights, silverstar bla bla everything...but Street Glow are lighting experts, I love the Street Glow H7s that I have. seriously, Just adjust the lighting hight a little bit, because different bulbs give out different level....adjust it a bit higher, and throw on the Street Glow driving lamps! oh yeah PIAAs are good, but after about 1 1/2 month, they turn dull...but Ive been using these Streetglows for nearly a year, they are great.... you can get them from streetglow.com or cardomain.com/store

thats my suggestion
